Busy busy....

I have not been good about updating this thing lately. I have a meeting that I'm leaving for in about, oh, 30 minutes and just realized I have done nothing in the past 2 weeks besides nurse a really bad viral infection, go to work, work late hours, come home, cook dinner or go pick something up because I'm too exhausted to cook, watch the olympics and sleep. Which I've been horrible about getting enough sleep throughout these weeks as well.

Anyways, last weekend was a ton of FUN. After leaving work on Saturday G, Charlie and I went to an Austin Pets Alive Valentine's fundraiser on Congress last weekend and took Charlie. It was so much fun, live music, opportunities to donate to the organization where we got Charlie and free beer. Yes, free beer :) So we hung out there for a couple of hours, met lots of dogs and got to spend some great quality time outside in the beautiful Austin weather we've had lately.

After the APA fundraiser we headed over to Freddies, where dogs are allowed! G and I sat outside and had margaritas, split some nachos and gave Charie a bone to chew on while we relaxed outside. We're trying to teach him to not beg...it's not going so well.

Sunday we slept in and then Courtney and Justin came over to pick up Lexie (we had watched her Saturday night) and all of us hiked down to the greenbelt behind our complex. It was the prettiest walk through the woods. Once we were almost down we could hear the water running and all of us got really excited. We found a secluded spot on the creek (which was pretty deep, running and was crystal clear) and hung out there for a couple of hours. We attempted to throw Charlie in the water hoping he would love it but instead he decided to follow in Lexie's footsteps and be hesitant of the water. We're all going camping in March out at Garner State Park and we're hoping to uncover a love of water in Charlie at that time! I think we'll do it... Anyways, so yeah. We loved hiking down there, being outside, getting some good exercise and spending quality time with the family.

Long story short, I'll upload pictures later. We got some cute ones of Lexie and Charlie sleeping together (on the couch) and then also got some good pictures down by the creek. I'm sure there are other random ones floating around that I'll post as well but that'll have to wait until either Sunday or Monday when I get back from Fort Worth.

Wish me luck on my meeting, this one's rough...it's all business and all about financials, budgets, numbers and membership questions. I'm ready for it to be over :) At least I talked the husband into letting me drive the new car up there!!!!!!
