see ya north austin, im goin' south!
well my weekend was pretty dang productive. i got to play supernanny with my neice and nephew and affirmed the fact that i don't want to be a mother of two anytime soon. it wasn't too bad most of the time - they're quite entertained by videos, toys, and computer games. however by hour 28 when ellie decides to pee on the couch - that's about when im done. so, needless to say, im not dying to do that again.
but on to more exciting news. my new roommates and i found a house, looked at it, decided we wanted it, and got it! all in about 24 hrs. the house is so cute it's ridiculous. first let me set up the neighborhood. the location is fantastic - central south austin...off lamar about 5 streets past barton springs. so, great access to downtown, soco, town lake, church, etc. our house is located on a court/loop which, when you turn onto it, it's seriously like you're in pleasantville meets desperate housewives/wisteria ln. imagine all new cute houses, white picket fences, the whole shebang. the inside of the house is equally great. hardwood floors, new appliances, colorfully painted walls, lots of space. i tried to post some pics but now my piece of a computer doesn't want to cooperate. pics to come later.
so needless to say we're pretty excited. move in is the end of august which is real soon. that means the infamous chore of packing and moving will be here before i know it. it's going to be a little different living farther south because im not familiar with it at all. however im excited that ill get to know my way around downtown and its periphery a bit better. and i think i'll feel like im really living in the "real" part of austin and it's about time i learn this city, right? so that's that. ill go ahead and apologize in advance for the complaining and whining i will probably do as i start to pack and move. i do it so often that you'd think i would be used to it by now. and although that might be true, it doesn't make it any more enjoyable, right?
so stay tuned for the first kinney oaks ct. housewarming party in sept. - you won't wanna miss it!
