Adventures in the Swamplands - Day 5

Dear Louisiana,

It is with deep regret that we write you this letter. Believe us when we say that this isn't how we wanted it to end. We love you but we aren't in love with you. It's not you, it's us...but we're just not feeling it. You're not the state you used to be and we've found another. We just can't take your 90% humidity or the soft water that makes our hair flat. We can't handle the perpetual feeling of being full...and yet still wanting more. We just don't feel like this is where the Lord wants us and we're going back to Texas. I think we're at a point where you love us more than we love you. Don't take this the wrong way, but I think it's time to move on. Texas has stolen our hearts in a way that we could never explain. We miss the food...the traffic in Dallas and San Antonio. We miss hearing "howdy!" everywhere we go. With much joy in our hearts Louisiana, we're saying goodbye. We know you may never love again, but wait until Mardi Gras, you'll find someone new.

A Swamp Reunited,

Laura and Michael
