We're Moving... and I'm not sure how I feel


Our Neighborhood

"Mass hysteria is a terrible force, yet New Yorkers seems always to escape it by some tiny margin: they sit in stalled subways without claustrophobia, they extricate themselves from panic situations by some lucky wisecrack, they meet confusion an congestion with patience and grit - a sort of perpetual muddling through. Every facility is inadequate - the hospitals and schools and playgrounds are overcrowded, the express highways are feverish, the unimproved highways and bridges are bottlenecks; there is not enough air and not enough light, and there is usually either too much heat or too little. But the city makes up for its hazards and its deficiencies by supplying its citizens with massive doses of a supplementary vitamin - the sense of belonging to something unique, cosmopolitan, mighty and unparalleled. " - E.B.White

I hear you're heading to Austin, TX. If so, we'll have to do a dinner sometime when you get settled in. I know there are tons of delicious little shops there. We're living in College Station which is only an hour and a half away. Let me know if you'd like to!

YES! I would love to! I didn't know you guys were so close! I thought we would be moving out all alone but it turns out we have more friends and family out there than we thought.
