Early Anniversary Celebration

Since David and I will only see each other for about two hours on our actual anniversary (duty calls - we both have to work), we decided to go ahead and celebrate this weekend. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying more of Austin. Here's a recap:

We started with dinner on Friday night at Truluck's, our favorite seafood and steak restaurants. David surprised me with an anniversary gift...
 
A James Avery charm bracelet! The wine bottle represents where we met (at Cork & Co.) and that we got engaged at a winery in Napa Valley. The dolphins represent our honeymoon in Hawaii. I can't wait to add to it with Baby Fluty and other great things in our lifetime. 
On Saturday, we started at Kerbey Lane for pancakes and omelets, and then came home and relaxed. I should rephrase that - by "relaxing" I did laundry and vacuumed. David helped clean the kitchen, which I'm sure wasn't his version of relaxing. But, in the end, I felt better with the house being clean, which, I'm sure, in turn was better for both of us (David says I nag...I have no idea what he's talking about!). :)
We finished the day with a wonderful homemade meal. David grilled pork tenderloin, and we had also had potatoes and tomatoes from the farm. To top it off, I made German chocolate cupcakes (but don't get too excited - it was a box mix). The cupcakes were David's request (see picture above), and it reminded us of his groom's cake (which was German chocolate in the shape of a horseshoe) at the wedding. It was all quite delicious!
 On Sunday, we ate until we couldn't move at Moonshine Bar and Grill. They have an amazing all-you-can eat brunch, and me, being the pregnant woman I am, took full advantage. I even got a comment from the next table on how much I ate. What can I say? Baby Fluty loves brunch!
We finished our weekend with wonderful massages at Viva Day Spa. Afterward, we came home and truly relaxed this time...by lounging on the couch all day.
We both have a busy September ahead of us, and it was nice to take time out and enjoy each other and take full advantage of the great things around Austin!
