Visit the USA By Way of Texas

There is so much in the American news media about tension on the Texas-Mexico border.  Since my family currently resides in the state of Texas this post will share a contrasting view.  My husband and I have decided twice to relocate to Texas.  The first time we moved we lived in Houston for a year.  I loved the city but I hated the flooding.  The second time we moved we lived in El Paso. That’s a great place to live as far as the cost of living is concerned. But there were problems with gangs in the high schools so we made a decision to relocate to the state’s capital:  Austin, Texas.  It was the best decision we ever made.  Moved to Austin in 1998 and have no plans of ever leaving.   The state’s history is interesting.  Texas has had 6 flags flying over it.  At one time it was its own country. But now the Texas state flag and the USA flag wave together.

  1. Ah the Lone Star state! Always fun, i have many friends in the great state of Texas. I’ve been many times and love the BBQ!

    (Cowboys football not so much).

    The reality of bad news isn’t just the border. But sad that Texas shoulders a huge border.

    • I love Florida, where I was born and raised. A part of me felt a little bit guilty for leaving my home when I first relocated. But when my kids started studying Texas history I had to laugh at myself. Feel guilty for what? A lot of famous Texans moved to this state from Florida. LOL.
