We just left the Round Rock Scion dealership with the first part of the paperwork and a new car on order! We haven’t had new vehicles since 2000 when our’s both died at the same time. (And, by the way, two new vehicles at the same time is not as much fun as it sounds.) […]
Back in May, we moved the stuff we needed to live in a 2-2 apartment. Coming from a 3-2.5-2 house, this left a lot behind. A couple of weekends ago, we had a big moving sale to get rid of furniture we couldn’t use and some of the stuff we didn’t need. However, since we […]
Well, our moving sale was a big success. By estimations of “stuff” in the driveway, we got rid of about half of it. We sold the dresser, the coffee/sofa/end tables, the craft desk, the bookcases, and a bunch of smaller things, too. E’s mom came over for a while, and we got to hang out […]
Guess where we’re going this weekend? That’s right, Bryan! We’ll be holding a Moving Sale Saturday 7am-2pm We need to get rid of some furniture we don’t want to keep/store. Hopefully, we’ll sell enough stuff to be able to rent a smaller storage unit or one that isn’t climate controlled. So, stop by Saturday morning […]
Hang Friday night, we headed to Bryan, had dinner with some friends, went out for a drink at a new bar in Northgate[1] and one other drink in a place where we could talk. Then, we headed home and crashed! Tree through Plan D I woke up at 9am and headed outside to start working […]
As of late Thursday night, we have secured a contract on our house! The buyer has a 7-day option period and 15 days to finish securing financing and then we are set to close on August 28th. While we are thrilled, we are also cautious. We both feel a little better, but will be thrilled […]
We (finally!) took another adventure this weekend. E found the town of Kingsland and planned a nice route of driving for us. After a very scenic drive through this edge of Hill Country, we had a GREAT burger at Storm’s in the little lake town of Kingsland. rails to trails near Kingsland LOW Water Next, […]
We love to “adventure” together. Any time we have to go somewhere new, we make a game of it. Thanks to E, we have always taken the odd routes. Thanks to VZ Navigator (a GPS navigation system built into our Verizon phones), we can wander off any beaten path and still find our way. We […]
Well, today is E’s first day of work. I made us a sausage and eggs breakfast so he could eat well for his first day. It was cool this morning, so we had a lovely breakfast on the balcony. He planned for 45 minutes of driving, but it only took ~20. (yay @bennrosales and @LAR […]
Of course, we think Austin is paradise. It’s why we chose to move there. Thanks to Brock for his cheesburger research and his friend Sandy who keeps it online. Thanks, too, to the guys on the radio this morning for talking about it. Since we are back in Bryan for a couple of days, I […]
