We are heading out in a few days, so I will not be posting for about a week or longer. So this is my farewell to Dallas.
Dear Dallas,
We got off on the wrong foot, you and I. The first time I saw you, your gloomy grey skies, bare trees, and ice storms were more than I could bare. I stayed for four years, but never really felt like I belonged. I’m sorry I didn’t give it my best effort. I regret that. You just don’t have the big mountains, open sky and wide horizon that my heart desires. No outdoor adventures, hiking trails or camping sites that my body and soul craves. Despite my gloomy start, wonderful things did happened here, bad things too. But they have all helped me grow and learn. A small part of me will miss you and your grandness. Now, it is time for me to move on to place that is more me. I am excited.
Love,
Regina
P.S. The kids are all packed up and we’re headin’ WEST! Yeee-Ha!
Good luck on your trip!
Good luck!
Hope you enjoy your new home. Where in Arizona?

Have a safe and happy trip. Glad you get to go to a place that will seem more like home. Looking forward to seing more of your crafty makings, love the pix of the kids in the moving truck!
Buh-bye Dallas, HELLO Arizona!! Love the photo of the kids all packed up & ready to move. Wishing your family the very best.
ps — that risotto looks amazing. :o)
Safe travels!! That was a lovely good bye letter. I did the same thing when I left Florida. It’s funny how places we live tend to get personalities in our minds and in our hearts. I hope where you are headed to will be happy and fulfilling! All the best.
I live in the Dallas burbs and can so relate. I miss the desert and the mountains. I miss the real Mexican food. When I was growing up in Phx, I just wanted to get out of there. Now that I’m much older and have lived elsewhere, I wouldn’t mind going back at all. Funny how life plays out that way.
We moved a year and a half ago to Washington after living in Santa Fe for 4 years. It was never what we wanted it to be and it was time to move on. Your good bye letter sounds quite familiar. Good luck on your new adventure!
Congratulations Regina! Hope you get settled soon and back to your great crafty work!
totally have you in my thoughts and heart! me! hugs, oooohhh, and kisses!
have a good trip!
i personally love dallas… i will never move! lol
