On May 3rd, we took Owen to the capital of the good state of Texas for one of my best friend's, Courtney's wedding. We decided to make a long weekend of it so that we could spend some time with various friends. This was a really special trip because we introduced Owen to Austin (the city in which his Mommy and Daddy fell in love in) and also because he had to learn that he had no other choice but be a Longhorn. :) We got to see so many special friends on this trip. We flew in to Austin on a Thursday morning and I wish I could say that Owen was great on this flight. Unfortunately he was EXTREMELY tired, hot and hungry as we boarded the plane in Houston for our layover. We were so embarrassed, but we boarded that small plane with him SCREAMING at the top of his lungs. He is not a crabby baby in general, but if he's hungry or tired, he will LET YOU KNOW. Well, it was about 20 minutes too late on all things and he was NOT having it. I apologized to every seated passenger as we made our way to the BACK of the plane to our seats. Thankfully he settled down after I fed him and we had a pleasant 45 minute flight to Austin.
Once we landed in Austin, we went to have lunch with friends. We met up with Monica who is a college friend of both Tommy and I's and FINALLY got to see her sweet baby boy Harry in person. Owen and Harry LOVED each other and it was so cute to finally see them next to each other. After all, they cyber stalk each other via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram ALL DAY LONG. :) We also got to see the bride for a quick lunch. Owen also decided to DROOL on poor Courtney and left a mark on her new spray tan. Sorry Court!! Luckily the glowing bride was a good sport about it and didn't mind!
We had decided we would go and visit our good friends, the Shermans, during this visit. Johnny and Adrianna are good friends of ours and have three adorable kids. They used to live in DC (in fact they were the first people we visited when we moved to NC) and we've even vacationed with them in Hawaii! Tommy and Johnny have known each other since grade school and we just so happen to have babies only 2 months apart. We joke that their 4 month old is going to be Owen's future roommate at UT since Johnny and Tommy were roommates. They are the new generation Tommy and Johnny!! We had such a nice stay with the Shermans and loved catching up with them! On Saturday morning, they took us to story time and Owen was mesmerized by the lady reading the books. She did all kinds of funny voices and Owen could NOT take his eyes off of her! We loved visiting with the Shermans and really hope we can spend more time with them soon! Thanks for the hospitality guys!!
The rest of the weekend was dedicated to the wedding. Going into the weekend, I wasn't sure how we were going to handle everything. Owen had a good schedule finally and was sleeping through the night amazingly and I had no idea how we could make it work. Luckily everything was easy going…just like our child! I mean he seriously just went with the flow and had no issues at the rehearsal dinner or the wedding itself. I'd step away the day of the wedding to nurse him and everything was easy as can be. I was shocked. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL. I was SO happy to see my best friend so delighted on her special day. I could not be happier for her to marry such a wonderful guy. Owen also got to meet a few of my college friends at the wedding before he zoned out and became too entirely exhausted. I loved bringing him to the wedding and introducing him to everyone. I wasn't sure when we'd get that chance again, so we were lucky to be able to bring him with us. Thank you so much to Court and James for letting us be a part of your most memorable day of your lives. We wish you all the best!!
