Magnolia in Waco!

The next morning us girls headed down to Waco to check out Jo and Chips store Magnolia.

The drive isn't bad at all, and when we arrived it was time for lunch so we stopped at Elite Cafe and split a few entrees.

Then we headed over to Cliff's wood shop (Harp Design Co.) to see everything...and his house that Jo and Chip renovated! I had to take a pic of him for proof that we saw him ;) Promise I'm not a stalker! haha

We had to buy something he made out of wood, so we each got a little wooden basket:

Next adventure: On to Magnolia!

Their store is really cute....but really small! Good thing they are moving to a new and bigger location.

But here are just a few things I bought:

After so much shopping we were exhausted from all the looking, standing and running our cards through the machine, that we needed to treat ourselves so we stopped by Lula Jane's - an amazing little cafe that makes everything fresh daily, in house, and they have a garden next door for all the lunches, we were just there for dessert!

We enjoyed our fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies, brownies and caramel latte brownies!

On our way home it was mandatory that we stop at the Czech bakery for Kolaches!

Sigma Chi Formal 2013

Sigma Chi formal this weekend was a blast!

Friday afternoon Chance, myself, Shelby and JD drove down to New Braunfels. We checked into our hotel (Faust hotel) it's considered haunted, and went to the Gristmill for dinner. It was so good and I love that place!









































Saturday we woke up and floated the river with everyone. It was a tad chilly but we still had such a great time! After floating we went back to the hotel and showered/got ready. After getting all dressed up we went to dinner and had a great night together. 









































Sunday we woke up, ate breakfast, packed our bags and checked out of the hotel. We stopped at the Phoenix Saloon for a burger...it was good!




















On the way home we had to stop in West at the Czech Bakery for lots of goodies!
