Saying goodbye to San Antonio…

So that’s it.  I’m no longer a San Antonio resident; now I’m a resident of Houston.  I’ll admit, I never really was a big fan of San Antonio until it was time to leave.  I mean, I liked it okay but I don’t think I had much of a connection to the city.  Then, when it was time to go, I realized how much I loved it.  I liked my apartment, I liked how I never hit traffic, I liked how many places there were to go and photograph – and how pretty they were!  I’m not a fan of Houston, never have been… probably for no real reason other than the fact that traffic is miserable.  That and I have no idea what to do around here.  Hopefully I’ll come to like it.  Otherwise it might be time to look into other states – I’m really tired of Texas heat.  San Antonio hit a record high of 103 degrees, which is just plain miserable, especially with the humidity.

Anyway, it was really hard to say goodbye but eventually the last box was packed, the keys were turned in and it was over.  Tomorrow is the last part of the move: we have to unload the uhaul into my storage unit.  That looks to be tricky, as it’s going to be like playing Tetris, trying to get everything to fit.

I’m kind of feeling blank.  I don’t feel at home in my parent’s house, mainly because I didn’t grow up in this house – they moved here when I was in college so I’ve only ever spent 2 or 3 days here at a time. I’m starting to worry about finding a job, but also I’m worrying about all the things I said I would miss.  I already miss my lovely bathtub – it was huge!  That and my closet… my closet in my apartment was 3 times the size as the one I have here.  In fact, my room here is small too… I feel almost claustrophobic.  Sigh.  I think I might just be tired.  Here’s hoping tomorrow goes smoothly.. and quickly!

  • On the plus side you will have new places to photograph. Yeah I don't think I could take the heat, I'd just have to go out at night.
  • True... although there doesn't seem to be many places to photograph around Houston. We'll see though.

    Heat is miserable. I need to move, lol!

    Good on you for making it safely to Houston. I can't imagine it'd be easy to do this. Remember, it's just the first night. Imagine yourself sometime in the future, writing here how you dreaded that night and how everything seemed smaller and out of place.
    Hope you're having a good rest and that tomorrow brings you lots of smiles.
  • :o) Well we'll see what future posts bring!

    Hey, don't be sad. You might like it there as well! I moved from my hometown and felt the same way. Moved from Missouri to California. Spent 2 years in cali. I didn't like it too much. It made me realize how much I liked my home town. Just think of it as a learning experience. You can always move back later! I moved back and sometimes miss California too. A new town isn't always a bad experience. Cheer up and raise hell in the new city :)
  • But California... that's cool! You didn't like California? I'm jealous!

    I'm trying to see the bright side. Maybe I'll have a much more positive post about the things I like in Houston some time soon. Okay maybe not soon but maybe.

    Awww! I'm glad you made it to Houston okay. I think there will be a mourning period, but eventually you will acclimate to Houston, just like you did to San Antonio. I think once you have all your stuff unpacked & put away, you should make yourself a nice, cool drink & relax. You have been in crazy moving mode for the past 2 weeks & that can't be helping your mental & emotional frame of mind. Plus, you have all of your friends on Twitter to help you through this!! *hugs*

    P.S. Hug & kiss your baby girl because she is probably just as freaked out as you & you both can try & calm each other down!
  • Yeah you're right. And I'm glad I have people like you to help me!
  • I'm glad you got here ok!

    I like Houston a lot. I've lived here for six years this summer. I like being so close to the ocean, I like the zoo and the museums, I love the restaurants and coffee shops, the people are pretty cool, lots of thrift stores and record stores, and it's so green and nice here. Anyway, you need to move into *actual* Houston, haha. The suburbs are laaaame.

  • Okay, yes, being close to the ocean is cool. I want to go... do you have any plans to go sometime soon?

    Maybe you'll need to show me around!
