Amanda, 
I was born and raised in Dallas. I lived there for 20 years before leaving for school-which was in Galveston ( ick 

 ). My entire family is still in Dallas, as is my husband's family ( he's from Arlington). 
I saw that you said you went to TX State ( I remember when it was SWT!). My parents own a house in Wimberely, and I miss it so much!!
