Well, I made some new friends and biked around once the weather cleared up and had some awesome dinners with awesome people and it’s beginning to almost feel like I live here in Austin. Which is good because technically I moved here 5 months ago next week (although I long joked that I was moving…
Even as a Pumpkin Spice Latte lovah let me agree with literally everyone when I lament how on earth is it already October?! However, I could not be more grateful this week that my house finally feels like it is for real (yeah yeah it hasn’t even been a month Ihavehighexpectationsweknowthis). A bunch of house stuff came…
The magic of the mountains is hard to describe, it feels like words can’t do justice. I did not understand it until I lived there, and even then, I don’t know that I fully understood it until I left, and yearned for home. Couple that sense of physical place and grounding with the love I…
“You’ve been doing house stuff for the last two weeks” a friend complained. “I’ve only been home for two weeks.” The past two weeks have indeed been all about my house, but it’s finally coming together! The design inspiration post is coming next week, but suffice it to say that my taste is, as always,…
I mean, it’s perfect. I debated what to do with this kitchen alcove/nook, but making it a coffee bar was definitely the right move. Thanks in no small part to the most amazing, badass, delicious drip coffee maker of ever, that I just got after coveting my facebook girlfriend for life’s for years… It’s the Zojirushi…
A week ago, I was on an airplane flying to LA from Amsterdam. After a weekend of wedding shenanigans, I finally landed back in Austin on Monday at midnight. Tuesday, I closed on my new house. A friend who I am exceptionally grateful for helped be excited for me when I was too tired to…
Tomorrow, I depart for Europe! Today, we discuss the kind of person I am and want to be. Last weekend, I played a volleyball tournament all Saturday where you switched teams every game—it was really fun, and I got to meet a bunch of people. That night, I was exhausted but felt pressure to go…
“Let’s just pretend I move here in September” I said this past weekend, because I haven’t spent much time in Austin since “moving back”. I am grateful, however, for the really awesome friends I have here and the exciting things falling in to place to set me up for a wonderful fall in Austin. But…
This is one of my favorites: As we discussed on Monday, which feels like AGES ago, this has been a freakin’ whirlwind, and while I’d like to be the baby tomato, it doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon. Maybe I can ketchup in Europe?
Is this perhaps the most non-sensical headline I’ve ever written? Maybe. And if so, very fitting. Shhhh don’t tell anyone I haven’t posted a gratitude list since 7/13… here’s why: Travels. Tahoe. Lululemonlinenpants. Framily. SoCal. Last night. House sale. Solo drive. Tucson stop. Family. Engagement. House hunt. Brother. Grateful. Exhausted.
