After meeting, we drove up to Austin and went to OASIS for dinner.  Oasis is a restaurant overlooking Lake Travis.

It was crazy!!  We got there and there was NO parking.  The restaurant seats 2,500 people and we were there on a holiday weekend…We were nuts!   Once seated, we ordered.  YUMMY food!!

After we ate, we walked outside the restaurant and there was a guy taking pictures of people on the Longhorn.  We  decided to all jump in for the picture.

Greatest Surprise Ever!!! (part one)

Thursday night, Seth and I drove up to Austin Airport to pick up my mom. She was coming to stay for the long weekend.  We were leaving the airport and a stranger came up to me from behind….it was Jilly!!!  I say stranger because she was dressed incognito (big sunglasses, sundress with vest, boots, tons of silver/turquoise  jewelry and a hat).

Friday night we went to Landa Station for Karaoke!  It was so much fun! We started off the night by singing the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song!!!  Too much fun!!!  I sang More Than Words by Extreme, Seth sang Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd and Jill sang Against All Odds(take a look at me now) by Phil Collins.  We had a great time!
