I Heart NY

Russ and I just got back from a whirlwind trip to New York City. Russ got flown out to interview for a job (the job's here in Austin), so we figured we'd make a mini vacation out of it. It was a definitely a new experience for us trying to hail taxis and fighting through crowds to get where we wanted to go. We had a blast! Here are a few pictures of some of the sights we saw.

In the middle of Time Square.

In front of Radio City Music Hall.

In front of the tree at Rockefeller Center.

The whole tree.

Thanks to Mama Brown for the tickets to see Wicked. It was "Oz"some!

Wedding Pictures

We are so excited because we just got all of our wedding pictures on a CD! We had such a good time looking through all of the pictures and getting to relive our special day all over again. We figured we'd share some with everyone, so here you go!

Big Man on Campus

For weeks Russ has been working on his application for MBA school at UT and today was the last part of the process...the interview. I got to go with him and after he was done blowing them away, so just another typical day for him, we got to walk around UT and see what will assumedly be "the big man's" campus.

Our photographer failed to capture one vital part of the longhorn behind us, the horns.

The Great Outdoors

Since we've been outside of Utah for a few months now we've started to miss the mountains. So we decided we wanted to try to find a mountain here in Austin. After doing a little research Russ found Austin's highest mountain, Mt. Bonnell. Even though it's about the elevation of the typical hill in most places, it was high enough for us to see all of Lake Austin, Pennybacker Bridge and downtown Austin. It was a fun little hike and perfect weather too!

Party in the U.S.A.

So this past week Jake & Shannon came to Austin to visit. It was great to spend time with them but, best of all was getting to celebrate her and dad's birthdays. I think the greatest gift dad received was hearing us sing Happy Birthday to him. I caution you to listen at your own risk...

No, that balloon doesn't have a faux hawk. It's just Jake!

Ain't No Party Like an Alabama Party

The Saturday after our wedding Russ and I flew from Miami to Alabama for another amazing reception, thanks to family and friends. Everything was beautiful, and we couldn't have asked for better music! We didn't want to hog all the cuteness to ourselves so enjoy.

Bienvenido a Miami

So for our honeymoon Russ and I spent a couple days in San Antonio and got to enjoy the riverwalk. Then we headed to Miami! We had so much fun and it was beautiful there. We got to do a lot of fun things but our favorite thing we got to do was go parasailing. While I was holding on to the parachute harness for dear life, Russ somehow managed to capture the experience on video and I'm glad he did. It was awesome!
