“I wasn’t born in Texas but I got here as fast as I could”

We have lived in Texas for almost 9 years as a married couple. Hubby has been here longer. Both our babies were born here, so Texas is home! If you know how big Texas is (268,597 Sq Miles), you will quickly guess the fact that we have not seen all of Texas and that is a fact. But to generalize in our own experience of the small part of Texas we know very well, we would have a few things to say about our beautiful state. It is really hooooooot!!! During the summer months, but you come visit in July through August to prove it. There’s definitely no snow on Christmas day if you think you dream of a white Christmas……and yap, that is Texas for ya’. More so, we have quickly realized that it would take God’s miracle to move us out of the lone star. Y’all, we loooooove Texas!!!. But hey, anything is possible :-).
