New City!!

It's been so long since I lived in/near a city, I'd forgotten how great it is. I've been going a little overboard since moving to Austin four days ago...

That's right, I live in Austin now. After six months of small Texas towns in the middle of nowhere, I'm THRILLED to be here! My Groupon account has been reactivated and is already my best friend again; I've already used two. I haven't eaten anything I've gotten at the (wonderful, organic, has EVERYTHING on my list) grocery store yet, because I've been too busy being excited every five minutes when I drive by a new restaurant (or dive, or food truck) I want to try; I've eaten out or ordered in for almost every meal. (Groupon has also come in handy for this.) I ordered pizza the other night, from a non-chain place, it was AMAZING. Everywhere on every menu in every eatery in town there are multiple vegetarian options, so I never have to eat cheese enchiladas three days in a row ever again. Next week I'm taking my boyfriend to a concert of an actual, nationally-known musician. And we don't have to drive 2+ hours to get there, it's more like less than 2 miles away. I've been researching yoga studios (yes, plural, so awesome) to find which one best mirrors my favorite yoga style, setting, etc. It's so great to have choices again, whether in food, exercise, or entertainment. Already loving this place!

Although I do love being in the city, Austin isn't just any city. More to come on why I wanted to move here over other choices, and why Austin is already my favorite city of all the ones I've visited so far. So glad I'm here to stay for a while.
