Girls Weekend. Creepy dolls. Exciting News.

Time to update of you fine people on what's been going on!  This past weekend we had our annual Girls Trip, and it was SO fun. Not all of the aunts and girl cousins could go, so we ended up with only 8. But it was still so great and amazing to have quality time with my Meemaw, mom, sissy, aunts and cousins :) We went to Fredericksburg, TX for a weekend away. 
On the trip there we made a detour for Gruene, TX (pronounced "Green", who knew?). In that cute little town there are cool antique shops, a nice place to eat lunch (The Gristmill), and the BEST cupcake shop! The Gruene Flour Cupcakery was so incredibly yummy.

While in Fredericksburg, they had their Trade Days that same weekend. Some booths and areas were packed with cute, fun, and creative things to buy! And some areas...well, I thought they would be a perfect setting for a horror movie. And in case you need proof...

But of course, it was all fun! I feel like I should warn everyone of something, though. When eating out with my dear cousin....let's call her "Tina", you have to have your wits about you! Because she WILL tell the waiter that it's your birthday, for 2 main reasons. To embarrass you, and to get a free dessert (duh). The first victim was Meemaw, who told us that she prayed for forgiveness for accepting it haha. And if we would not have had such horrible service at a particular German restuarant then I am sure Tina would have pulled the same shenanigans there. So the next victim was my aunt, at Mamacitas. I pity her because she had to endure a sombrero, singing, and an encore. But hey, we got sopapillas. Now, I do not condone this behavior...but I also do not condone turning down free dessert.
I LOVE my Meemaw :)

And now, on to the exciting news! I am shooting my first wedding tomorrow night! I get to be a second-shooter for Open Window Photography for a wedding at the Frisco Heritage Chapel. I am beyond excited for this opportunity. Wish me luck and stay tuned to my Website and Facebook Page for Sneak Peeks of the wedding next week! :)
