Inks Lake or Bust

Bette and I went on a mini-vacation last week in the Texas Hill Country. The main attraction was Inks Lake. The weather was perfect and the water was relaxing. Next time we’ll have to bring some friends and have a big barbecue on the lake.

Nerd Prom!

Last weekend, Bette and I drove up to Austin, Texas to attend the Dudley and Bob Flashback Prom at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Town Lake. This year’s theme was “Revenge of the Nerds,” so we totally got all decked out for the event. The prom featured live music by The Spazmatics, an 80s New Wave retro cover band consisting of four guys acting like total nerds.

We had the greatest time. It was definitely the best prom ever! Bette even got her picture taken with Dale and Charlie from the Morning Show.

Reckless Kelly

Bette, Monty, I all went to John T. Floore’s Country Store in Helotes on Saturday to see one of our favorite bands, Reckless Kelly. Those guys always put on a great show and sure can draw a big crowd. It was a blast!

Mmmm…Steak.

For my birthday, Bette invited a bunch of my friends and family to go out and eat at one of my favorite restaurants, Shorty’s Place, in Falls City, Texas. I had a 30oz sirloin, and it was delicious. Afterward, we met up with some other friends in San Antonio at Hotshots Billiards to watch our friend Andy’s band Mind Frame play. Andy was also celebrating his birthday that day. Here are some photos from the festivities.

Cheese and Irma

This weekend, Bette and I went to a wedding in Eagle Pass, Texas. Her friend from college, Cheese, and his girlfriend, Irma, were getting married. We both had a great time and we took a bunch of photos.

So very, very cold!

Bette and I went to Colorado to visit my brother, Michael, his wife, Kyla, and their daughter, Sydney. We all had a wonderful time hanging out and playing in the snow, and cannot wait to go back. Here are some photos from the trip.

Bette’s Engagement Ring

Bette and I are engaged!

I proposed to her earlier tonight and she said “Yes!.” We’re both really excited! We’re looking to have a wedding about a year from now in December.

Anyway, back to calling our friends and family and letting them know the news!

Erika with Olivia and Bette

Bette’s friend Erika graduated from Texas State University on Friday, and we both went to the ceremony and Erika’s after-party. It was a lot of fun! There was good food and even a karaoke machine. On a related note, it seems that Erika’s family members are not familiar with David Allan Coe’s You Never Even Call Me By My Name.

Monty and Micky

Bette and I went with my roommates Monty and Mike to Leon Springs to see Micky and the Motorcars. As always, Micky and the gang put on a great show. We picked up a CD and Bette had it signed by Micky himself. Plus, I got a picture of them together!
