Ok ok trying to play catch up and post the drafts I had lined up last year....
How to chronicle such an amazing year?! It was truly amazing to be blessed with the ability to participate in so many journeys.
The first adventure was to take my best friend S on a day trip to the Texas Hill Country where we hiked around Enchanted Rock and stopped by Fredericksburg.
February was a pretty low key month. Stuck within ACL (Austin City Limits). March came and S's parents came in to help work on the workshop. I got to take a fun girl's trip to Baltimore to visit my other best friend T.

We took a weekend trip to Longview to visit my family in early April. I am so very glad we did because I was able to see Memaw one last time. S's cousin got married at a neat park in Houston on April 12th. I know the date because that is when Memaw passed. Alzheimers is nasty. While it was sad to lose her, we got to spend time with family we have not seen in ages.

Sadly the day after we returned to Austin, we learned that S's granddad passed away. So we then traveled up to Hereford to say our goodbyes. The bright side of this is that we were with a ton of family for Easter. Our church group was so great during this time. They gave us a plant in honor of our grandparents. It is still sitting in our entry way as a lovely reminder.

May was a much better month. First off, S accepted a job at Google! It is his dream job. He had a guy's trip to the NYC area before flying cross country for his training in Silicon Valley. The weekend between training weeks, I flew out to check out San Francisco. A sampling of the many photos I took on our adventures there.
