Kyle is the most incredible person ever. I love him so much! For Christmas he made a big dream of mine come true. He planned a fun trip to dallas and waco. We loved telling people we were going to waco for a getaway. The reason we went was to go to Magnolia Market. I am in love with Fixer Upper (a show on HGTV). Chip and Jo are my heros. I read their book before our trip and fell in love with them even more. It was so fun to go to the store and get some serious inspiration for our home. And to have a couple nights away with Kyle.
I have to back up and tell how kyle gave me the gift. On Christmas morning we opened all of our gifts and it was a perfect morning. Then kyle told me to go look in the Christmas tree and there was a beautiful bracelet! He always has a surprise up his sleeve so I thought that was it. Then he starts asking me if I think thats it. Then he tells me to go look in the stockings. Inside is an envelope and inside that is a picture of Magnolia Silos. I look up at him totally shocked and he says "we're going". The thoughts running through my head are "that is the cutest thing ever, I can't believe he thought of that. But there is no way I'm going to actually let us go. We can't leave the girls. It will be to expensive". Then he starts telling me he already bought the tickets and talked to my mom about watching the girls. We are going in two weeks!! Ahhh! I was so excited. He got great deals on everything so it ended up being a really inexpensive little getaway.
We left Saturday afternoon and got to fly to Dallas. We stayed in a really nice hotel right downtown. It was SOO cold that night. We bundled up and walked down to a sushi restaurant. It was a little hole in the wall restaurant. The workers were straight off the boat from Japan. It was awesome. Easily some of the best sushi I have ever had!
The next day we had breakfast in bed. Seriously the best ever. Then we went to the Dallas Aquarium. Everything was within walking distance. So that was really nice. The aquarium was so cool. We saw sloths which was awesome. They were super active when we were there. We saw an octopus that was putting on a show! He was moving all over the tank, it was really neat to watch.
Then we just relaxed and watched movies.
But Monday was the real treat! Waco!!!!
We checked out of the hotel and drove down to Waco. It was a fun little road trip together. We got there right after it opened. We walked all over the store. I took a million pictures. And got a ton of ideas. It was so amazing. Everything was so beautiful and so inspiring. I could have bought a million things. I did get some Christmas decorations that were 50% off! Then we went outside and played Corn hole. A lot. We walked through the garden area and the garden store. We went to the bakery and had some amazing grilled cheese sandwiches from a food truck on site. They even took a picture of us and we were featured on their instagram! We're grilled cheese famous.
Then we walked around the store like three more times. I saw something new each time I went through. There were soo many people there. On a Monday. In January. So nuts!
Then we walked over to the Dr. Pepper museum. Who knew Dr. Pepper was invented in Waco Texas. The museum was super lame. But we had a good time.
Then it was back for more cupcakes at the bakery and then drive back to the airport and fly home.
We had so much fun together. I love this husband of mine. He wants to make all my dreams come true. No matter how silly. I love that about him. We have such a good time together. It never gets old!
Thank you for that fantastic memories Kyle. You are the best!
