Lastly, it’s been a crazy year for me. So many ups, and quite a few downs too. But the highlight of my year has been growing this cozy community of Austin lovers. Every once in a while, I get a comment or email sending me some love and y’all don’t know how much it means to me. So much love back at you all.
