Texas Texas Yeehaw!

It's official.  We are moving back to Texas.  David was offered the job in Temple about two weeks ago and he accepted without hesitation.  We are so excited to be heading back, but we'll have a tear (or in my case, a flood) in our eyes.  We'll always treasure our time in Pittsburgh though.

Besides FRIENDS, it's hard to say what we'll miss the most.

My butt won't miss getting bigger but the bakeries in this part of the country are the BEST.

So is the pizza.  Pittsburghers like to argue about who has the best pizza.  Mineo's or Aiello's?  Truth is, they are BOTH awesome.  I slightly prefer Aiello's (their sauce is more savory than sweet).  But you can't go wrong with either one.

We've found the best Thai food here.  And let's not forget the Malaysian food at Sun Penang.

I could go on and on about the food.

Let's talk about the change in seasons.  We'll miss it.  Fall brings cooler weather, more colorful trees, and a family trip to the farm.  Winter brings snow, which coats the hills so we can go sledding---even in our backyard!  Then everyone looks forward to spring and warmer temperatures.  And summer!  Ah, summer.  The weather is mild and you can actually enjoy being outside most every day.  Baseball games, Idlewild, Sandcastle, Kennywood.  The parks here are gorgeous and never get old.

At some point, I'll have to write a better tribute to this city that we've fallen in love with...but for now, I'll just say we'll be in Texas by this weekend to look for a house.  David's start date is tentatively set for March 26.  It's coming quickly....
