It's a Hodnick Life: Celebrating Year Two

Well, Matt and I officially survived two years of marriage WITHOUT killing each other - so we felt we should celebrate! :)

My sister was working for the new Omni Hotel in Dallas so she helped us get a great rate on a room and even hooked it up with some complimentary meals at Fogo de Chao - can't beat anniversary on a budget! (thanks sissy!)

We spent the morning with our favorite little ginger boy - and then we shipped him off to Grams' house for the night.

We checked in and we got an upgrade to a junior suite (again THANKS SISSY!) and we had a sweet little note and piece of cake waiting for us.

We hit the CROWDED balcony pool (apparently this was the place to be in Dallas), and enjoyed some sun and adult beverages.

After sunning, we roamed around the hotel to check things out, and we had a little happy hour on the patio at the Owner's Box sports bar.

Then we got all spiffed up (we do that every now and then), grabbed our dinner certificate and headed off to Fogo de Chao for the ultimate "meat fest" dinner. Those guys don't mess around - when you flip the card to green, they're in your face with 15 types of steak!

We went back to the hotel to "stay up late and enjoy the evening" - which promptly resulted in me falling into a deep sleep and Matt watching the Ranger's game. What can I say? We tried!

After a lovely patio breakfast at the rustic Texas Spice restaurant, we got our wedding rings cleaned and scooped up a few new chairs on clearance at The Great Indoors (woo hoo!) before picking up our little bundle of joy.
