chapter 2

Well, we have officially been moved into our new apartment for a week now. We were so sad to leave Austin. It was such an awesome city and we loved every moment of it. It's where we built our marriage foundation and became us. We know that we were so spoiled with Cameron's plush 40 hour work week when he'd be home everyday by 4:10 and we would have the rest of the evening to have adventures. Even while we were there we knew that we would look back at those days with fondness and wish for them again - so we never took a day for granted. Austin - you were so good to us. I miss you already.

We now live in Dallas - I'm still having a hard time accepting that we live in here. It's so crazy to me. We live just north of downtown. Cameron works in the heart of downtown and his office is only 4 miles away from where we live so he never has to take highway to work which is super nice. He has a nice 10-15 minute commute to work. Now he only has to worry about timing the red lights correctly. Cameron has four brothers and his parents in the area so it's nice that we will have so much family nearby. One thing I am so excited about is being able to see the family and our nieces and nephews so often now which will be so nice for us.

Our first sweet visitors coming to keep me company as I'm learning this new city

Today marks our two year anniversary of living in Austin. So much has happened, and we have grown so much as a couple. Austin has such a special place in our hearts, and we adore everything about this place. We love the area, our ward, and our little apartment we call home. Austin is where we began our married life, and where we built our marriage foundation. We couldn't have been more blessed.

Plain and simple - we love Austin. 

our very first day in Austin, and what we started with

and this is what we have built - a home

i couldn't imagine taking this journey with anybody else.
