Dear Texas,
7 years ago, you and I were not friends. I did not want to be here, and yet here we were.
As time went on, I realized that it was not your fault.
Yes, you have annoyingly hot summers, but your winters more than make up for that.
My kids can play outside almost every day, unless it happens to fall on the one icy day of the year. Heck, we have even played in the rain because it was still warm outside.
You are a fun state to live in. Your people are very proud to call you home. Relocated people like me often say, "I was not born here, but I got here as fast as I could."
We have had our swimming pool out on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day! You cannot do that in Iowa!
You are too still too far away from my family and friends back in Iowa for my liking, but I am beginning to forgive you for that.
Thanks for your patience, Texas! I came around as fast as I could!
Love,
MomOf3

inspiring. i am still waiting to feel that way about where i live. i am still in my home state of California, but i may as well be living on Mars this place is soooo different from the other places in CA i have lived and loved.
maybe i will love it here someday.
Dear Indiana, I love fall and late spring, and the parts of summer that don't have 100% humidity attached to them. But, what about the other 9 months of the year? I don't often miss California, but I have heard about Texas, so maybe some sunshine is in order?
