Here's my sign situation. Joe and I went down to Austin, TX at the beginning of the month to see friends and check things out. Scout around, if you will. Why? Because there's a huge tech presence in and around Austin, and we're not ruling a relocation as out of the realm of possibility someday. No plans as of yet. A bit of hopefulness. But I wanted to see what the city and suburbs were all about, so that I could nix the possibility, or perhaps embrace it. More on that later.
Fast forward to this past weekend, which was the long MLK weekend. My Etsy shop had been experiencing a dry spell for a few days. Always frustrating when it happens, and exciting when a new sale finally comes in. The customer who broke my dry spell on Friday night? A woman from Austin, Texas. The weekend proceeded to be full of various family activities (bunk bed assembly, anyone?). On Sunday we took a ride to Pottery Barn Outlet in search of some nice bedding for the boys' new bunk bed. We pulled into the quiet back parking lot, where there were a hundred spaces but just a few cars. No one around us. When we'd finished shopping and returned to our car, guess what was parked next to us? A car with Texas plates.
On the drive home from the outlet, we passed a cluster of signs on the highway from November's elections that shouted, "Re-Elect AUSTIN!"
Not only did these things happen in 3, they really got us thinking. Maybe the universe does have plans for us.
Oh--one final sign. This one was an actual one from our trip to Austin earlier this month that I snapped as Joe was driving thru the hill country. We don't see these types of signs in New York! Haha
