So, I have decided to start a blog about my every day life here in Texas. I have been enjoying my dear friend, Daniella Summer's blog and she has inspired me to start one of my own. So here goes.....
I think that most of you know that I'm not originally from Texas and neither is Matt. I was born and raised in Sacramento, CA for the first 26 years of my life; Matt was born and raised in Mississippi. Matt and I met in Jackson, MS in December of 2004 and married a year later on December 16, 2005 (so we're almost at three years...amazing!!). We lived in CA together for a year and a half until he had an amazing job opportunity in Texas with Verizon Wireless! The job was available in Schertz, TX and I had no idea where that was, so for those of you who also have no idea it is pretty much in between San Antonio and Austin (a lil' closer to SA, but I like Austin better). We bought a house a few months after we moved and we're very happy here!
It's been almost two years since we've moved and I have seen a pretty good bit of the Lone Star State. I know that I would definitely be at home in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, especially Grapevine or Southlake. Austin is definitely a "little blue oasis in a sea of red" it reminds me of CA a lot, so if I'm ever missing home I like to drive a little bit and hang around there! San Antonio is fine and all, but I kind of feel jipped by living here especially when I go to DFW, Houston or Austin. Those other cities just seem to have way more things to do, places to shop and churches to go to! The day may come when we end up in the DFW Metroplex, but until then visiting from time to time will have to suffice.
I think that's it for now, but there will be more to come. This is kind of fun! I feel like I can ramble and no one will care, so this is like journaling I spose'? Anyway, more to come....stay tuned and stuff!
