I've always had a soft spot for the Lone Star state after spending my first year of college in Fort Worth. Also, I have an unexplainable attraction to men from Texas and I really like margaritas. If those aren't good enough reasons to pick up my life and plunk it down in Austin, I don't know what are.
I'm heading South (XSW) and bidding farewell to rats, douche bags, and a posse of amazing friends later this summer. I'm equal parts thrilled and terrified. Convincing my friends this was the correct decision was easy, for the most part. Austin is well-loved by most intelligent Americans and my clear penchant for all things Texas made my decision to move no surprise to most. There are a few stragglers that still need convincing however so here's a list of reasons why Austin is the best place ever.
1. Music.
2. More music.
3. Music everywhere, even in the airport.
4. Handsome, tall, polite men with accents.
5. Real estate is heaps cheaper in Austin than in DC.
6. My name will likely be changed to something like "Darlin'" or "Sugar."
7. Tex-mex pretty much is the best thing ever.
8. Warm weather and proper thunder storms.
9. There is a lake upon which i may be invited to float.
10. Did i mention handsome, charming men playing music?
Of course, there are other things like my job and my ever-growing aversion to life in DC (i.e. crappy apartment, horrible dating pool, etc.) that contributed to my decision. More on that later, i'm sure. Now all I need is a pair of boots (and NOT the Fluevog variety). Wish me luck!
