Diane & Aaron Mitschke

After spending the first 6 years of our marriage studying and exploring in Michigan (Ann Arbor) and Hawaii (Waialua, Oahu), we headed back to our home state, Texas, to start our careers in academia. Hoping to find a "ranchette" within commuting distance to the University of Texas at Arlington, where Diane teaches in the School of Social Work and Aaron in the School of Nursing, we found just what we were looking for in Venus, TX.
Venus is a tiny town about 25 minutes south of UTA, and we absolutely love that we've found this little slice of rural paradise so close to the DFW metroplex. It only takes about 45 minutes to drive to East Dallas, where we volunteer on Fridays at Agape Clinic, a health clinic serving low-income and uninsured immigrants and other working poor families in Dallas.
