One year ago today we got on an airplane and moved to Texas. I can't believe it has been a year. It was a tough time for me emotionally and I remember feeling lost, in every sense of the word. I am so grateful for the wonderful people we have met here, and for making Texas feel like home. I also miss the people in California who made it so hard to leave. A lot can happen in a year. We have survived our first Texas summer (although it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be), our first holidays away from our families, another year of school for Dave, and Audrey's first year of school.
Things we love about Texas:
1. The people, both family and friends
2. The convenience suburbia offers
3. The cost of living
4. How nice everyone is
5. The FOOD
6. More space
7. Parking, parking, parking everywhere!
8. A garage. enough said.
9. Lots of swimming pools
10. Sun tans baby!
Things we miss about San Francisco:
1. The people, both family and friends
2. The wonderful things city life has to offer
3. That I could vacuum my entire apartment without having to switch outlets
4. The FOOD
5. Being able to walk to dinner
6. The steep hills
7. The ocean
8. The beautiful views
9. 65 degree weather in the middle of June
10.65 degree weather in the middle of December
Texas, we love you. San Francisco, we miss you. I am so grateful for these wonderful places we have been able to live and grow.
