Austin Adventure

We started out journey to Texas early thursday morning and drove 17 hours (I wanted to die!) to Clovis New Mexico, never heard of it? That's because you don't ever want to go there. We had Eric driving the U-haul, which was funny sight to see, his chair was straight up and down, he had no leg room, no air conditioner, no CD player, no powered windows, but he was a trouper! He towed the new car while I followed behind in the truck. Friday we finished the drive in about 12 hours or so, sadly the U-haul tends to max out at 65 so this drive took a bit longer then planned.... But we finally made it!

Saturday we got moved into our new apartment! The ward came to help us unload and a couple even brought us over some lunch, so nice! We spent most of the weekend just unpacking and catching up on some much needed rest!

This is our couch/dining room table. We still don't have chairs or anything so picnic style it is!

Now that we've been here 2 weeks we have had some time to go explore our new home, right off the bat I must say that Austin has the most delicious food! They have these food trucks that are literally trailer parks that serve gourmet food! You can go and get everything from an appetizer, a main dish, and dessert within one parking lot.

We have our friend Joel Hendrix staying with us, he is making the move out here with his cute family and is staying with us until he gets settled in! He has been to Austin before so we have our own personal tour guide with us! He introduced us to some amazing food spots, first off was Home Slice Pizza, we bought our pie and sat outside to eat it! It's the middle of October and it's perfect weather to be outside, a definite perk to being out of Utah haha After delicious pizza we walked about Congress St . for a while taking in the atmosphere and views. We next went to the MOST DELICIOUS place ever! This is going to be a staple for us I think, it's a little place called Gordough's. They have gourmet doughnuts that taste like heaven! We finished the night off with a drive through the city and a beautiful view of the city lights.

We are truly falling in LOVE with this city! I will probably be posting lots more food pictures in the future because words can not describe the goodness so just be prepared, who knows your mouth may start watering so much that you end up coming down to visit! ;)
