After 3 years, moving outta austin for the beaches of florida this week.

The property taxes are definitely high, but some highlights of texas living:

-we have drive-through liquor stores

-you can carry a shotgun mounted to the back of your car/truck

-you can get a gun permit and purchase a gun in 15 minutes

-Taco Cabana has the best fajitas ever

-Austin is a liberal town with openly gay people. rest of texas, much more conservative and in some parts, they beat up on gays (very very sad).

-health insurance sucks.. one of the worst in the country.. due to insurance lobbyists in texas.



Fight the welcome wagon!
Hmm...actually, we are saving about $350 per month on health insurance. To be fair though, I'm probably not comparing apples to apples.
