Not there. HERE.

This makes me giggle.

On a related noted, one of my "resolutions" (if you will) for the new year is to instigate "Domestiweek." Basically, no eating (or drinking) out for the first week of every month. It's going to be interesting. But dang I'm going to save a wad.

Bear with me while I gush a moment.

It's 10:59pm and I need to be not awake, but here I am thinking about life and how much I LOVE AUSTIN. It's ridiculous to love a place this much because it's really just a city, and yet it's not. It's a jump start to my spirit, and an opportunity to be renewed and a refocusing of who I am and who I want to be.

Moving here was the BEST DECISION EVER, and to those people, known and unknown, who made it happen, I have nothing but the deepest gratitude. Thank you for believing in me and believing in who I could be enough to pave my way.

Cheers, and I'm out. 11:02. Not bad.
