We were really there....




Well, Matt and I have a way of forgetting that we have the camera when it's just the two of us. I only took two pictures, how lame is that? But I'll tell you about our trip anyway. We flew into Austin, TX and stayed at a very scary Days Inn...but the first day we went down to the University of Texas campus so Matt could have his interview with the director of the program. He was super nervous going in (I can always tell how nervous he is by the steps ahead of me he starts walking), but came out ALL smiles! He felt great about the interview, and we're hoping to hear from them by next week. We spent the rest of the afternoon downtown and walking by the river. They have a river that they dammed up on both sides to create a public swimming pool (that's the one pic I took), it is really neat, and open year round because it is so warm there! It was a steady 80 degrees the whole time we were there. Friday night we had dinner with our friends Kenn and Amy, Amy was my college roommate and we had a great time catching up with them and seeing what a great life they've created in Austin. On Saturday we met with a Realtor and looked at a dozen homes in a couple of different communities. All of the homes we looked at were $20,000-$30,000 cheaper than our home here, and the houses were newer and in much better neighborhoods, it was all very exciting! We then had dinner at Chuy's (from the moment I was on the plane people started suggesting Chuy's, I think at least 5 different people said we just HAD to eat there). All in all it was a GREAT trip, we have lots of planning and deciding to do, but if we were to move to Austin Texas, we would be happy campers!
