Lone Star State of Mind


Well, ya'll, we found out where our next pcs (permanent change of station) will be.........Lackland AFB, Texas. Lackland is right by San Antonio and was #1 on our list of places to go (for the job). Needless to say, we're excited...and nervous...and sad all at the same time. Excited and nervous because it will be new, but we are ready for a change. Change is always a little scary though! Sad because we really won't be anywhere near any family and we'll be moving away from a couple really good friends. I'll miss them all like crazy!!! *sniff, sniff* Not sure exactly when we'll be going, but late spring is a good estimate.

I haven't really done any research on the area yet but some things I do know about our new "home" is:

  • we'll most likely buy a house
  • has a much talked about Riverwalk
  • warm weather all year round (although probably miserable in the summer?)
  • The Alamo
  • a family we've met and hung out with a lot here lives there and will be moving back around the same time as us!
  • we do have some friends in Texas (an 8 hr drive away) but we'll surely visit them several times :)
  • short drive to Corpus Christi
  • very short drive to Schlitterbahn Waterpark in New Braunfels!

Anyway, so those are some of the things I know about the area and look forward to. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot more research on it after the holidays. If anyone knows of some fun places or things to do around there let me know!

Can I get a yee-haw?!

It's not that country...lol. But i'll give you a Yee-Haw! Also, Housing in Texas is super cheap!!! Well, compared to Ohio or really anything in the East! My husband and I would love to go to Texas...visit or whatever. They have the BEST BBQ's!!! That's what we do...go to BBQ's and love it. So, you'll have to let me know if it's as good as people say it is.

So, yeah. In San Antonio they have a Six Flags amusement park and SEA WORLD!!!! :) Honestly, I thought the Alamo was lame. But, there's a lot to do there. The riverwalk is cool!
