Our favorite place to eat Mt. Fuji
At Mt Fuji. Daidy was quite worried about the fire on the table.
Southlands Outdoor Mall
Saturday I woke up at 4:30am to take the 3 older boys to the airport, they had a 7am flight to Utah. I got home about 7:45 and as I walked in B asks if I wanted to go to Austin? We had sort of discussed it but by the looks of my house at that moment I clearly had made little effort to do it. Anyway I paused for a minute, called the airline to see if we could get a flight and before you knew it we were running all over the house gathering our things to make a 11am flight to Austin.
Sending the boys off bright and early. (We love you tunzo and will miss you!)
We were in Austin by 2:00pm and then spent the afternoon with our sweet realtor Teresa (who dropped everything to be with us) looking at more houses both to buy and rent. We were also lucky enough to have Ben's parents come down from Dallas and spend the night too. We spent all day Sunday together doing all kinds of sight seeing and house shopping. By mid afternoon we said our goodbyes and we still had a few hours to kill before we had to go to the airport so we decided to go swimming, heck why not our perspiration had already made us wet!
Some things I re-learned about Austin
1) It is green and beautiful
2) Super nice people
3) It is a bit weird but we love it
4) It is HOT
5) It IS possible to sweat from EVERY pore without an elevated heart rate.
6) It is where WE are suppose to be
7) We are so excited to start our life there
My only regret is I didn't take a picture of Ben's hilarious fro hair. The humidity does some super funny things to his hair.
We got home Sunday night at 1:30am and we were exhausted! Actually still are :)
B's new office at Penn Field, of course in a few weeks the sign will say Fueld Films :) Yippee
Some funny little coffee house next to Ben's new office where a rather eclectic lady was singing about giving your Mom a hug and not watching too much TV or your brain will turn to mush.
Hamburger was having strange behavioral reactions to the heat, the constant sweaty forehead made him a bit loopy.
Plane ride home, leaving Austin
Tuckered right out!!!!!!!!!!!
FYI ---- CONGRATULATIONS to Brady and Nat (our partners) for selling their house in less then 24 hours! We love ya! Austin here we come!

So did you find a house?? When are you officially a Texan?
Love the spur of the moment trip...those are the best.
Wow, busy woman! Hope you found a house, you will have to update us! That Mt Fuji looks so yummy, i love those kind of places!
Sugar precious. That's a great nickname. You are creating some fun memories. The random spontanious trips are the ones with the best memories.
did you find a house? i guess not, because you'd probably specifically said that in the post and had pictures... good luck with the move!!! :)
Sounds like fun, I watched a "House Hunters" episode on HGTV and they were in Austin and I told Jon that we could move there. The market seems awesome, let me know how you like it there, who knows, maybe we will be there in a year :)
speaking of Ben's hair, is he sporting a mullet?
Were you guys able to find anything this time? We're getting excited to have you here! It;s awesome--although hot...you just have to live in the water during the summer....we'll take you out on our jet-ski at the lake when you get here!
