100 Days

In exactly 100 days, I will be marrying the love of my life. I can't wait to be Mrs. Miranda Kay Thompson. :)

Mal and I just got back from a Spring Break trip to Austin to visit my grandparents. Memaw and Pepaw sure do know how to have a good time! We got there on Wednesday and we went to the outlet shops in San Marcus. Pepaw is so cute when we go shopping. He comes along, but never intends on shopping. He moves the car up and down the shops wherever we need him. Then he sits and reads his book until we need him to move closer to us. We walked out to the car once we were done, and he had escaped. We called him and found out that he was getting ice cream right by the car. So we joined him, and it was perfect weather for sitting outside and enjoying a sweet treat.

On Thursday, they took us to Fredricksburg, which was a lot of fun. We walked up and down the main street and bought a few things here and there. The atmosphere of Fredricksburg is really neat. If you haven't been, you should definitely check it out. Then, Pepaw "surprised" us by taking a small detour to Luckenbach. We walked around a little and listened to a Willie Nelson look alike singing and playing his guitar. What a cool place! I could have sat there for hours. It was well shaded and such a pretty day for enjoying some time outside and listening to good music. And, according to my Pepaw, we are now officially Texans since we've been to Luckenbach. :)

Other fun things about our trip: dinner at Chuy's with Terri and Rita, playing games of Phase 10 at night, a visit to Charming Charlie's, jamming out to old songs with Mal and just enjoying one another's company. There's nothing like spending time with family. I feel like one lucky girl.
