ReplyDeleteLive in DFW. Might be in or around the Austin area some time over the summer if it matters.
ReplyDeleteKate's got family in Arizona. I'm not sure if any are still in Phoenix or not. When her dad moved down towards the border, I think some of her siblings ended up down by Tucson.
ReplyDeleteArizona is actually on the list of places I wouldn't mind relocating to. But that's years down the road. I need to get my license and Analytic training before I leave NY.
Chris P. And I’m often up in Arlington visiting my mom and sister.
ReplyDeleteI'll brt.
