It’s been real, Nashville. Peace out.
The next time you see me here, I’ll be back where I left my heart years ago.
This is what I was bursting with in this post, and what made me smirky in the photo here.
Heading back to live in Austin, my friends. With a huge grin plastered across my face.
I’m sure I’ll be tweeting all along the way there, so if you’re interested in coming along, follow me on Twitter!
I am so, so, so happy.

Am incredibly jealous! Eat some tacos for me, go to chuys and hula hut and write about it so I can live vicariously through you. Austin is a fabulous city and if I ever move back to Texas it is going to be hard to choose between SA where all my friends and family live and Austin which is just such a vibrant fun city.
