For our 2nd anniversary, we went to Cozumel and went on my first ever SCUBA dive.

The first weekend of April and the second weekend we headed to Austin to visit the LBJ Library and saw the state capitol. I had an amazing 29th birthday and we kept on partying in San Antonio for Fiesta with our friends.
I started my list of Blogging Vizslas to keep track of all my other favorite dogs on the blog circuit.
For our big trip of the year, we started in Dubai, where we enjoyed a city tour and an awesome dune dinner. Our first stop in Africa was the beautiful Cape Town, then on a safari , and Johannesburg. We ended our vacation with a few days on Mauritius.

A few busy weekend in July had us at the Phantom of the Opera concert, Aerosmith,
25th Anniversary for my company
August started out with a little road trip to Dallas to see Rangers Stadium and a great baseball game.
I had a seminar in Chicago, so we made it into a long weekend exploring the windy city (August-Boat Tour Part 1 & Part 2, Hancock Tower, Beautiful Bridges & Buildings, White Sox Game, The Former Sears Tower, Lincoln Park Zoo, Wrigley Field, Grant & Millennium Parks). I flew to Louisville & explored the water front as I waited patiently to pick up our new puppy- Ms. Mia! Mia had a very busy first few weeks- including meeting Zoe, her first swim,
We hung out at the pool with our friends, but couldn’t spend the night because we had a brand new puppy at home. It took them a few weeks after their introduction to really settle in, but Mia & Zoe played and swam like best buds.
September
For Labor Day, we had a pool party with friends & the pups were the main attraction with their diving skills. We started working around the house- including new landscaping in the backyard and redecorated our front sitting room.
I watched Haley play volleyball and we celebrated her birthday with a party, games & cake.
After waiting for 6 years, I finally made it to Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, even if it was a bit more rainy & muddy than I’d hoped for.. We followed that shortly with some amazing seats at an incredible U2 concert. We took Mia to the dog park for her first social outing and a quickie introduction to the agility equipment.
H’s college roommate came to Houston for a visit and we went to a very cool & patriotic Texans game. We took some wonderful family portraits before Mia got full grown.
We enjoyed taking our favorite boys again for Halloween.
November
We marked our 1,001 days of marriage by reviewing our 101 List to reminisce about all the fun we’ve had & things we’re still planning to do.
We went camping again with friends at Buescher State Park & ventured over to Bastrop State Park. H cut off all his hair and I couldn’t get enough of it.
Another wonderful Thanksgiving with the moms & family and dinner with my grandparents.
Looks like a fabulous year!
Wishing you, your hubby, your pups and your entire family the best in 2010! <3
