4 wonderful years

Four years ago I married my favorite person. :)

Later today we will be enjoying dinner at the Melting Pot. At the end of the evening my list deadline will arrive. Soon I will update on my unfinished goals and my new list. For now though, I am spending time with my hubby!

#43 Make Creme Brulee

As crunch time approached for my list deadline, I decided to give this one a try. It turned out pretty tasty. I think that there are other desserts that I would rather waste my calories on, but for my very first try it came out great. I will try and remember to post the Creme Brulee recipe for two on my food blog soon.

#36 Find a job I love

While it isn't my forever job, I do have a job that I love. I get to spend time with two of the sweetest girls every week. While some days it is work answering so many questions, most days it is just tons of fun. I love babysitting L & E. Soon I will get to meet their newest baby addition :)

#18 Finish Loveseats

The before fabric is on the right ;)

After the bottom was stapled under and new legs put on.

When we moved to Austin the only furniture we had was our mattress and my drafting table. Our "foster parents" in Austin gave us these two love seats. They were, um, how do I put this nicely? They were 80s in oh so many ways. The lines are great though so I decided to make a combo slipcover/reupholster on them. It was time consuming but worth it!

#40 Get Wedding Dress Cleaned

Can you say procrastinator? My four year wedding anniversary is tomorrow! My dress is currently at Austin Cleaners. I payed a little extra to have them put it in a box, along with my shoes, veil, and headband. I will do a full review once I get it back, which should be any day now. Fingers crossed that it looks just like the day I bought it!

#81 Learn to play Chess

My opponent was smart and agile. heehee.

I have now played several games with my husband. I have yet to win a single one though.

#71 Take an Art Class

When I originally put this on my list I was thinking it would be a painting or pottery class. That didn't happen though. I did however take some card making classes and some scrapbooking classes. So I am crossing it off!

#67 Visit a Texas Winery

When my parents were in town visiting, my husband and I took them to not one, but TWO wineries. I doubly crossed this one off. ha.

We went to the Driftwood Estates Winery. It was my favorite of the two we visited. Of the wines we tasted everyone liked the orange muscat and the Sangiovese.

The second winery we went to was the winery at Mandola's. It recently went through a name/owner change and is called Duchman Family Winery. It was ok, but more "commercial" feeling.

We had a blast winding along the roads to get there.

#20 Start House Hunting

The home search has officially begun. I am dragging my feet while my husband is all sorts of excited. Hoping to be home owners by the end of the year.
