austin bound

by Mojito Maven on March 27, 2009

This weekend Mr. Mojito and I are heading to Austin for Kate’s Wedding!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Evan and Kate!! We are so happy for you both!

Some of my favorite bloggers (Slynnro, Maggie from Eat, Drink, Marry, and Millytini) will be in attendance and I cannot wait to engage in foolishness with them. AND I may also get to meet the wonderful Mel from I Pick Pretty!!!! I am so thankful blogging brought all of you into my life!!!! You girls are the best.

For those who are interested in the Maxi dress situation…I did not win the original dress I bid on. The other chick outbid me at the last second. BUT I did decide to bid on the same dress in a different color and I did come out victorious!! YAY SUCCESS!!!

Here is the dress I won…

Here is the dress I bid on originally…

AND our new bed gets delivered this morning!!! Woo hoo!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!

What a gorgeous dress – congrats on being the “winning bidder!”

Have a great weekend and I look forward to hearing about your favorite Austin spots. My hubby and I are thinking of taking a road trip down there ourselves next month and could use all the suggestions we can get!

17 koopermom 03.27.09 at 10:40 am

I personally love the blue and yellow one more anyways!!

18 Princess Selina 03.27.09 at 10:50 am

Yay for the good ol’ ATX! Have fun at Kate’s wedding! From everything she’s posted on the knot and on her blog, I know it’s going to be amazing. =)

19 Undomesticated Newlywed 03.27.09 at 10:51 am

Love the dress. I think you’ll look greak in the yellow and blue option! Have fun at the wedding!

20 Maggie 03.27.09 at 10:51 am

“Engage in foolishness” sums it up PERFECTLY. We are going to have a blast!

I love the dress you won, more than the original, actually. Plus, the colors in original are a lot like that dress you e-mailed me that you already own… so maybe the winning one is something really new and fresh in your closet? Perfect for summer with a tan, or off for cocktails after an afternoon at Kate’s pool… HA!

21 B 03.27.09 at 10:54 am

Both dresses are gorgeous! Who makes them?

22 Abbie 03.27.09 at 10:57 am
