Moving and settling in over the last month has been crazy. I've had family/friends over or I've been out of town just about every weekend. The apartment is coming along nicely and it really feels like home.Thanks to K.O. and Brit for the styling assistance. I love my bedroom the most. I also have these amazing shelved closets with doors where I place the kitty boxes so I can hide them when people come over! Hurrah! With my latest cash influx ( hurray bonus!), I'll be buying the couch, curtains, tv, and maybe a rug. Pictures as soon as I finish it.
I hosted a small dinner party at my place. I probably went overboard, and check out my classy office and camper chairs, but playing hostess was just too much fun. Pictures!
New job is nice too. It's not teaching, things are much...simpler. I miss the kids and the craziness...I also might plan lessons in my head during down time. However the people are great and it is fun learning a new skill. Also working 9-5 is AMAZING. The free time has spurred me to start looking for volunteer and leadership opportunities. I'm looking in to tutoring math at a local middle school and maybe mentoring for lego robotics.
Best part of being back in Austin is the feeling of home. I don't feel in transition anymore, I feel like I've arrived. Mostly due to my amazing friends, however this town just suits me. My new neighborhood is perfect, with a Little Deli, plenty of community stores, and a beautiful place to run.
It's good to be back.
