I wasn't born in Texas, but.....you know the rest of the saying. I lived there for 13 years and then moved away to the horrid Pacific NW almost 4 years ago. I'm trying to get back to TX, hopefully this year. I can't wait! I was visiting friends in TX in December and almost had tears in my eyes when I saw the Texas flag. I still have my TX drivers license and my car plates are in my trunk. I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of them! I just need to land a job and I'm there!

I'm a native Texan who's moved back and forth between Texas and California three times. Once I moved to California, I swore I'd never move back to Texas because I love the mountains, the beach, the L.A. culture. But now that California is sinking like the Titanic, I'm fleeing back to Texas for better local government, cheaper cost-of-living, and so my kids can be near family.
Never say never!  |

I feel your pain, but just in an opposite way. I get tears when I see license plates from North Carolina or Tennessee. I hope you get to come back soon, it would make you as happy as moving out would make me. |

1. North Carolina gets hot too, the mountains are somewhat cooler.
2. I'm sure Houston is going to weep when you go...honestly, if you hate it so much...why not leave? |
