Somehow it has been over a year since my last post here, though it has definitely been quite the whirlwind with just over a year in Austin and nearly a year of business school under my belt! I won't even attempt a massive catch up because there is just too much, but we had a moment last night that really made me realize what a difference a year makes.
Yesterday was Greg's 29th birthday. We celebrated his 28th birthday just 8 days after moving from DC to Austin and we knew almost no one here. I had not started school yet and we were both working at home so it was just the two of us in our little rental guest house in Hyde Park.

There was definitely a strong sense of adventure with the two us starting over in a new place and a new year but it was also a tad lonely. Fast forward to last night, exactly a year later, we were able to muster a group of 8 wonderful friends on a Tuesday night for an impromptu celebration at one of
our favorite bars.

Silly party hats, a surprisingly delicious grocery store cake, tons of candles and terrific draft beers made for a pretty fantastic night, but the best part was looking down the long table at a handful of the amazing people that have come into our lives over the last year. I felt so lucky to have people to sing with and to celebrate this amazing guy of mine. Austin has been very good to us so far.
Happy, happy birthday Greg! I love you so very much and can't wait to see where this next year takes us!
