Austin Update

Everything in Austin is great. We really like it here so far. We're located in a really convenient area, everything is just about a 10-15 minute drive from us (we're in Northwest Austin). Except downtown, that's about 20-25 minutes, depending on where you're going. There seems to be a lot unique places to go to, which is what Orlando really lacked. There are also a lot of parks everywhere you go and a lot of green belt areas. So it's pretty.

Matt is enjoying his new job too. He likes the game he's working on and really likes the people there. We actually already made some friends! A guy at work Matt became friends with invited us over for drinks on Friday. So we went and had a really good time. Him and his girlfriend just moved here about 4 months ago. And guess what? She's a nanny and watches a baby who's just a month younger than Ripley, so we're gonna hook up for a play date soon. Plus, she already offered to watch Ripley for us to give Matt and I chance to go out....how great is that? And they live just down the street from us too, which is another plus.

So all and all things are good. The only downfall is our house in FL. No one has even looked at it since it's been on the market. So that's a bummer. If it continues to be this slow for the next few months, we'll be forced to rent it out instead. So that's something we're going to consider, but we're gonna give it a few more months before going that route.

Below are some pictures from a picnic we had in the park.
It was a beautiful day!.
