My PP presentation persuading my boyfriend to move us to Texas as he promised. <3

Why Texas is Awesome.
And why we should move there, other than the
whole promise thing… so ultimately, I guess you
kinda have to. So, „why you won‟t be miserable
in Texas‟ seems a more appropriate title. :]

Other Things to Love
Yes, Texas has canyons.
This one is Palo Duro in Amarillo.

Emili
Because we both know a happy Emili is the best kind. <3

Scuba
 There are actually quite a
few places to Scuba in
Texas, though it may be
different from what you‟re
used to.
 Natural springs showcase the
majority of scuba
opportunities, such as Athens
Scuba Park and Clear
Springs Scuba Park, both
near Dallas.
 If you want traditional
Scuba, head down to South
Padre Island and that area
of the coast.

Horses
 You can pick up an old
hobby!
 Not only can we ride any
damn time we feel like, but
we can ride any damn time
we feel like for free!
 In fact, I‟m sure mom would
love for us to exercise some
horses.
 We can also trail ride to any
state park in the area and
„rough it‟ in the places you
already love.

8. +
Climbing
 To my surprise, and relief, there
is a very active climbing
community in Texas!
 Barton Creek Greenbelt near
Austin, Rogers Park near
Belton/Waco, Enchanted Rock
near Fredericksburg, Bulls
Creek near Austin, and
Reimers Ranch near Austin, just
to name a few.
 ALL in the Hillcountry, which is
central Texas and close to us!
 Don‟t take my word for it? Just
google it. I mean, I had to get
all this info from somewhere :P

9. +
Hiking
 TONS of hiking. And I mean
tons. Nice thing about Texas is
there are lots of wooded and
grassy places to stroll.
 Bastrop State Park near
Bastrop, Enchanted Rock near
Fredericksburg, Barton Creek
Wilderness Park near Austin,
Miller Springs Nature Center
near Belton/Waco, and Cross
Timbers Trail near Dallas.
 Another nice thing about
Texas is the variety of terrain!
Some places are arid while
others lush, some by water
and some thick with trees.

10. +
Weather
 We both dislike the cold; that
much I can easily add. Not a
whole ton of cold in Texas, thank
God. No more expensive coats.
 Mostly, it‟s warm and sunny in
Texas. Humidity is about the same,
maybe a little more so. Perfect,
right? No damn snow!
 With this awesome weather, you
have more time available for your
hobbies! No more waiting out the
awful winter.
 We also have more time outdoors
period, leaving more months for
swimming and other such activities
when it‟s too hot to boulder/hike.

“You may all go to Hell,
and I‟ll go to Texas.”
In the great words of Davy Crockett, who was indeed a real
man. Just check Wikipedia. :P
