I'm moving to Texas!

August 12th, 2008 at 06:09 pm

I'm moving to Texas! Baseball boy was traded this morning. He's on a road trip in Nebraska right now, so I gotta pack and move by myself.
He flys to TX in the morning, I am gonna leave in the morning, by car. No idea how long the drive from MN to TX is...but it should be BEAUTIFUL!

So- financially- this is a wash. His new team is in a playoff run, which means extended weeks of pay for him, and possible cash if they win the series- but me driving from MN to TX will be a couple hundred dollars that is not reimbursed since the team is paying to fly him.

But sometimes you cannot put a price on life experience, and this is one of those times. The drive will be stunning, and I have only been to Texas once. Now I get to LIVE THERE! Whoohooo!

    Welcome to the Lone Star State! Which section of Texas will you be living in?

    Welcome to Texas! It's probably a little warmer here than you're used to (100+ degree days for weeks here in Dallas), but it's a great place to live.

    Goodbye on behalf of Minnesota! Smile Luckily this doesn't affect your online friendships, so no whining here. You're moving just in time! Well no, we've got another two or three months of good weather, but we already feel winter breathing down our necks!

    Grand Prarie isn't too far from where I live. Smile This is a good part of Texas - we've been having a good bit of 100 degree days here lately, but supposedly a "cold front" is coming in the next few days that might get us in the low 90's. LOL

    Welcome to Texas! Hopefully the temp won't be back up to 104 by the time you arrive ... it was actually decent today, ONLY getting up in the 90s! Smile

    Enjoy Texas - it took me two days to drive through west to east. Dallas seems to be on the border between west Texas desert and east Texas lush.
