I love this area of Texas. I could go on and on, but here are my top reasons for loving it here:
1. close to a major airport (I live about 15 minutes from the gates at DFW)
2. mild winters, summers are do-able. After living in Houston for 7 years, I feel that I can handle almost any summer. But winter-wise I am still a wimp. So it's perfect here for me!
3. low cost of living, no income tax. bonus.
4. great shopping; I have everything I need within a 20 minute drive.
5. it's central to much of our family, we are kind of in the middle of it all.
6. close to my husband's roots, so my kids get a taste of where they come from. at least on his side.
7. great great great schools, low teacher-student ratio, gifted programs, parent involvement, etc.
8. lots of members of my church for my kids to grow up with, so they don't feel like the odd one out what with our conservative moral values and all.

oops, looks like i went on and on and on!
