Texas

I've never had a bad thing to say about Texas only that it is too far from everyone in my family. Aside from that small hiccup Texas is wonderful. We love the mild winters and the snow that has shocked us almost a dozen times over the last 5 years. The summers are hot and humid but we've always found some sort of water outlet to make it great. I LOVE the spring and the crazy thunderstorms and rain that they bring. I love the wild flowers that pop up all through spring. I love the church going and God fearing people. I love the patriotism. I love that it is super family friendly. I love my book club and regular play dates. I REALLY love that we've been so close to David's family. We have been spoiled and loved by them beyond measure. We've never had to wonder if we could get a babysitter or where we'd be for a holiday dinner. It has been a luxury and blessing I know we will miss. I love that our 3 oldest children will always be "Texans" in my mind. I really do love Texas. I love that we've been surrounded by people in the same boat as life as us. We've watched our husbands go through grad schools and our kids have grown together. I've made some of the best friends I could ever imagine here. Some of which have already moved away and some who will be here for awhile. I've had friends who treat my kids like their very own and would do anything for us. I try to remind myself that life can't stay the same forever and change is good but the memories and friends I've made in Texas will always be some of my very favorites. We'll miss you Texas.
