i have a friend that did a boston to austin move as well. she's been there for over a year with her boyfriend. when you make the move, make sure you and your gf both get your own social network and branch out to other people. it can be easy to rely on each other to meet people, but i think thats kinda dangerous. i visited my friend after she had been settled there for a year and she doesn't have one girl friend, she only hangs out with her bf and his friends. she appears very dependent, which i never chalked her up to be

I can tell you though - as someone moving from a climate similar to yours - do NOT underestimate how fucking hot it gets down here. I mean...it's unreal. For like 3 months straight you open your door and feel like you just shoved your face in the oven. It gets really, really old really, really fast.

yeah i always wonder which is worse- getting through the brutal northern winters or getting through the brutal southern summers. trying to run in single digit temperatures sucks in the winter but it's usually somewhat manageable. on the otherhand, i once tried to go for a run in august when i was in memphis, the sun wasn't even up yet but the humidity killed me. buckets of sweat in minutes. it wasn't even 7am yet
