Things I like about living in Texas

Oh goodness me, did I just admit there are things I like about living in Texas? Here they are in no particular order:


I have an amazing, awesome, rewarding, challenging, and fun job. I enjoy going to work almost every day, and look forward to seeing what my students have in store for me that day.

I have friends who have proven themselves to be amazing, as well. You know who you are.

My kids go to an amazing school, Riojas Elementary. Their teachers worked so hard all year to keep them challenged and happy. Skylar felt loved and cared for every day. She even made perfect attendance, in large part due to the fact that she loved to go see her teacher every day! She had so many opportunities to participate and excel this year. She is looking forward to next year.

Okay, Chris and Krista, the Mexican food IS better. Heck, even the fact that I am able to get Mexican food without driving an hour or more is amazing! Or Indian, couldn't get that anywhere in NY.

I love my church. It is very different from my former church, but different can be good.

I'm sure there's more, but a kid is calling me to play horses.
