Topic: A quick hello from the Texas Hill Country! Yep...we made it!

Hello all!  A quick hello.  We finally made the move out of West Texas to the Hill Country...near Austin.  AngelSon and I are getting along famously and I am so proud of his maturity and efforts lately.  Things aren't ideal (yet)...but we are here and have jobs and a place.  Still looking for the right job and the right place, but at least we are finally here.  It's been a long time coming.  After much drama (yep...my mom).  Our attitudes are so so soo much better and brighter.  We've been blessed and met a lot of great new people.  Sephora...I checked into your topic about your sister above.  Sparky...so sorry about your MIL.  LisaP, your post was timed perfectly for me today..thanks again.  ingy, bellatx, cc, catrin and my pal who calls me Ginger (I am drawing a blank...help me)...I miss you gals.  Christopher Britches...thanks for being you...you are a beacon to me.  We are finally on to new horizons and new days!!  I have finally come to better terms with losing my dad (Mr. Spud) and am healing every day (it has been SEVEN months yesterday...can you believe.  Thanks for listening and i hope y'all will send your good vibes and prayers ...just send 'em a little further south these days!  Blessings and much love.  ~av

 This is the view from our porch! :-)

Wow, I can't believe it's been 7 months since your dad passed. I hope you are doing OK. I know it's hard.

On another note, you are in one of my FAVORITE areas of TX!! So beautiful and with so much culture and heritage!!! The land is pretty too, can't BELIEVE your view, my goodness!!

You aren't very far from the Big D now (not sure how far you were before?)....let me know if you get up into this area, K? I'd love to meet you.

Big hugs!! So happy for you!!!!!!!

AV, I'm so happy to hear from you and glad you are getting settled, your view is lovely there!! 

Wow, 7 mos since Mr Spud passed away!  It's strange, for some reason in the car this am I counted the months since I lost my mother, 9 months, and it seems in a way like yesterday and another way like a lifetime ago that you and I were going through this.

I hope you'll be around here more often, I haven't been as much lately myself so just now saw that you posted.  I'm hoping to go to Austin one of these days (just to eat and hear some great music, lol).  Best wishes  and many blessings to you and your son in your new place!

It's been 9 and one-half months since Mom passed away. I am still adjusting. Sometimes I hear her voice in the next room. (silva)

I'm sorry, silva. I don't know how you and AV feel but for me I think I was numb the first few months. Now ordinary things like the weather or what we're cooking trigger the loss for me, I was so used to talking to my mother every day. I keep expecting her to call or Ialmost pick up the phone to call her.Same with my dad, I miss him more now than ever and it's been over 2 years./Catrin

AngelVine, what part of the hill country did you move to?  We are between Austin and Spicewood, off Hwy. 71.

I've missed you, AV!  I didn't know you were moving.  I'm glad you're in "God's Country," tho.  It is a fabulous place.  I have relatives in Fredericksburg and Pflugerville and Troy (a little north of Temple,) so I know you're in a good place.  Good luck to you in finding your way in your new life.  I'm sure you'll be checking in, so tell us everything.  I miss that country!
