As this April fool’s day comes up, it has been two years since any life changing events have happened so it is time to take matters into my own hands. With April fool’s day falling on a Sunday, I will have to make my exile official on Monday but such is life… I have been living in Texas and commuting back to my beloved Louisiana almost every weekend to see my family and take care of our home place. With all the preparation to ready the house for sale and the move to Texas once my youngest son graduates high school, I have decided to move my residency to Texas. While Texas pride runs deep and I am proud of the history that Brazoria County has with the birth of Texas, it is not my beloved Louisiana. I could have moved my residency over several years ago and since Texas doesn’t have an income tax there were financial benefits to such a move but it felt like betrayal.
While my job may have made the move to Texas a reality, my heart will always be in Louisiana and once I retire so will my bones!
