It's an incredible tale of perseverance, one I'm sure one day will be made into a Lifetime movie. Long winter nights in front of the fire place, boiling water to wash the dishes. Good thing for Scott's "loven," a halogen light oven that helped us make egg bakes and toast when we didn't have gas. Thank God for IKEA meatballs and egg noodles, too.
Scott, many of you may know, is a friend of mine from college. He's Troy's younger brother, whom I met when he was just a shaggy haired football player from Lockwood. He is on an adventure away from Missouri for awhile. We're lucky he picked Austin.
He just moved into his new place today, which isn't far from ours. It's our first night completely alone in our new house, so I'm going to try not to spend it all on the computer.
Here are a few photos from the past weeks. I'll keep this post restricted to new house photos and a Julian album, including photos of his new tricycle, will be posted soon.
One last highlight from the week that was: Pork tamales that came with a sauce that tasted enough like chili that I couldn't help but top it with Fritos. Mmmm, tamale Frito pie. Why isn't someone selling this already?
And now, Shiva's guided tour of the house as of last week:

Mmm, I really shouldn't look at your blog while I'm trying to lose weight.
Frito tamale pie – brilliant idea!
The new place looks bright, airy and fabulous!
I could use a faux-icy Austin night right about now. And we've only gotten 88 inches of snow on the mountain so far...
