You Know You Live in Texas When…

I had to find someway to include a picture of the Baby… ;-)

The local Christian radio station has commercials for hair therapy, spa treatments, & weight loss supplements. They have sponsors like the Texas Department of Transportation, the whole City of Grapevine, & “Heaven’s Best Carpet Cleaning.”

Houses don’t come with refrigerators. When people sell their houses they seriously pack up their fridge & take it with them. Seems irrational to me.

It’s also not typical to find a house with gutters. Which is weird because…

It seriously rains here. I mean, rains. Like, lots of water coming out of the sky. Lots. And, for more than 5 minutes at a time. It’s foreign to me.

Gas is $2.82/gallon.

Kids wear just their Halloween costumes Trick-or-Treating. Like, without the winter gear covering it all up. You can actually tell what the kid is trying to be for Halloween.

You can wear a tank top & flip flops in November. I can’t wait to see what happens when it “snows!” :-)Texas Blog4                                                                   November 1st!

And finally, a big reason we moved here: Your new house, which is a bit larger, more updated, & otherwise very similar, cost $85,000 less than your old house in Colorado.
