Another Eventful Weekend

CP — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 02:45:14 +0000

Christy and I had another fun filled weekend despite the rain.

Saturday morning we hit up the Outdoor Living Tour and were both quite impressed with the setups of some of the homes.

Another great thing about going out to these Home Tours is discovering cool little neighborhoods in places you wouldn’t expect. We left inspired with ideas for our own backyard but they’ll most likely have to wait until after the wedding

On Sunday, we also attended the Hill Country Food and Wine Festival in Driftwood. Apparently, this was held near the grounds of Salt Licks new vineyard.

They have a huge amount of land, and the vineyard itself looks to go on for acres and acres. We presume the Salt Lick BBQ restaurant will soon be serving up their very own branded wine in the not too distant future.

The festival itself was a lot of fun, and Christy and I enjoyed sampling new wine varieties and blends. Definitely something we’ll do again next year.

Pictures of both events are in the photos section.

Now looking forward to next week, when my friends from Plano come into town for a visit.

Engagement Photos

CP — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 16:08:41 +0000

Got some time this morning to post our engagements photos online.

Christy and I planned quite a few different scenes for the session.

Christy loves coffee, and part of her morning ritual at IBM Rochester was to walk to the cafeteria and get her plain, skinny, latte with no sugar. The Jo’s Coffee pictures tell the story of how we met at IBM and I’d pretend to LOVE plain coffee just so I could take that walk with her in the morning. After a while though, I had to come clean and tell her my preference for more sweet drinks like mocha latte’s. The people at IBM cafe always did my mochas up with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a pirouline. We thought it was a funny contrast, and offers quite a bit of insight into our personalities.

The lady and the tramp pics convey both of our love for food, and how our relationship grew making and planning meals together.

Other pictures hopefully show some other sides to our personality….from being active and enjoying life as if we were kids, to being young professional engineers in Austin.

Pictures turned out really great in our opinion, and love the look and feel Erin was able to achieve. I’m really excited about having her photograph our wedding in her unique and brilliant style.

I also added an HD version this time around. Hope you enjoy!
