Deep in the Heart of...

TEXAS!

 

 Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes

 

What is it about Texans and pictures IN the bluebonnets?! I just had to....

 and their pride?  Texans are the proudest people you'll ever meet....

Ohhhhhh TX....

Yes the rumors are true...AFG and I are moving.  To Austin....the OC of Texas.  It will be a bittersweet goodbye as I leave my family and my little beach condo but a fresh start with my love.  NEW job, NEW city (sort of- I grew up in Austin in the late 80's to mid 90's) and NEW apartment together....but (the best part) with OLD friends.  Excited to take this new leap and so so so ready for all the new beginnings that are coming my our way!
