Texas Bound !

Several people have asked me " Why Texas, Ida ?" Well, it all started back in 2004. I was at work when my coworkers asked " Ida, When are you leaving to take you annual trip to Toronto ?" I replied, " I'm not going this year. " " Your not, then where are you going ?" Out of clear blue, I said " I'm going to Texas. " I didn't know anyone down there, except the pastor and his wife of the Word of Faith Church, but my spirit told me Texas ! I booked my flight and hotel and off I went to San Antonio. I stayed a little less than week, but fell in love with the place, vowing this would one day be my home. Well a few years have passed since then, but my love for Texas and San Antonio have not diminished in any way, but have grown stronger. I sense that the time has come for me to go home ( smile ) to Texas. Everything I do now is focused on wrapping things up here and leaving. As things progress I'll keep everyone informed. Keep me in your prayers ! Yeeha ! For more information about San Antonio check out this website: http://mysa.com/

Good Read

Currently reading: The Big Rich by Bryan Burrough. It's the story of the rise and fall of the Texas oil fortunes. Most of my buddies say they are not surprised considering I want to make Texas my home. :-)
