Anyone Out There?

Hello world.

I am revamping the blog! I think it's time I talk more about my life here in Austin. Pictures and thoughts coming soon. First, Thanksgiving in New Orleans!

More to come...

Back in the Saddle

I have been learning HTML at work over the past month, and it makes me miss the blog. I realize that blogger doesn't really require any knowledge whatsoever about HTML, but every so often I would have to awkwardly make some tags or link something. And I suddenly realized that I have done a terrible job of documenting the past year. And it was a wonderful, scary, exciting year! So here I am again to pick up where I left off...

Everyone keeps asking me how "married life" is. Which is sort of a weird question to answer. But you know what? It's awesome. That's how it is. A year ago, I was stressed out over living in the wrong city, and missing my boyfriend, and wondering when things would start changing. And now, I live in a new city, with new friends who constantly visit me, in a new house, with a new job, and a new husband! I see Aneil every day, and once I change my work schedule, we will even carpool. We watch tv together in the evenings, and chat before we go to sleep. We joined the same gym. We can go out on weeknights! Constant hanging out with my best friend is pretty much the best thing that's ever happened to me.

End of gush.

Now that I am dunzo with wedding (I'll post some pics here once I get the official ones), life has not slowed down, but is definitely less hectic. The house is adorable and warm and wonderful. We will slowly be adding color and decor to the walls. We keep having dinner parties and super bowl parties (WHO DAT!) and other events. It is so fun to be able to host and fill the house with people we love.

Rundown of stuff that has happened since previous post:

• Work friends threw me a surprise bridal shower, so it turns out they like me. I also got assigned a real project which I am excited about (El Paso particulate matter, you have met your match!). I really like my job!
• The house looks great, although we are not completely organized. When I watch house shows on tv I sort of understand them now. I need curtains.
• Wedding was wonderful and magical. Glad I married my brown boy.
• The Hyatt Lost Pines was rustic yet luxurious and we loved every minute we were there. I learned archery!
• The Saints won the freaking Super Bowl. Our party was so fun, and everyone was excited!
• Lots of birthday parties, a bachelorette party for Carol in Fredericksburg, friends visiting for the marathon, a heart party for Aneil's dad, so many fun things I get to do now that I am here. I love Austin.

Promise to blog more. I took more photos and remembered things much better when I blogged more. I'm gonna be better.

Things I hate this week: the enormous piles of paper we need to file, the fact that American Idol conflicts with Lost now (Lost will prevail), and the weird weather (80 degrees Sunday, snow on Tuesday, really?). Things I love this week: Neha coining the term "upper east siders" for ourselves because we live in upper east Austin (xoxo indeed), Zumba, and being home for a snow/nap day.

XOXO.
