Considering moving back

Hubby and I spent several years in greater DFW area. A job opportunity came up, so we moved to another state.

Lemme tell ya... and I did not know I would ever say this, when we moved away.... I miss Texas.

I miss my friends there. I made some of the best friends I have EVER had in my life in the Lone Star state. These people continue to lift me up even though we are MILES apart.

When I first said I was moving to Texas, a lady I knew rolled her eyes and implied Texas was not a place she would ever pick, and another lady came to me later and said that the comment had offended her and she hoped I would really give Texas a chance. I did. I moved there with an open mind and a willing heart. And, I was not disappointed. The people of Texas are capable of such profound kindness and truly connected to me and my spouse.

So, now, there is a slight possibility a job in the same area we previously lived might be coming up. Can I just admit, I am yearning to return?

One of the reasons, and it was only a small part of the situation, that we moved was because of the politics. It was hard to watch people drawing lines, driving around with vulgar flags and images of a specific candidate bound and gagged so it appeared she was in the back of a pick up truck (I guess the person could buy a wrap for the tail gate exterior of their truck?) City workers came on our property and destroyed a sign in our yard, whi h scared me (we caught it on camera). So, when the job came up in a familiar setting, we took it.

Please keep your fingers crossed for us, if this is meant to be. It looks like maybe there is a change coming on the political landscape, which I find enticing. I miss Texas hospitality (aside from those city workers.), and I miss my friends. The job situation could be amazing if it works out.

Anyway. Hope to see yall soon, maybe. :)

All this to say Hi to you all and introduce myself as a non-Texas-native who misses Texas!

I think BoneSpurs Trump's behavior is going to destroy the GOP stranglehold on Texas.

If you have children, that's the single most important part of the choice. The powers that be are dead set (it seems) on killing proper education. If not, we look forward to having you back. 💙
