What I miss about Texas...

Partly because I think it'll make me feel better (listening to Garth Brooks is making me get all sentimental and sad) and partly because things are so different there than here in Boston and I think all you Bostonians need to know that... here's a list of the things I miss about Texas:

-My family (Mom, Dad, Jen & Marc, and Suzy)
-Driving around FOR THE FUN OF IT and without getting cut off, nearly hitting 1,107 pedestrians/cyclists purely by accident, having to worry about patches of ice or snow, or sitting in traffic for God only knows how long
-Friendly people who may not know each other but still open doors for each other and ask how the other is doing
-The plethora of decent country radio stations
-No cover on any bars or clubs for anyone 21+
-Cowboy hats, cowboy boots, and Wrangler jeans... and the men who wear them
-Central Market, a grocery store that is bigger and better than Whole Foods or Trader Joe's
-Open fields, some of them having livestock roaming around
-Having open plains, desert, forests, and beaches all in one state
-Sprawl - meaning Dallas is not crammed into one tiny area
-Drawl - I might not have one, but it's cute on aforementioned men wearing said hats, boots, and jeans
-LOWER TAXES!!
-Warm weather for 85% of the year
-Apartments that are nice AND cheap
-Good Mexican food... make that good food in general
-Lower gas prices

And I think that's all I have for now.
