Happy Thursday! Wow, this week is flying by. Last night, I had one of my favorite nights in Austin so far…my sweet friend celebrated her 21st birthday with dinner at an amazing restaurant (Eddie V’s, for you Austinites!

Even though the Royal Wedding was a few weeks ago, I still find myself lingering over magazines with the smiling Will and Kate on the cover. I wasn’t all that hyped up about it beforehand, but as soon as I woke up on April 29, I got swept into the fairy tale watching recap after […]
