Hello,
First I'd like to give you some background info on my love affair with Austin, Tx. It began a long time ago when I was in high school in Houston. I attended the High School for Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA) as most of us called it. I majored in Theatre Arts and as a Theatre Arts major we travelled to Ausitn, TX each year to visit one of Austin's Theatre legends, Dr. Ruth Denney. We visited her each year because she once taught at ‘PVA in the Theatre department and our main theatre was named for her. Each year we visited Dr. Denney, she'd give us a "behind the scenes" view of University of Texas' Theatre Arts department. We'd sit next to Bass Concert Hall, eat our sack lunches and dream of attending UT and living in Ausitn. Dr. Ruth Denney was an incredible professor and Thespian.
Soon after graduation I thought about moving to Austin, but I delayed that dream. After college and a short professional career as a Project Engineer in Houston, I got married, changed careers and moved to Austin. I must admit moving here after growing up in Houston was kinda scary, but I loved my husband and he did not want to move back to Houston.
Today, I am sooooo thankful that he didn't want to move back to Houston because I've had a 16 year-long love affair with this great city. In the coming days, weeks, and months...I will show you some of the reasons I think Austin is the best city in Texas. I live here, I work here, I give here and I raise my family here. Austin is a great little quirky haven for cool hip people, techies, musicians, students and just ordinary people like me...maybe I'm considered "cool & hip" too! And as my voicemail always says...it's an AWESOME DAY IN AUSTIN, TX!!!
Your Austin Ambassador!
