Hey – I’ve been totally out of touch and here you go and move to freeeekin’ Houston. Wow. Now you’re only one state away, but still sooo many miles. Texas IS a freakishly large state. So I second Kristen’s idea that you come visit Oooooklahoma and see us!

Anyway. Hope the children-as-ambassadors idea works. I think that’s a pretty good idea.

Take care, hon. I’ll stop by more often…

I will so be there, I’m coming right from work. I’m psyched that it’s downtown.

I’m sorry nobody’s shown up to welcome you. Wondering what part of town you live in, I’ll whip up some brownies and head over with a six pack of Shiner if it’ll cheer you up. :)

@Mr Lady, Yeah, it is way far. Like I’m gonna be feelin’ the pain way far come March when I have to drive my kid there for a stinkin’ swim meet. Texas is a big freakin’ state. My first year here, I had to drive him from DFW to Corpus for a swim meet. I remember calling “home” (CA) and saying to my sister, “Help me! I’ve been driving for NINE HOURS and I’m STILL in the state of Texas!”

So. Your neighbors either suck or are waiting for you to make the first move. Time to break out all the bikes, scooters, skate boards, rip sticks, etc. and send your kids outside. Kids are the best ambassadors. ‘Nother hokey idea, but it worked for me: I had little business cards printed up (vistaprint.com does 500 for free) w/ all our names, phones & emails. The kids brought a handful to school and anytime there was someone remotely interesting in a “play date” kinda way, I knew no digits would be lost in translation.
