Again with the Life of a Semi-Nomad

I hate moving.
But I love Austin, love my job, love our church and want to live closer to all these things. So Lee, Norah and I will be moving into the Arboretum area of Austin (Mo-Pac & Capital of TX Hwy) in June. We have begun selling our worldly possessions on Craig’s List and are slowly packing up. The goal is, of course, to cull out unnecessary items as we go. We have boxes of items that have moved with us since Centenary (Centenary College of Louisiana) and it’s time to say adios to the junk we don’t need. I am very much looking forward to a shorter commute everyday and actually living close enough to hang out with friends. I also look forward to kissing the Cedar Fever inducing forests behind, or at least not living directly beneath their branches anymore.

Cedar fever

Lee and I have learned the hard way the joy of living in the midst of groves of Cedar trees — Cedar fever. Apparently humans and Cedar trees do not live together harmoniously, in fact the Cedars seem to be avenging their fallen comrades (sacrificed on the alter of suburbia) by inflicting red, itchy, water eyes, runny noses and headaches on the rest of us.
