Hey friends! If you are just joining me today I should let you know that I am revisiting the early times of being in Texas. I moved here almost 4 years ago and now my time here is ending. I thought it would be fun to revisit the past before moving on.

As I mentioned in previous posts Katie and I didn’t have a lot planned out when we arrived in Austin. We kept calm though and things really worked out well for us. We found a place to live on the 2nd or 3rd day if I remember correctly. That first apartment served us well. It had a pool, it was really close to a bus stop, we both had our own bathrooms, and it was in a quiet neighborhood despite being a larger complex. After living there for the first year we decided we were ready to find something a little nicer and with some character.

We ended up finding the perfect place in Hyde Park that we both loved. There was tons a light and lots of room and we still had our own bathrooms. Of course moving in never glamorous so I didn’t really document that but what I really remember about this day was how much fun we had once it was over.

Walker (we hadn’t been dating all that long at this point) and a friend of his helped Katie and I move and then after we got burgers, fries, and milkshakes and ate on a lovely patch of grass enjoying the cool night air. Then we drove around with the windows down and the wind blowing our hair everywhere. It was a blast. We laughed and honestly I really don’t remember how much moving sucked. I only think about this part of the night and laughing in the car and eating that yummy food that was so well deserved.
