Austin

Anton and I got to sneak off to a little business trip to Austin a couple of weeks ago. I was really excited to go since I have a love for Texas (don't know why!). It was so nice of my parents to offer to watch the girls for us, and the girls were so excited to go to their house, so it made it easy to leave. It was such a relaxing and fun trip. The first night we went to a little get together, and then snuck off a little early to grab some dinner and walk around the city. While we were walking down 6th street we found this donut place, and decided to get some to take back to the hotel. Those donuts were worth every minute we had to wait in line - which was about a half hour!! Probably the best donuts I have ever had. The next day while Anton was in meetings, I went on a long walk around the city and then met up with him for lunch. After lunch, I went out to the pool and enjoyed a cold diet coke and read my book. It was a slice of heaven for me!!! That night we went to a nice stake dinner and a show. I couldn't put my finger on why I loved this trip so much, and finally realized that it is because Anton and I never get to travel with just the two of us. We either go with other couples, or have our kids with us, so this was a special treat to just have it be the two of us. Even though it was a business trip, and there were other people there, I didn't have to coordinate with people about what to eat, or what to do and didn't have a schedule. It was SO fun and so relaxing. I can't wait till next year. Another really fun thing that happened that we weren't expecting is Anton won a big award....Agent of the Year!!! I couldn't be more proud of him & am so grateful for how hard he works for us. I love him so much and am so happy for him.
