Sorry for the vanity post but I am just so excited to announce that my husband accepted a promotion in West Texas and we will be leaving liberal California at the end of August. God answered our prayers! We have been trying to leave for almost a year. My amazing husband leaves in nine days and the kids and I follow in a month. My seven year old asked if in Texas they wear their baseball caps the right way....enough said!
Congrats to you both. You are getting out while the getting is still good.
I would not be surprised in the future, CA enacts an “Exit Tax” to those
leaving CA. Smooth sailing to your more.
One of the wisest moves you will make in your families life good luck.
Yay for you!!!
And FReep-on!!
Best wishes.. You were just a stat here anyway. a dwindling stat. ;-]
Another California Liberal Progre$$ive Movement (moving decent folks ‘out of state’) success story.
God Bless you! My daughter escaped to Texas from California last year and never looked back.
Congratulations. I made the leap 8 years ago and never looked back.. Although we do visit San Diego, hubby’s hometown, from time to time.
Big Bend Country is pretty.
Texas is way different than California.
So when you get here don’t start missing stuff and want to change it here.
He works for Coca-Cola. The oil boom has made skyrocking real estate prices in many areas but he will be making a short commute to a more affordable city.
Great video......made me want to clap at the end!!!!
the theory is that many people will move when able to the kind of area that reflects their values...
then again, because those areas are peaceful and prosperous, the libs love to move there....they can't stand to live in the cesspools they have created...
Congratulations. We left the LIB hellhole of maryland for Utah last year. There is sanity beyond the LIB places. Free at last! Thank God, Free At Last!!! Best of luck to you all.
This is great news! Y’All will be so welcome here! West Texas is hot & pretty dry, but there are some beautiful places not so far away. Great people.
Have a safe & easy move, lilyramone & family.
If I am lucky, I will only be stuck here for a few more months. I plan on going a whole lot farther away than Texas, however. (tag line)
I’m a Texan living in California because this where the fight is.
Wow! Bookmarked for aamazing clean drill!
Thanks for the post :)
Thank You Lord, for blessings without number.

You are absolutely right. It happened to Colorado Springs in the mid-eighties.
I’m envious. We’ve been stuck in the hellhole of SoCal for a couple of years and I’ve been looking for every opportunity to get out and move back to America.
Everyone here tells me how wonderful San Diego is, but what’s so great about $500k stucco crap boxes, five cars in front of every house, paved front yards for more parking, beggars on every corner, same weather every day, exorbitant taxation and regulation, and so many arrogant, rude, childish, and selfish people?
I left Kansas a couple years ago and am now in West Texas as well, in Midland (Bush’s hometown). You heading to Odessa/Midland or Lubbock?
It’s great here except for things growing so fast due to the oil boom that traffic is getting tough (nothing like CA though).
The people are great. We are hoping to move back to the Midwest, either KC or Indianapolis, to get less hot weather and four seasons again.....and a less desert climate.
But, economically, there is NO BETTER place in the nation right now. And coming from CA you probably are used to dry weather anyway. Even if we move, I will have fond memories of here.
Definitely a good move for you guys.
