Anything else want to share? I'm a babbler. I like it. Babbling works for me. Babble*Babble*Babble. Yeah.
I know where you are, I was raised in Pasadena, and my grandparents used to live in Texas City. My husband and I decided to move to the country before we had children so we could raise them here. We love it here, the only thing we don't like is that we have to drive too far to go to Walmart (nearest one is 35 miles away). LOL
