One Margarita.....Two Margarita.... Three Margarita.... Floor.... LOL It was an awesome night! =)
Saturday was a beautiful day! We got a break from our 103 degree weather on Saturday with a nice 86 degrees and a wonderfully cool breeze. It was a perfect day of fun at my niece's Scentsy Launch Party. I learned that Scentsy is so much more than just candles and $117 later, I can say that everything from our house to our car will be smelling great! My niece, Sandra, is so much fun and has such a wonderful personality that I know she will do great in this business. I'm very proud of her. Go Sandra Scentsy!!! Saturday evening my husband and I decided to go get some Cherry Vodka, Limes, 7UP, and Cherry Juice to make some Twisted Cherry Limeades. While buying the Cherry Vodka we also found Cake Vodka. If you have not tried this...you must! It smells and tastes exactly like cake! It was such a beautiful night that we sat on the back porch sipping our Twisted Cherry Limeades and playing Greed, (a dice game), with my parents.
Today we got up early and headed to Grapevine for a photo shoot with a girl I work with, Michele, and her little boy, Justin. We began at the Vintage Railroad Station in downtown where I got some awesome shots with the trains, on the tracks, and some other fun little places in that area. Then Justin changed into his Karate uniform and we went to a little cove I know at Grapevine Lake. It just so happened that there were lots of sailboats on the lake which made for an awesome backdrop. We had Justin in his uniform and bare feet. He did some of this favorite kick poses and was just so darn adorable! He changed again and we were off to my favorite place at the lake... a spot with lots of huge rocks to climb on and over. There are so many possibilities at this part of the lake and it is simply gorgeous. My husband Scott went along with me as my assistant and was magnificent as always. I just can't say enough about him as he has lots of great ideas, keeps me on time, and was able to coax Justin into some places where he was a bit anxious to go at first. It was a great photo shoot and we treated little Justin to an ice cream cone afterwards at a nearby Braums because he did such a wonderful job, (also because Scott used a "treat" as a bribe to get Justin on the last rock in the lake that ended up being an awesome shot). My husband is a genius....
After we wrapped the photo shoot my husband and I were a bit hungry. Being the genius that he is, my sweet hubby suggested a restaurant in Fort Worth he had been wanting to try for some time and off we went. The restaurant was the Hunter Brothers' H3 Ranch. This is one of the best steak houses I've ever been to. My husband had ribs and sweet thighs with baked beans, pan fried potatoes and roasted corn on the cob. I had a salad with ranch dressing to begin my meal, then had the 12 oz. Ribeye steak with sauted mushrooms, pan fried potatoes, and a side of grilled shrimp. Of course neither one of us finished our dinner, but it was soooo good. We then decided to walk off all that food around the Fort Worth Stockyards. There were quite a few antique cars on display up and down the road and we found a 1800's replicated stage coach. Having never been in a stage coach before, we of course had to jump on in! It was so cool riding in that thing and thinking about how it was once the only way to travel. The ride finished just in time for the 4:00 cattle drive through the stockyards... wow!! I was able to get some awesome shots of the beautiful longhorn bulls as they walked within a few feet of us. It was so great! =) After the cattle drive we decided to browse a gift shop where I got my parents some gifts.... among which was a "RedNek Margarita Glass" for my mother... this thing was awesome and I knew it was her as soon as I saw it. And, just as I had suspected, she was using the thing not 5 minutes after I gave it to her... it was like she was just sitting there waiting for it... LOL I put a photo of it below. When we left the gift shop we walked a few stores down to a cute little cupcake shop for a yummy dessert treat.
All in all, I had the best day ever. I absolutely love hanging out with my best friend who just also happens to be my husband. Actually, the entire weekend was great and I couldn't have asked for better weather. Now I need to get today's photo shoot uploaded to my computer so I can officially get to work on the editing process... and then it will be off to bed. I'm so exhausted! But it is the good kind of exhaustion. I hope everyone out there had a great weekend as well.
