Happy birthday to us

Tonight I pre-celebrated my latest 30-something/
almost 40th birthday with many of my pals in Austin. Amory, Emily and I realized that we have known each other for over 20 years now.
We all agreed that none of us look 20 years older than when we first met.
That's the great thing about true friends, they don't see your wrinkles or cellulite or sags...

Austin Interlude

Since my arrival last Wednesday, the weather has been picture perfect. I have yet to see a cloud. I am basically in a TexMex frenzy, eating WAY too much to compensate for 12 months without it, so I get in as many walks as I can. Sunday, I took my mom, my dad and his wife June to Town Lake for one such walk.

Cormatin

Today I bought my first house.

The simplicity of that sentence covers up the dazzling firework display that is currently going on inside my brain.
To say that I am thrilled is a sore understatement.
Really, words cannot do this situation justice.
Instead, I'll just share a few photos taken in my village this weekend.
Taken at sunset in the park that runs behind my house.
