See I knew it! You haven't posted new pics since March and they have all gorwn like weeds! LOL -- they look like they are having so much fun. Maybe I SHOULD move to TX. It's been cold & rainy here.

Bill was telling me about how much the houses cost down there... WAAAAY less than what you pay up here, and you get WAAAY more space. I had no idea the cost of living was so much lower in TX than Ohio. I'm going to stay here at least another 4 years to build some equity in my home, but after that, I am seriously considering moving there. LOTS of nursing jobs!

Same here. My gas bill is on a BUDGET, which means I pay $230 every month YEAR ROUND. Last year it was $109 a month, but gas prices went up 30%. So even though I got all new windows and siding, I still saw an increase. But I shouldn't complain. Last year my windows were so old and drafty, I had to keep my thermostat set at 80 to keep warm. Now this past winter I only had to keep it set at 68 and it was toasty. I want to see how much it would cost to get a new furnace and change my heating system over to electric rather than gas. I am half tempted to forget about building equity and just relocate anyway. We'll see.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, Red.

Well I'll tell you what, when I am there, I will have Bill take me around to the area hospitals and check them out. I might even set up some interviews ahead of time. If I can find someone who will pay the kind of money I am making up here (hard to do)... I may consider moving there by next winter. You guys are making it sound so tempting. What's the "best" part of TX to live, that's not too expensive?

Those pictures of Corpus Christi are beautiful! You guys are making it hard to say no. I just don't know if I could leave my Ohio friends.
