She likes Texas

As I take off tomorrow, I thought I'd list the top 10 things I'll miss about Texas:

1.  Family/Friends/coworkers in Texas (especially T and D's baby in T-minus 3 weeks!)
2.  Trinity's Ablaze in Kenya team
3.  Tex-Mex....let's face it, all food in Texas
4.  Turning on the radio and finding a country station instantly. 
5.  Large houses and large yards - for very little price
6.  Always knowing my way around
7.  Saying "ya'll" and not receiving a strange look
8.  Football season - Texans and Aggie.  Especially knowing that I could be at A&M in 2 hours if I should get a ticket to the game.
9.  Mild winters
10.  TV in English.  I think I've overestimated my ability to go without a TV for 2 years. Mostly for the sports.  Similarly related, English bookstores.

Things I will not miss:
1.  HOT summers
2.  Lack of seasons
3.  Ragweed
4.  Hurricanes (whether they hit or not)
5.  Lack of things to do in Houston
6.  Mosquitoes
7.  Traffic, traffic, traffic

Not sure how you weigh those items, but I'm excited to find out what great things are over there to balance out those I miss.  On a plane in less than 24 hours!
