It is hard to believe that six months ago today Jon and I started the drive from North Carolina to Texas. Six months ago my heart broke saying good bye to my family, friends and the state I lived most of my life. Jon had to deal with both a sobbing wife next to him and a not-so-happy cat in the back seat.
Change is stressful. Change is scary. Change is sad. That was me, stressed, scared and sad. I spent most of the first two months settling into the apartment and getting unpacked.. My daily excursions allowed me to learn how to get around town. During the first month or so, I had limited contact with people other than Jon. It was a difficult time and I shed many tears. The last few months sped by and each day gets better than the last.
I made the decision to embrace the changes and accept where I am. I miss North Carolina, my family and friends so much and will consider North Carolina my home for a long time. But, can this NC girl become a true Texan? What exactly is involved in "becoming Texan"? What does someone need to know when moving to Texas?
Join me on my journey to discover the answers to these questions.
