That is my week thus far. It has been hellacious, surprising, exhausting and wonderful. We will be looking for a place to live in the next couple of weeks as well as a daycare center for Hannah.
While driving to Austin, Suzy and I tuned into NPR to catch up on the election and was surprised at what we heard. Obama won. I had the feeling that he might win, but wasn't sure if it would ACTUALLY happen. But, it did.
I know people are getting totally wet over this... He IS the lesser of the two evils,I guess... I'll leave it at that. Ralph, you had my vote! I'm sorry.
Driving to Austin with Suzy was great. She helped keep me awake with loud music, dancing, laughing, great conversation and great friendship. Love you Suz!
I'm just ecstatic right now with all that has happened in the past couple of days. Jamie and I are thrilled to be moving. We love Austin and all that it has to offer. I'll report more on this later.
I'll miss a lot of you, you know who you are...
To my great husband:
I love you. Thanks for all of the support you've given me in the past couple of weeks with school, trips, the closing of a door and the opening of another, dinners, Hannah and countless other things. You amaze me. Here is to the future, IN AUSTIN!
*MUAH*

Yes, to the future in AUSTIN!
This brings to mind a quote I liked from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Build, therefore, your own world. As fast as you conform your life to the pure idea in your mind, that will unfold its great proportions."
That is what we are doing, building our own world, making decisions necessary to being where we want to be, and around like-minded individuals.
You're moving! Boo!
I'll miss you, but good luck in Austin! I foresee me taking a road trip once you guys get settled....
xoxo
