My husband Jon and I often say that moving to Austin was one of the best decisions that we have ever made. We love exploring the city, hiking, biking and trying out new restaurants. I’m a bit of a fried pickle connoisseur so I’ve been trying to visit every establishment that offers them.
As for an alternate career besides orthodontics, that is tough since I love what I do now. I wonder if I could be a professional reader since you will often find me buried in a book (usually one that doesn’t have to do with orthodontics).
