[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the posts, but I'm in the same boat - hubs and I moved here after college and stayed 10 years. We now have a toddler and one on the way and we're moving back to TX in the summer.  Yes, you can make fun of Texas and Texans all you want (and I admit that the East Coast has instilled some intellectual snobbery in me as well), but I'm just sick and tired of all the crap we put up with to live here.  Awful commutes, tiny old houses in borderline sh*tty neighborhoods, the constant workaholic attitude, the frenzy, the pompous arrogance of people who believe that working 100 hours per week in an "important" job outranks the joy of a boring life surrounded by kids and dogs and work days that end by 6:00pm and dinners with friends and a good bottle of wine.  And I'm a big law attorney so I make great money and we live better than many do in this area.  But, we're trading it in.  And you know, with the money we will save living in Texas we will be able to save for college and graduate school and travel with our children to expose them to wonderful educational experiences to make up for living in a less cultured state.  And I'll get to see my husband again.  On a daily basis.  Bliss.  [/quote]
