We still have some work to do before we {or should I say I} would consider us settled. But, slowly we have life blooming in our home. As you can see, we are painting over the red in the “dining room” that we have turned into our den. Once we are done, we will hang [...]

Actually, our house is anything but quite right now. We are still in the throws of unpacking and organizing the new house. But we don’t have Internet until Wednesday. I’m currently writing this from Jonathan’s iPad. Which is harder than I expected, since the app isn’t letting see as I type. {So let’s hope I [...]

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how we found a house, put in an offer and had the offer accepted in less than 48 hours. As with a lot of other life things, housing buying can be tricky. Between finances, paperwork, inspections, schedules, etc., anything can go wrong at any time. So, in an [...]

This past Sunday, we spent the afternoon at Zilker Park enjoying the city’s annual kite festival. This year marked 83 years of Austin kite flying! The festival takes place on the first Sunday in March every year {with some changes made over the years due to weather}. Getting the kite ready for air time Hannah [...]

When we bought our last house, it dawned on us that we had inadvertently gotten into real estate – as that was our third property. It made sense, then, to buy again once we moved to Texas. However, there are a lot more options in Austin and narrowing down what/where we wanted proved to be [...]

If you drive through any major intersection in Austin you will notice one thing: homeless people. Standing along the road with signs, begging for food or money. Rain or shine, they are always there. In fact, one of the best know Austinites is homeless – his name is Leslie. He’s even run for mayor. The [...]

While I originally only planned for my series to be three parts, I thought you’d all like to know how my half marathon went last weekend. In a nut shell it was awesome. Before arriving, I was so incredibly nervous I thought for sure I was going to loose my breakfast. I was snapping at [...]

I cried when I finished my half marathon last April. Well, I suppose I didn’t technically cry, since I was borderline dehydrated. But I did cry out. The last mile of my run was overwhelmingly emotional. A mixture of victory and defeat {I walked mile 11 when I wanted to run the entire race}. A [...]

I’ve lived in the North. I’ve experienced heavy-crazy snow fall. But all you Northern people complaining about last week’s snowpocalypse clearly don’t know real snow fall. Because, if you really knew what real snow fall looked like, then you’d have freaked when you saw this: Instead of freaking out about Chicago’s weather: {photo credit} Because [...]

The other day, Jonathan said “You really tricked me about who you are while we were dating.“ Those words might seem to sting, but they didn’t. Because it’s true. Well, at least what he was referring to: My love/hate relationship with Chinese food. While we were dating, we loved eating at Asian restaurants. One we [...]
