My City.

We just got back from Austin on Sunday night. Rob was there for work, learning the ropes last week, and I was able to fly in and meet him for the weekend. We are so blessed that Rob works for a solid company that pays for things, like weekend vacations to Austin:).

I love it. I love the artsy, eclectic, yet still Southern vibe. I love that there are dogs at every park, coffee shop, and bar. I love Sno-Cone trailers on every corner, with more cute coffee shops than I can count. I love driving around a new city, window down, sunglasses in place, good music playing, and my favorite person on the other side of the console. I love Tex-Mex, tacos, salsa, and fresh guacamole everywhere! I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner- mmmmm! I love that it is sunny 99% of the time and I can be tan and blonde all year long! I love the lakes and the water all in and around the city. I love the thought of our friends and family coming to visit, and watching them love my new city. The list could go on and on...

As we flew back into Nashville Sunday night, it was a weird feeling that this wasn't going to be "home" anymore. My mom always told me that "home" is where your family is. And I am about to start a new family, which is something I've never done before... It is a strange feeling that I cannot even picture what my life is going to look like in a few short months. (Deep breath in, deep breath out.) But I'm still excited. I look forward to exploring even more. To finding a job that will challenge me and grow me, and introduce me to new prospective friends. I can't wait to find a place to live... My little home to share with my favorite boys in the world- Rob and Jake the dog. These are good things. I am a lucky girl.

Other than that, it's back to life as usual. I'm excited about a quiet weekend in this sweet town. I'm working hard at being present right here, right now, without worrying about things I can't control. Change and growth are the only constants in life:). Bring it on.

Sometimes, when I talk for a long time, explaining something that feels complex, I feel the strong urge to say, " Does that make any sense?". I sorta feel like I should say that right now...
