High Five for Friday!

I haven’t been blogging regularly enough so I am going to do my 5 favorites lately! 

Listen. I know some of you are excited for fall and over the heat but let me tell you…I love it. I love all the 100+ days of heat since I got to Austin and I don’t want it to end. I drive everywhere with my windows down, I walk over to the pool in our complex twice a week (sometimes more) I just want to be outside sitting and feeling the sun on my face 

– Making our apartment home…
This is very much a work in progress…and I have found that I do not enjoy spending my time searching for home stuff. I thought I would but nope…I want it to look like home and not have to spend anytime shopping for anything. BUT we are making progress! 

We have one friend here and he has been here 3 months so he is showing us all the fun spots he has discovered and we are going out and exploring new places with him! 

I took a position in administration at a private school in Austin and while it is MUCH different than what I am used to I am loving it. I can’t say a ton about it but the school is 3x bigger than the one I was at the last 5 years and so it is taking some getting used to but everyone has been so kind and helpful. Getting to work is much longer than before. Austin is not a public transit city so I have to drive to work and its about 25 mins from home. One of the ways takes me up and down some gorgeous hills and scenery so I can’t complain too much!

Meetings and coffee is my new life 

Oooh A had no idea how much I read when we moved in together. Over the months before we moved to Austin I started to bring my kindle and books over to his place and sit and read while he did things. But he definitely did not know that I could sit in a comfy spot and read for 5 hours uninterrupted if no one stops me. I got a new Papasan chair and working on making a cute little nook for myself so that I can spend even more hours reading! 

So those are my five on Friday! I am excited to go read all of yours!!
