Oh my god I'm a Texan

Yeah. It looks like I am soon to be residing in the great Lone Star state. I will no longer need to remember the Alamo, it will be in my back yard. Bell Helicopter sent me an offer, and I'm going to take it. I guess there are worse things than being a Texan. I could be a Canadian. *shudder*

The good thing about going to Texas is that, especially coming from the point of view of Boston, the cost of living is dirt cheap. I was looking around at apartments online, and they have some apartments that are in these gated communities, have 5-star concierge service, tennis courts, indoor racketball, resort style pools, fitness centers, etc. that are bigger than my sister's apartment in Boston (which lacks these fine amenities) but at about 2/3 the price. And since I'll have a fairly decent salary to live on, I am going to have an absolutely bling-tastic apartment.

Here's to Texas. Home sweet home.
