2009 memories in photos

We cooked a lot - and are starting to become quite competent in tex-mex and mexican recipes:


Our mailbox was destroyed. Again.

We thoroughly enjoyed Pi Rho festival (the rocket festival we go to with our friend Sally):
Matt, which his Redorkulator

Having baseball to softball sized hail hit my car with me in it is not something I want to do again:
3/25 Hail

Having old friends move to Austin has been a very good thing. It's been fun cooking and playing Rock Band with Brian & Angela. We've also had fun making sure they've experienced almost all of our favorite Austin restaurants:
At Shady Grove

We may not be fast when it comes to home improvement, but we did finish our half-bath:
Half Bath counter

I like doing Hawaiian Applique:
First-ever Hawaiian Applique

We toured the Astros Stadium in Houston, and Matt posed in the dugout as the manager:


Colorado was beautiful, especially the aspens.


It will be tough to top these Halloween Costumes:


Matt got 2nd place in the Central Market Hatch Green Chile cook-off:


Mi Tierra at Market Square in San Antonio is as kitschy as anything, but wow, is it tasty:


No trip to Cornerstone is complete without a James Brownie Funky Jackhammer from Andy's Frozen Custard in Springfield, Missouri (and this year, a bonus trip to Kansas City)


Our elitist & Cornerstone friends are among the best people ever. It was really great having Sara there this year!


Going on sabbatical is the best. I wish I could do it every day!

Being delayed in Dallas, then re-routed to Vegas did not make for a great start to our Hawaiian vacation. But, we did have the most expensive hamburgers ever (when you factor in cab fare from the Las Vegas airport to the nearest In-N-Out burger). Delicious!


We both hiked Diamond Head in Oahu. This was a big accomplishment for me, considering that 2009 has been the year of heel pain. :(


Hawaii was gorgeous, of course!


Having my parents visit us in Hawaii was wonderful! (and warm, other than the day on Haleakala)


We drove through West Texas. Not a whole lot there, honestly. But, I will remember that it's always fun to road-trip with Matt.


Here's a slideshow of other photos from 2009:

4 years ago today


4 years ago today, Matt & I were married. Happy day!

Today is a happy day as well, though we're celebrating in a different way. We're going to get the best fajitas in Austin with some good friends (one of my bridesmaids, and one of our wedding ushers, actually)), then back to their place to watch the season premier of Mythbusters. Do we know how to celebrate or what? :)

(We will most likely be going out, just us, for a nice meal this weekend - but were more in the mood to do something casual with friends today).
