Chris and I are in the quaint village of Salado, Texas, which is just 35 minutes north of Austin. Thank goodness, because The 50 plus bingo night only happens a few days a week. If we feel cramped from small town life, we are just a hop and a skip away from big city life. It's been pretty hard for me to adjust to being here. I miss city sounds. Chris deals much better with change. I'm trying to use this experience as a lesson in learning to be content. My husband is loving, our apartment is homy, our church is wonderful, and there's a working bathroom...what more could I ask for?
We moved here to put in an art gallery or art school. Chris has been creating a business plan and weighing the options. We have a trial class scheduled for January with an Austin local artist. But Chris is working on adding a class for this fall. In the mean time, I'm on vacation:) Next month I will officially decide what I want to spend my time with with a longer committment involved...such as grad school, art gallery director, or anthropologie employee! So many options,so much time...I spend my days crafting, traveling, visiting family, and more crafting. I tried to make a pillow the other day with my new "old" sewing machine. "Not too shabby!", I thought to myself, but definitely not perfect.
Well, that's all I got right now. I miss my friends dearly and am beginning to realize that "life" is much different than college. My friends are unreplaceable, but I pray that we will blessed with more.
Til lata my playas!

Hi, I don't know you. I ran into this because I looking for an image of Welcome to Salado and your blog popped up. I hope all goes well with your endeavors.
We don't live far from Salado and love it to visit. More and more young people are moving there. In fact I work with a lady whose husband is/was coaching out there and they live there too.
Hope you like it there.
