spontaneous trip and adoption

Last Thursday, Judson came home in the morning from football workout and I was just sitting in our sunroom painting. He said, "Pack an overnight bag with a swimsuit and something nice to wear to dinner!" I was all like "Whaaaa!?" Remember my last post where I said I love surprises!? Well, another side note is that I HATE being rushed haha, I know I'm a piece of work. But knowing that will make the fact that Judson said, "There's no rush, just whenever you are ready to leave we will go." SO GREAT.

We got packed up and headed out! The drive was beeaauutifuuull. He took me to Fredricksburg! The MOST adorable town in Texas. It's only an hour from our home so it was super easy and stress free to go there. He also got us a room at the most adorable hotel!! The Inn on Barons Creek - I highly suggest it! I was just so giddy about the whole situation.

So beautiful and peaceful! After walking around, we put on our swimming suits and hit the pool for the whole afternoon!

Spoiled rotten.

After getting some good rays, we cleaned up and headed to a DELICIOUS STEAK AND SHRIMP DINNER. YES, IT WAS SO GOOD IT DESERVES ALL CAPS. 

Our tummies were so full we were basically waddling when we left. We headed to Luckenbach, 15 minutes away, for some live music and livestock.

It was just the best day. We woke up the next morning to FREE breakfast in the lobby and shopped till we dropped downtown. And just in case you were thinking I was really cute while we were shopping in this super cute town in cute stores, here is proof, I wasn't. Also, this is Judson's favorite picture from the trip and his current iPhone background. Boo.

After 24 hours of fun and excitement we spent the next night just simply watching our sprinkler water the front yard. Laughing nonstop at nothing. No make-up on. Ahhh, small town living. I wouldn't trade it for the world. 

           

 

Onto our next spontaneous adventure: 

We were just sitting on our back porch the other night enjoying the twinkly lights and bugs getting zapped by the zapper, when we heard a rustling underneath us. 

MEOWWWWWW. OMG. A CAT. UNDER OUR PORCH. 

We got flash lights and started inspecting between the slats of wood. Only to discover it wasn't a cat in the far back corner under our porch, but a KITTEN. Little tiny baby kitten. We tried to lure her out with lunch meat and baby talk - no luck. So we took it to the next level and got a big skinny stick and started trying to poke/scare her out. It was kind of working but this little thing could barely even walk. Long story short, after an hour and a half of crawling around with sticks, flashlights, and towels - WE CAUGHT HER. She didn't even try to fight us. We brought her into our sunroom to discover that she is super sick. Skin and bones. No strength.

She can barely hold her head up or stand at all. We put her in a box and tried to feed her some milk with a dropper, but honestly we weren't even sure she was going to survive through the night. 

SHE DID! So we took her to the vet to get her checked out. We found out she weighs 1.5 pounds and is in survival mode. He shot her full of fluids and vitamins and even sent some shots home with us to continue to give her. We are still keeping our fingers crossed that she will make it! She's SO sweet. And I mean, why get a healthy kitten that you can play with when you could have a kitten with medical bills, that needs injections, has diarrhea, use latex gloves around her, and force food in her throat with a dropper!? Ha. Our life sometimes. But we really have just fallen in love with her. Anytime I can't find Judson in the house, he's back in the sunroom just watching her. Rylee is still unsure of kitty sister. 

We haven't named her yet in an attempt to not get too attached. Here's to little kitty friend!
