So, cutiepie, what do you think about Texas now? when are you going to go check it out for yourself?
IMHO, I was not fond of TX. when I was there, I felt like every woman was checking me out to see if my nailpolish properly matched my lipstick, which of course, should be bright pink! I definitely felt like I was being judged on my appearance constantly. I guess that sounds weird coming from a Californian which has the rep of being image conscious, but it's different in CA because there is so much diversity. You can look however you want, as long as you are really good at your particular look. I also didn't like the weather, but again, I am spoiled from CA.
Some people are VERY nice, which is a big change for me. personally, I like walking down the streets of downtown SF without having to say hello to each of the 502,897 people I see on the sidewalk, but in Texas, they actually do. So, if you are looking for old-fashioned friendliness, that's one place you will find it. (CA is a lot more unfriendly and there are just too many people. For instance, a lot of people have bumper stickers that say, "Welcome to California...now get out!" We're not really that mean, and I love showing new Californians around, but it is hard to see our cities keep growing and wondering...when will it end?!?) Back to Tx...
I wasn't into the whole Texas is big thing, though. I was with some people from Alaska and they were like, "So Texas thinks they're big, huh? Maybe we should cut Alaska in half and make Texas the third largest state instead of the second." Seriously, if big is such a great thing, go to Alaska!
Also, the quality of their environment is very poor (George W....) as I have read in mnay many reports and studies.
BUT, they have good food and you know that is important!
Good luck making your decision!
