Have I failed to mention we're moving?!

Now that school is over and we have a year off, we are ready for a new adventure! We kept hearing about Austin TX. Everything we talked about kept hinting for us to move there. We had never heard anything about it. As we asked around we found out it is the Live Music Capital of the World, lots of young people there, and lots of job opportunities. We decided to visit and fell in LOVE!!!
Austin is so green! The slogan there is "Keep Austin Weird". So much character and so many characters, super artsy, so much to do, tons of amazing restaurants, music everywhere, parks, lakes, outdoor sports, etc. Sandra Bullock, Matthew Mcconaughey, Lance Armstrong, Andy Roddick, Brad Womak and many other celebs live there. It is a small town feel in an awesome city! I love the food trucks everywhere, the people and everything about it! We said "why not?" We are starting our new life there the 1st of August! Everything is falling into place.

  12. Ben was telling Graham you guys are moving there! Fantastic!

    We were this close to choosing Austin over Portland! We loved it there. Cheeper gas. Afordable housing. AMAZING BBQ. and you're right great music scene!

    Too bad they don't have a mortuary school there.

    Good luck with the new adventure!
