i disagree with Happ, we lived in Texas for 13 years and visited SoEast Texas, you will find them very different, but I think you will like the valley. the weather, though quite hot in the summer, is not humid like Texas. The one thing that will be similar, neither area is heavily populated and you can see for miles..You will probably find the demographis similar and the culture somwhat the same..
Tmarieb78, you mentioned moving from Fl and hating Lamoore, Fl and SoEast Texas are about as different and Los Angeles and Kalamozoo Mi. I think the OP will just fine.
