so it's been a while...i've been busy packing up life in dallas, moving to austin, and starting a new job and life in my favorite town. i had wanted to move back for quite a while, so when the right opportunity came up, i jumped at it. i'm so happy i did! it was hard to say goodbye to my friends, family, and job in dallas, but being in austin really takes the sting out of any sadness i felt. i've been in austin for six weeks now and i'm starting to feel settled. just now getting back into a gym routine...which means more elliptical training to come. in the meantime, i've been nesting in my new apt. i'll be posting a tutorial on DIY striped curtains later today. hard hard work but they are so awesome. ::toots own horn::
don't know a better way to wrap up the last six weeks than a bunch of iphone pics. here's to more regular posting!
