AUSTIN, TX
Here are a couple of photos from the 2.5 hour drive from Katy to Austin. It was a nice, pretty drive.

When I arrived in Austin, I went on a date with this guy:

Johnny Austin (32)
We went to the Oasis and had lunch over Lake Travis.

OK - so it wasn't really a blind date or even a date at all. Johnny and I have been friends since we were 12 years old. I even got to meet his girlfriend.

We ate dinner here - cheese steaks with a Texas twist.

I love Austin. It is such a great city - I've come back since the mission a few times now and I always jump at any opportunity to visit. One of the main reasons is that I love to spend time with Carrie Margaret - if you know her, you know what I mean.

I kept thinking that I had seen your date somewhere- weird! I also didn't know your mission was that hard on you- I guess that goes to show what a great friend I am to you. I remember when you sent me that smashed dried frog in an envelope, how can you not have a good time with road kill like that?
Of course we know what you mean. Carrie is the best.
