Today feels a little nostalgic for me.

Growing up in Austin, Cinco de Mayo wasn’t just something you heard about....it was something you experienced.

I still remember learning these dances at Ridgetop Elementary with one of my best friends at the time. The music, the movement, the dresses....it all stayed with me.

Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Battle of Puebla, a moment of resilience and pride. And over time, especially here in Texas, it has become a celebration of culture, heritage, and community.

What always stood out to me was the beauty of it!! The Jalisco dresses, the tradition, the energy....it’s something you don’t forget.

I feel really grateful that this was part of how I grew up.

I wouldn’t change a thing.

Happy Cinco de Mayo 🤍

Follow along if you’re trying to make sense of Austin.

Some people move to Austin looking for a house.
Some are really looking for a lifestyle.

Lost Creek is one of those neighborhoods that helps people realize Austin isn’t just one place.... it’s many different ways of living.

Minutes to downtown, Eanes ISD, the Lost Creek Greenbelt, Barton Creek access, mature trees, and a sense of community that’s hard to manufacture.

I’ve called Lost Creek home since 2004, raised my family here, and it felt meaningful to share one version of Austin that fits so many people.

Because choosing a home is one thing.
Choosing how you want to live is another.

✨ Choose a version of Austin that fits you.
