The McKenzies: 2012

Mandie and Cara outside of the Blue Goose Cantina in Dallas

We went to Dallas last weekend for a super-fast whirlwind trip for the wedding of two of my best friends from Baylor, Ryan and Tara. We flew out of Atlanta (which is a four-ish hour drive from our house in Statesboro) late on Friday evening, and were graciously hosted by my sister Amber, whom we were very glad to get to see. On Saturday, we got up and had breakfast tacos at a fabulous local joint with Amber, and then were super excited to get to have an impromptu lunch with Cara, another Baylor friend, and her husband Robbie, who we haven't seen since their wedding (which I was in, see post here) at the Blue Goose Cantina (seriously good Mexican food--if you live in Dallas and haven't been there, we highly recommend it!). I miss her so much, so I was so very happy to get to see her and catch up!! Then, we were off to the nuptials of Ryan and Tara. The ceremony was beautiful and we were so blessed to be able to be there for their special day! Ryan was actually a groomsman in our wedding and Tara was one of the very first people that I ever met at Baylor--both of them were in the Golden Wave Band with Colin and I, so it was fun to be able to see their romance blossom into a marriage. Plus, many of the wedding guests were people that we knew from our time at Baylor, so it was like a big reunion and a fun time to catch up with old friends who we don't get to see very often now that we live out of state. We had a blast, but then had to get on a super early flight out of Dallas on Sunday morning so that we could drive back to Statesboro from Atlanta for Colin to get ready for work on Monday. So, sorry any Dallas friends that we didn't get to see this time around--we will hopefully be back to Texas soon and be able to see you then! :)
