musings from the "daily guinn" -- trey's private blog.

Only a year ago Julee and I were settling into Austin, Texas. At that point in time, we seemed filled with questions and short of answers. Unpacking boxes and listening to the new Coldplay album, we began trying to make sense of what our new life here would look like.

In no particular order and certainly not exhaustive, I’ll try and list a few favorites from the previous year — Living on UT Campus and the perfect location, Food from LPC, Autonomy in my job with DHFS, Happy Hours with classmates and professors, Playing Kickball with “the whales” and making friends with Luke, News Years at the Schapperts and the friends we’ve made as result, Being invited to research with faculty, Guest lecturing for Daley, Austin Bible Fellowship, Finally taking advantage of Gregory Gym…. the list could go on forever and the real joy is not found in the bulleted points but the moments had and memories made within.
