So, I live in Houston now! I cant believe it! I was such a die hard Austin Fan, and then all of a sudden, i find myself living in Meyerland, with a job, and a purpose in a new city. Its so strange how change can happen so fast. I think its one of those things where it was meant to happen. Like when things go a certain way and you dont quite know why, you have to say, it probably was supposed to happen that way. So I started my new job on Sept 8th and then Hurricane Ike came to town on the 11th and destroyed downtown. My new job had been put on hold for a week b/c my building the glamourously tall JP morgan Chase building had just about 75% of its windows blown out. So i had a week off to be a refugee and stayed in austin for a few days until we got word that my part of town got power back. It was a bit of an introduction to moving to Houston. It's kind of cool too b/c i've already seen a few people i knew from High School at random places like World Market by the galleria, and Chuy's restaurant on Westheimer (which is the best place to be when you miss Austin, in Houston). But i do have to say i think i could live here for years, for the shopping alone!! I forgot what it was like to have about 6 Targets or other random stores in a 15 mile radius of each other. Its fabulous having so many options. In Austin you would have to go to San Marcos, or Round Rock or Lockhart or Bee Caves, and its no easy search b/c you have to drive for a good 30 min to get there... But in Houston... its seriously easy shopping (minus the galleria, i will always stay away from that place b/c of the parking problems associated with the whole experience)
So, I am happy to be here. I have a fun apartment that doesnt have much furniture in it, but its a start and I'm glad to be here with Marc too, finally!! I'd say two years of long distance earns us the right to live accors the hall from each other. Its just fabulous to see the person you love every day, during the week and into the weekend without driving 5 hours to get to them. Thats all for now, when something else fabulous happens, i'll let you in on it! xoxo
