what i miss most:

there are a few things. in no particular order...

cafe rio- oh. so. bad. my memory can almost taste it.. but not quite. and it kills me most days. never thought i'd miss it this bad!

fried pickles from lucille's- they were the first, therefore they are the best fried pickles eva. and i'm living in the "south" (sorta)! so this says a lot about lucille's!

lunch dates with the sisters & mum- i just miss our girl time together. so much.

mountains- MOUNTAINS!!! i miss thee so terribly much. they don't believe in mountains here. just hills.. and they're pretty gorgeous, too.. but i miss the smell of higher elevation and the majestic, jagged horizon. {sigh...}

speaking of mountains.. ZIONS- my favorite place on earth. if you haven't visited.. you're missing out on a whole different kind of WOW factor. giant cliffs of red rock. they're just... amazing.

friends- sure, we have a few friends here... but we also have incredible friends back on the western side of the states.

sunday dinner- every sunday we'd gather with the casto family and eat a wonderful meal. the best meal of the week, usually. jake's mum is a wonderful cook.. and his family is fabulous company.

family- this is numero uno on the missing list. why is transportation so costly?? i wish we could visit with our most favorite humans in the world more often. i'm realizing more now than ever just how important family is. i'm so grateful that we have such amazing families.. both in-laws and out-laws alike.. to miss. very blessed indeed.

there are more things, but not a whole lot more. i do love austin and all the many wonders it has to offer. it's greeeen... and full of amazing fooood... you've heard me list them before. i'm sure i'll have a laundry list of things i miss about this place, too, once we leave it one day.

cheers to you!

enjoy your FRIDAY THE 13TH! {we'll be watching nightmare on elm street to celebrate}

from our going away fiesta back in october. taken with disposables!:

So are you from Utah?? I've heard Zion's is amazing and I would love to go there sometime. We drove through once but it was a blizzard so I couldn't see much. I totally understand the missing Sunday dinners thing. Those are the best. We didn't move but we don't have them like we used to and it makes me sad.
