drive-in date

i had never seen the goonies. i know, i know. i'm not sure how that's possible either. somehow i missed it in my childhood but as an adult i have definitely tried.  

last year it was playing at the tribeca film festival on an outdoor screen. it rained. they played it at deep eddy pool here in austin but it was the week before we moved. it's not available on netflix so when i saw it was playing at the mini urban drive in i knew i had no choice but to buy tickets in advance.

 another nice little date as a two-some. 

a little date, a first

friday night rob and i headed to our first high school football game together. it's not very often, after nearly seven years together, that we celebrate a first so...very exciting! 

with the arrival of our little girl drawing near, we are trying to embrace this last short time we have alone together. i know we will be overflowing with love once she arrives but there is something a bit sad about closing this chapter of our lives.

(westlake is apparently the school the movie friday night lights was based on)

ok, ok, i admit that as much as we are enjoying each other we were really, really hopeful that the blue moon would somehow trigger labor. no love from the moon!  

oh christmas tree

while on a walk after a little date at our favorite burrito joint in the hood, rob and i fell in love with the cutest, smallest christmas tree we have ever had. there was no choice but to adopt it.

husband said later that he knew it was 'our tree' when we both smiled and laughed a bit when we first stood it up. we will adorn her with beautiful lights and decor once she settles into her new home. oh the smell!

merry christmas everyone!
