The Smoke,Wendy and Sagebrush Smoochy are moving.

When Wendy and I got together about 3 years ago, we were set on moving to Fort Payne Alabama. We decided to stay to be around family. We bought a cabin in the local mountains and then the deaths started. Then all the liens, the debt, the probate......just terrible stuff.

We have decided to leave California. Now I aint gonna bash, this aint the place for it...but lets put it this way: we have a million reasons to leave and not one to stay.

A couple of months ago, I am sitting in the car while Wendy was with a patient and my phone rings. It was good old Sparky!! We talked about drum smokers and his possible trip/relocate to Alabama.

Later that evening, I have the cable guy over and he was a corn fed, gun loving good old boy and after the repairs were made we talked about the state of California and how he was getting out as soon as he could.

So the seed was planted. I talked to Wendy about leaving the state. She went on-line and did some research for a bit. She came up with a state that has a major nursing shortage and a great town to work in.

Where we going:  Waco, Texas


We have never seen the Fixer Upper series before (we don't watch to much TV) but the series has been a great resource for us as well as our Fearless Leader and Texan: Tim!!

We are in escrow (I always keep my fingers crossed during escrow) and we are driving out next weekend to house hunt. The Waco market has exploded and if we don't get in now, we might not be able to afford to later.

We are looking at little bedroom communities outside of Waco about 20-30 minutes away to settle down in.

Yes, The Smoke already has an offset picked out and a source for post oak  8)

Now, I never knew this but Waco area is called "Deep in the Heart of Texas"

So with no further ado........a little moving music please Cowboy:

That is fantastic! CA loss is a huge gain for Texas. I know you will fit right in. Make sure Smoochy brings his cowboy hat

smoke, that will put you 130 miles from Lockhart, the BBQ Capital of Texas and only 100 miles from Franklin's BBQ in Austin and 115 from Salt Lick and 74 from Louis Mueller's in Taylor and I could go on and on. But the best part...it's only 186 miles from Houston. Heck, I drive that far just for lunch.

We have family that moved from CA to TX about 10 years ago. They have ZERO desire to return. Wishing you the best :)
