A little slice of Heaven...

I had a great night on my last night in Dallas, I got to have dinner and watch movies with a great friend of mine Stacey and we had so much fun. But the highlight of the night was when we had a little taste of heaven for dessert at Cantino Laredo! If you haven't had their Mexican Apple Pie, you must try it!! All I can say is "Too die for". It was the best dessert I have had in a while & I eat lots of desserts -- I'll blame that on my husband's sweet tooth. ;) I have one too, but Jarrod always caves to his so of course I cave with him. Anyhow, back to the Mexican Apple Pie...it is brought out on a skillet, Mexican Brandy Butter poured all around it until the whole plate is sizzling goodness! It is topped with your choice of cinnamon or vanilla ice cream. We had the cinnamon & it was yummy. So if you are having a craving for an awesome dessert, head over to Cantina Laredo. You won't be sorry! I wish I had a picture of the heavenly slice for you, but I don't so you'll just have to check it out yourself. :) Oh ya, & there food is really great too! http://www.cantinalaredo.com/

Making our Trail...



Well, after much nudging by our friends, we are entering the world of blogging! I'll try to summarize the trail that got us to where we are today. Our journey together began a little over 3 years ago when we met through a mutual friend on April 24, 2005 in Dallas, Texas. We had lots of fun adventures in dating and on August 4, 2006 decided we wanted to have a lifetime of fun adventures together. We were at the Dallas Museum of Art when Jarrod proposed & we were married a little over 9 months later in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. It was an amazing time sharing our union in marriage with our friends and family with the beautiful beaches of the Destin area as our backdrop! We had quite a few fun trips in our first year of marriage -- to the lake, tubing & canoing down rivers, Los Angeles, Napa & too many fun times with friends and family to list. To top off our first year, we headed back to Santa Rosa Beach for our anniversary & the memories of our wedding weekend flooded back! We had such a great time re-visiting the area. It will definitely always be a place that we visit often & that holds special meaning for us. As we were celebrating our first year together, we were also about to embark on our first big change together -- moving to Austin, Texas. Jarrod was offered a great opportunity to take a position at his company's Austin division. So, as of 5 days ago, we are now both in Austin. Although, we are very sad to leave our friends in Dallas, we are ready to embrace this new experience! We love the outdoors & relaxed nature of Austin already and are looking forward to visits from friends and family!

We hope our blog will help our friends & family keep up with the "trails" we are making on our new journey! Please visit us often and drop us a line!
