“Blogger Intro: Rachel”

Hey Everyone:

I have lived in Texas my whole life.  Although I’ve dreamed of living elsewhere, I haven’t.  My friends, my family, my person is in Texas.  Texas has this identity that other states are jealous of.

I was born and raised in Houston.  Not the suburbs, but in Houston, inside the loop (well, maybe a tiny bit outside the loop).  Our high school hangouts were parking garages-no joke!  College took me to Lubbock with the wide, open spaces and dry counties.

I hated Austin when I was in college.  Maybe it was the UT-Tech rivalry or trying to find parking around campus or not having a fake ID for 6^th Street.  It all irritated me, and I never thought I would call this city home.  I visited Austin after college and fell in love with its people, its scenery, and its energy.  I think this is the source of Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth, as people’s bodies age but their hearts don’t.

Talk soon,

Rachel
