I can’t wait to leave this stinking rotten flaming communist pestulant cesspool from hell.
I'm from California. I started to see the light around the early 2000s, and it just kept on getting brighter and brighter as the years passed.
By 2004, we'd had another baby, and had grown too large to fit our home sweet house. Wife and I looked for something suitable in our area, and we found it, but at a price tag of just under $700K. I could have pulled the trigger, but my better judgement took over, and I stayed my hand. If I'd taken that plunge, we could have never again had a bad month in business - and that was unrealistic.
After selling the old house, we leased nearby for a year to get our bearings and find a less expensive option, but none were to be had. In time, friends suggested that I at least consider the idea of moving the family and my business to Texas. At their behest, the wife and I came down for a look, and were surprised and delighted at what we found.
Within months, we had bought a new house in the DFW area, and were on our way. The relocation wasn't without its ups and downs, but on balance, it's one of the best choices I ever made in this life.
Considering that the entire population of the earth could fit into Texas with room to spare, I’m surprised that we all haven’t already moved there by now, LOL!
I’m getting there as fast as I can.
Congratulations on business success, escape from California, and granting Texas another guns and bible conservative, and on making wise choices.
I can’t wait to leave.
