It's Raining, It's Pouring, The Old Man Is Snoring...

So I really, really don’t want to sound like I’m complaining BUT…

It’s SO grey and dreary here today. Let me be clear, I much prefer the rain to snow, and the increase in temperature is MUCH appreciated (I didn’t have to turn on the heat in my car this morning on the way to work!) but wow, am I already ready for spring.

Luckily, at the end of March we’re taking a little break from Michigan and heading to Austin, Texas to see my brother Will. We haven’t seen him since our wedding back in June, and it will be great to see where he lives and how he’s “rolling” out there.

We’re flying out on March 26, and meeting our good friend Tim out there, who is flying to Austin from DC. My brother’s 21st birthday is the next day, so the primary focus of the trip is to show him a good time and celebrate his birthday with him now that he’s “legal.”

Not only am I SO looking forward to seeing my brother and Tim, but I can’t wait to get away to someplace SUNNY. Weather.com is showing temps between 64 and 79 degrees in Austin in the next ten days – so if it keeps that up I’ll be more than a happy camper! We’re planning on visiting San Antonio and the Alamo while we’re there… and I think it’s going to be such a fun trip.

I plan on blogging every day that I am there, of course, and posting pictures. Stay tuned!

Oh Joanne...how I find we have more and more in common!! My brother just moved to Austin, TX the end of December. My parents are taking a trip out there in April and I'm thinking about tagging along if we can find someone to look after our animals here. Hope you have a great time there. Have safe travels :):)
