Maren!

My big sister Maren came out to Austin last week to play with me. We had a lot of fun! We did a lot of eating, watching chick flicks, and shopping!!! If you ever come to Austin you MUST go to the outlet mall in San Marcos. It's ridiculously huge. Over 200 stores. We kept thinking we reached the end of the mall to discover tons more stores. We shopped for six hours and barely scratched the surface. Guess that means she has to come back??? There were some awesome deals. So much fun. I didn't take that many pictures and the ones I did take need a little bit of explaination. hahahaha.

She will probably kill me for this, but oh well. So when Maren got here the first night, we went out to dinner and then came home to watch Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (disappointing). Maren took off her shoes, which were Mary Janes to reveal that her feet had totally swollen up! I was dying I was laughing so hard. It was so funny. She had to ice them to get the swelling to go down. We figured it was from travelling?


I should have taken a before picture of this but I didn't think that far ahead. This is my beloved pink beach cruiser that I rode to school in Santa Barbara for 4 years. After that much time on the coast, my poor bike was looking a little sad. The handle bars were seriously rusted, my basket was starting to rust, and it just needed some cleaning up. Cue Maren. We went to the hardware store and bought some paint and while I was at school, Maren made it look like new! It's just so cute.


I love this picture. Maren's favorite holiday is Halloween and Target was full of awesome decorations and costumes. We found this sweet mask in the dollar bins. I don't know why she didn't buy it. It looks amazing. Oh Mer.


Miss you already!
