Here in Austin!

I haven't had much time for picture-taking, but here are a few in the new 'hood!
Thanks for the new-home card Lisa!!! It was my first piece of fun mail here!

Kritter easily found his place on the couch again.

Alan's brother, Kyle, brought over his two dogs, Daisy the bulldog and Samson the Frenchie, plus friend dog Max the Maltese:

Alan's brother, Kyle, with all the dogs except Kritter, who was chillin' with my mom on the porch swing.

Alan and the puppies in Galveston when we going to check out Austin houses - don't worry, we were stopped.

I'm all moved in now, thanks largely to my mom, who is hanging out with me while Alan is finishing up this semester in Galveston. There's still lots of boxes, but at least everything is here! And our house...let me just say I LOVE IT!!!! No orange walls, no purple walls, no lime green walls, no mold on the walls...lovely. But it's not just the walls I love:
* I love the walk-in closets in every room
* I love the inside laundry room - never knew what a luxury this was until Galveston, where my washer and dryer were in the detached garage
* I love the garden tub and separate shower
* I love the his and her sinks
* I love the full guest bath
* I love the big, weed-free backyard
* I love the tons of counter space, cabinets and big, big island in the kitchen
* I love the fireplace
* I love that's it's only two years old, in a great location, way cute AND CHEAPER THAN OUR OLD HOUSE!!!

I haven't checked blogs in weeks - I miss everyone! I'll catch up...sometime!

Congrats on the move, guys! Did you have to sell your house in Galveston before moving or were you renting? Austin seems like a really cool city. I hope you enjoy your new home!
