Oh The Places You Will Go! A Family Session on Mercer Street in Dripping Springs

Have you ever turned around twice and had to ask yourself… “How did I get here?!”? That’s sort of how I’ve been feeling lately. How in the world did I end up in Dripping Springs? How did I end up getting to do my dream job? How did I end up getting such a connected and loving family? Somebody pinch me please!

As that guy from Talking Heads said “This is not my beautiful house” … But gosh, y’all. It is my beautiful house, my beautiful family, my beautiful life. Who would have thought a simple left turn on a backroad would lead us to one of the best little towns I’ve ever lived with the best communities I’ve ever experienced. I’ve made friends here whom I feel I’ve known my whole life, and how blessed am I to know them?!

Funny thing is, we built our “dream home” out here in Dripping Springs, just to pack up a few years later to move into a 1950’s house two miles down the road! It was a huge lesson in letting go on my part, and through it all, we were lucky enough to have an amazing Realtor (therapist) along for the ride.

Benee Arndt with Realty Austin took our crazy idea and led us down the path of what we now call “HOME”, and we couldn’t have done it without her. October marked our one year at our new house, and we’ve never looked back. These walls have held our babies, our fights, our make ups and countless pool parties with little legs and arms slapping away at the water’s surface. I count my blessings everyday for this life we created. One thing my husband has taught me over the years is to “never say never”. You may just be saying no to the rest of your BEST LIFE!
