Stay with me here...

Okay, so my plan to post one picture a day fell smack on its face right at the beginning. Such is the nature of things in my world! Stay with me, I'll keep making an effort.

Here is a picture I did not take but thought was an awesome idea. Someday when I have my own lighthouse I'm totally putting this in one of the bedrooms.

A photo a day...

A photo a day keeps the boredom away!

My Texas Adventure Begins

At the beginning of July I moved to Austin, Texas and I have been indulging my inner cowgirl ever since. In the last few weeks I have jumped head first into my own "Texas Immersion Program" and I have enjoyed some uniquely Texan experiences - tubing the river at Don's Fish Camp, perusing the goods at Wimberley's Market Days, sampling the food trucks on South Congress... I've been checking out bands downtown, discovering the heavenly culinary concoction known as queso, and two-steppin' at The Broken Spoke.

I've decided that queso needs to be it's own food group, there is no such thing as bad music in Austin, and my two-steppin' needs a little work. ;)

Here are some photos from my explorations around Austin and the Hill Country.

Downtown Austin from Lady Bird Lake (which all the locals still call Town Lake. FYI.)

Conclusion? This is a great place for me. xo
