One year later...

This post is a little long in coming, but it better late than never. This is one of my favorite wedding photos. I can't believe that it has already been a year (well over a year now). The first year of marriage was amazing and I hope that all of the years to come are just as good.

To celebrate our anniversary we decided to head out to Fredricksburg for the weekend. the weekend was such a nice break from our busy month.

Hayden pretending to be serious at our bed and breakfast. The B&B was apparently a getaway of LBJ and that was his favorite chair. So of course Hayden had to sit in the chair and do an impersonation.On our actual anniversary we broke out our wedding cake...err wedding cupcakes. Year old gluten-free cupcakes aren't great, but we had to keep with tradition. Hayden ended up eating most of mine.
One thing that we found out during our trip is that Hayden really likes German food. When you are in Fredericksburg you can eat a lot of it.

Sunday afternoon we drove up to Enchanted Rock and then had a late lunch at Coopers in Llano.
After treking up to the top we decided to find our own way down. Unfortunately, we may have picked the steepest way possible. I'm pretty sure it was about a 65 degree slope for a few hundred feet.
Finally we made it down and took a leisurely stroll around the main loop. After all of that hiking we were ready to dive in to some bbq and head home.

We're homeowners! At least we should be in a couple months...

So it has been a long time since we've posted anything, but we have a pretty good reason. The first part of the summer was full of weekend trips with family and friends. All of the rest of our free time has been spent looking for a place to settle down. It looks like we might have found it.

The future Migl's Nest on Wing Road

We started seriously looking with a realtor about a month ago thinking it would take a while to find a place, but she did a great job of narrowing down our search and showing us properties that matched what we're looking for. The place that we have under contract was on the market a day before we looked at it and was priced well for the neighborhood. She almost did too good of a job because the lease on our apartment goes through October. Luckily, the seller is still looking for a place so he is receptive to delaying the closing which works better for us.

It's in a nice looking neighborhood in southwest Austin so we should have a shorter commute which we both really wanted, and it is move-in ready. Although I'm sure there will still be some posts about some home improvement projects (Morgan is putting together her home binder with paint colors and decorating ideas :)
