Quick trip to Houston

Last week I made a quick trip to Houston to celebrate Mallory's birthday with her.  I drove down with Johnna on Wednesday and our first stop was none other than Anthropologie.  After a quick run through of the store we met up with Sarah, Mallory, and Kara for a birthday eve dinner at the Cadillac Bar.  We closed the place down and were really confused on why no one else was there at 10:00...until we realized it was a Wednesday night.  It felt like a Friday to us since we had taken the rest of the week off!

The next day was Mal's birthday so we met up for brunch at Tiny Boxwood.  Love that place!



We spent the rest of the afternoon doing what we do best, shopping.  I love shopping with these two because we all know each others style so well.  We played a game all day where we would pick a mannequin with an outfit on and all had to say who would be most likely to wear the outfit.

Once we had bought everything that we "loved" we headed back to Mal and Rob's apartment.  Their back door opens up to a miniature putt putt golf course so we grabbed Rob's putters and played a round. We hung out around there until it was time for them to start getting ready to go out to dinner to celebrate her birthday together.

Sarah dropped me off at Trevor's parents house just in time to go to dinner with Trevor's dad and then go watch Trevor's cousin, one of our flower girls, Caroline, play in a soccer game.  Her team was undefeated and they were playing a team that was also undefeated so it was sure to be a good game!  It was dark by the time we got there so it was hard to get a good picture.  I played around with the settings on my camera for a while to try to get a good shot.

This one is blurry, but it is Caroline scoring a goal!

She's the cute yellow one on the right :)

Action shot with her dad, the team's coach, watching on the sidelines.

And this is what her little sister, Catherine, was doing the whole time, playing with friends in the dirt and getting pony rides :)

It was an exciting game and they ended up winning 6-0!!!  Trevor was so jealous that he didn't get to go. It was fun to see Matt & Melinda and the girls and hear Trevor's dad tell me stories from when he coached Trev's teams on the same fields!  After the game we headed home and passed out pretty quickly.  The next morning I headed back to Corpus with Kara since she was coming to town for Kylie's baby shower.  It was a quick trip, but it was so fun to see so many people I love in the middle of the week!
