Lunch at South Congress Cafe in our new neighborhood!

We went to pick up the keys to our new apartment! How exciting! We got our own place, even just for two months! We decided we wanted to try living near downtown so we can attend events to mingle and network easier. And just to experience the life of being in this area since once we get jobs and settle down, we'll probably be in the suburb, family friend areas. So we found a sublet with two months left in the lease so we won't be tied-down for longer than that in the SoCo area. This is the Melrose of Austin. Very cute shops and restaurants, artsy and eclectic! Time Warner was coming by to set up our internet for us at the apartment so we got there early enough to meet with them, get our internet connected then went to South Congress Cafe to meet our friend, Karen for lunch. She had just gotten back from a long trip to China so we had lots to catch up on. She lives very close to our new apartment which is awesome since we try to hang out with Karen alot. The food was wonderful and we are already in love with our new area and neighborhood. We also have other friends that live near by which we'll be able to see more often as well. Very exciting! Now we'll really feel like we moved to Austin and not just on an extended vacation having our own place! We spent the rest of the day cleaning and scrubbing the new apartment from top to bottom!
