meet the Powers & fun day in Austin

This is one of my gorgeous BEST FRIENDS. Catherine! We grew up together & although she was a little older & her sister, Caroline was more in my circle of friends - we became close when we lived in Austin. Our friendship is rare & I love it. Her & Willie are the kind of friends we will be friends with for life. Stephen & Willie do business together and we dream of one day moving to the same small town & just setting up shop - taking it over :) Oh, and these are her puppies - Diva {the white one, I'm her aunt!} and Ruby

We had a blast in Austin! We love being in our old stomping grounds & especially being at our best friend's house - the Powers! We took some quick pictures before heading to TAYLOR SWIFT!!! We drove through P.Terry's for dinner {one of my fave Austin spots!} and then the boys dropped us off at Taylor Swift! Cat and I had a fabulous time. T.Swift rocked it and so did the opening acts - Gloriana and Kellie Pickler. Taylor really was great live & put on a real show! She gives a good message for all the young girls who come to her shows - I am quite impressed.

The best part of the show was when she came through the crowd & started singing on this mini revolving stage RIGHT BY US! She was literally 10 yards from from - here is the picture from my iPhone

Thursday was a great day! Slept in, traditional breakfast and coffee at the powers household, lunch outside at The Grove, shopping for the girls (Catherine was cracking up at how excited I was about the mall!), work for the guys, a snow cone at Sno Beach and to finish the night off - dinner at THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT EVER!! Matt's el Rancho with the old wednesday night crew.

so fun to catch up with old Austin friends & also see my FAVE, Scarlett! We had a great time catching up - makes me miss living in the same town as her :( until next time!

Thank you Cat&WillPow for a great time in Austin!
