Austin-tatious

We're finally moved into our little bungalow in South Austin. Wow, what a trip! We drove over 1200 miles and sold most of our furniture to come here. Our apartment is a little barren at the moment, but hopefully we'll acquire some good furnishings soon to make this place feel a little more like "home."
On our way down, we visited with my brother, Jonathan, and his wife, Erin in Dallas. She is 21 weeks pregnant and they are expecting their first child, Cara Alice. It's pretty exciting to think about how I'm going to be an uncle! Man, I'm getting old....
I've also been catching up with some old friends that have moved down here and trying to soak up the music scene. I've got to say, from a newcomers point of view, this city is pretty great musically. There are so many venues and bands! And the Tex Mex food is of course great as always. Megan is finally understanding what I meant about the difference between northeast Mexican food and the real thing.
We visited the State Capitol yesterday and it's pretty amazing. I know all Texans are supposed to inherently proud, but I started to see some of the reasons for the over-inflated ego. Here are a few pics from our visit:

Talk soon!

T dog! Glad to hear you're settling in, but we miss you here in the Northeast.

So funny running into the Todds from the past! And then the other day, I bumped into Megan in the bathroom at Barton Springs. I'm so glad you guys are here. We need to have you over soon.
