Week without Reid

You may or may not know but the reason why Reid and I made this move was because he got an INCREDIBLE opportunity to work for a company down here. It's one of those things that kind of just fell into his lap and it is pretty much his dream job (who can say no to somebody they love's dream, right?). Anyway, the second week we were here he had to go be in the field with the guys. Yes, that means that I was going to be left ALL ALONE in a city that I didn't even know. Luckily, I had the dogs and I have an AMAZING best friend that was like GIRL TIME! : )

Reid left early on Monday morning and Elizabeth flew in on Thursday afternoon. Perfect right?? So we did the normal girl things......shopping-laying out by the pool-and more shopping. Reid came home Friday night so Saturday we decided that we HAD to go downtown. Not to 6th Street, because that more of the tourist/college people go, we had to go where the locals went so we went to 5th Street. We found this cool little country bar where we could sit outside right next to the street to people watch. You know that never gets old! : ) All in all I was so glad that Elizabeth could come down. It meant a lot for me to have at least one person I knew here besides the dogs.

Here are a list of places we ate and where we went shopping:

Shopping:
Round Rock Outlets - they are only about 20 minutes away from us.
The Domain - a great outdoor mall that has some awesome shops and eating places


Eating:
Oasis - this is a must do for everyone that comes to visit me, it is at Lake Travis which is about 10 minutes away from our apartment. (Did I mention that Lake Austin and Lake Travis are about 10 minutes away from us in either direction??)

(This is a picture of the outside of the place and the view of Lake Travis)

North - it is an Italian place at the Domain, I wouldn't recommend it but everyone here said that we needed to try it so we did. 

That is week 2 in a nutshell. We are still adjusting to life in an apartment, but I think we are getting there slowly. : )

Love!
