George and I have been so blessed to have the most amazing friends and family. When we announced we were moving to Texas in 3 short months they were beyond supportive and rallied behind us offering love, support and going away parties. Summer in Chicago is the best (and really only) time to barbecue so that’s what everyone did. I opted for a more girly dress for the first.
George’s cousin smoked meat and made us a South of the Border themed dinner with some of our close friends. There were chicken and beef tacos, chips and dips and margaritas. All home made! They always go over the top cooking and it is always beyond delicious. If you are looking to go the fiesta route here are some of my favorite must haves.
Next Katie threw us the perfect Texas Bound party. She was beyond detail oriented and by far my favorite was the cake. She and her friend Ashely spent the entire night before sculpting it to perfection. We went red, white and blue and everyone showed up in their denim and Texas patterns. She will blow you away with the details in her Texas Bound post, but here are a few items to make your own Texas themed event!
