My alarm went off today at 7 AM ..yes it's Saturday but I wanted to wake up..brew coffee, and go for a walk. I woke up Brandon, threw on my gym clothes and ran downstairs to start our morning. When I stepped outside to let Mr. Colt do his business I was greeted with a nice gust of cool air! Finally!!! My pumpkin stuff is being put to good use-it doesn't just feel like summer with a bunch of pumpkins hanging around :)! Walking this morning in our beautiful neighborhood felt so good because I know my favorite season is here ...the season where I got married two years ago, and the season where I get to bake nonstop and blaze my pumpkin candles...the season before all of the holiday bustle. I love it! It was such a great day.
This was after our walk this morning..Brandon and I have a thing..every weekend ( unless something is going on) we try and go to one restaurant that has been on the DDD list. ( Food Network's Diners, Drive ins, and Dives) San Antonio is FULL of hidden gems. Today we went to Magnolia Pancake Haus, I have been dying to go here for TWO years. UM two years...yes that is how long I have lived in San A and I have not gotten to eat here yet. Unless you come here during the wee hours of the morning you will be waiting for 2 plus hours..because the pancakes are that good..
So because we started our morning chipper and bright ( Brandon would hate that I said that :)) We were able to make the crack of dawn service ..ANDDDD it was worth it!!!
I had the blueberry pancakes:)
Onto last week....
Fall Makeover!!!
I am the girl who has spring/summer makeup and fall/winter makeup
all you makeup junkies know what I am sayin'! I scavenged the Nars section of Sephora last week and found my all-time favorite fall lipstick it is called "Damage" and it is such a pretty little berry stain on your pout ..it just looks great for fall~
you can shop the lipstick HERE
Because I am part time this year my days off are glorious :) ( JK) I have a lot going on actually BUT I find lots of time to get all of my chores done.. my house was never this clean last year..laundry and coffee are what get me going on Tuesday and Thursday morning!

A few things I love about living in SA...1. The hill country 2. My friends and preschool St. Thomas and 3. My parents live down the road!!! I feel like the worlds luckiest girl sometimes that I have parents who live so close. They are here for everything...mom is absolutely in love with her home and is attempting to style it exactly the way she envisioned so we met at Starbucks this day to talk about her new ideas and paint colors for the walls.
ps. The graham latte or whatever it is called is taking place of my beloved pumpkin spice. Yep!
We celebrated these two and their now third year of marriage! HA! Want the back story on this..wait for another post :) I feel beyond blessed everyday to have my parents back together again!
A fall mani done by me!! Piazza cake by OPI
In case you need a yummy fall supper try my Mexican Lasagna
It will not disappoint. I make this all the time during football season when we are hosting friends over to watch football and they love it!
I love my husband for a billion reasons but one of the main reasons is that this Texas girl loves a steak... he spoils me ROTTEN with his grilling skills and I am so proud of the Texan that this California boy has become :) Perfection on a Saturday night:)
then we went to see Martian...eh. Not the greatest but not bad either
Life lately!
