I'm baaaaack...

Totally forgot about this and I didn't think I had my password or anything but it magically let me log in.

Austin is a really rad city. There is so much always going on. A lot of it is music related since it is live music capital. Its a melting pot of people. You have every different type, from your very liberal, unshaven, stinky hippies to your diamond grill, Paul Wall wannabes.

Everything has so much character and life. Theres so much going on that it is a little overwhelming b/c you can only do one thing at a time and there are like 20 things you want to do that day. We are about a 10-15 min drive (little traffic for that time period) from downtown. I've learned the city pretty quick b/c I have somewhat good navigational skills, while Robert is still having a hard time. We haven't gotten to do a lot b/c we are trying to be good and not spend a ton of money since we have new responsibities, but we did manage, however, to go down to 6th Street, which is the party street for all the tourist and UT students. We've done a lot of window shopping at places that you could compare to the loop, but these places are even better.

Our apt is pretty cool. Nothing fancy only one bed/bath but we finally have our furniture and stuff hanging on the walls. No more sleeping on the floor!!! Much thanks to Angie b/c she came up to spend the day with us and buy us things.

Job wise, Robert is a manager with a store called Zumiez or some people know it as Fast Forward. For those of you with no clue its sells skate related things, like clothes, boards, and other accessories. I just took 2 pt jobs until i can find something that i would like to do. Basically I want to land into an awesome job. I am working at Fredricks of Hollywood, which is in the same mall as Robert, and I start Starbucks on Friday. I'm way hyped on Starbucks b/c I love coffee and i'll get a lot of it free, its like 1 min away from the apt, and they have good benefits if you stay with the company long enough. Its one of the top 100 companies to work for so i've been told.

Well I'll go ahead and sum it up. I hope everyone gets back on and writes! xoxo
