I Moved to Texas! 🫧 📝

Hi everyoneeeee, yall know me by KG! I know yall as people I adore 🥰 I haven’t posted on this app in freaking foreverrr! But at the end of June I moved to Texas from ARKANSAS!! I started a new job down here the next day and all I have been doing is working literally. I’m needing to get myself together and get out of this tiring stage but it’s so hard when I work long hours😩

I’m here to say this, if you have been wanting to move DO IT!! Sometimes is not easy, but use your recourses to the best of their ability’!

... Read moreMoving to a new state is a monumental decision filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension. One of the best parts of moving to Texas is the opportunity to explore vibrant cities, diverse cultures, and a burgeoning job market. Texas is known for its welcoming atmosphere and rich history, making it an appealing destination for many. It's essential to take advantage of local resources and networks when you arrive. Whether it’s connecting with new friends, discovering local hot spots, or finding support groups, engaging with your community can ease the transition. For those contemplating a move, consider the long-term benefits like career advancement and personal growth that often come with such a significant change. Remember, logistics matter—always research living arrangements, such as apartments or houses, to ensure you find a comfortable place that fits your budget. Reflecting on personal connections can also help; it’s natural to miss familiar faces, but embracing new experiences can foster deeper connections with new friends. Texas has plenty to offer—from outdoor activities to culinary delights, the state truly has something for everyone. In your journey, stay positive and proactive, and you’ll find that the challenges of moving can lead to invaluable life lessons and newfound happiness. Don't hesitate—if you're feeling inspired, make that leap and start your new adventure today!

Why I moved to Texas from California
The states with highest employment numbers for engineers are California, Ohio, and Texas. As professional engineers, we moved to California for the adventure and there was a big pay bump in it for us. Even though we went in with eyes wide open, the super high costs ended up driving us back home
