(MUM) and (dad) :scared: (and kids)Welcome to Texas, we have been here for a long time now and are South of Houston. Our kids are grown but they went through the school system here and then on to Uni and have both turned out great. Don't know too much about the area you are moving to although my son lived close to Conroe when he was going to Sam Houston University.
Hope you are prepared for the heat...............and the dreaded humidity

Thanks for your replies everbody! great to hear we will not be the only non natives around. We were over in June 2005 so have an idea of the heat and humidity, although I know June is not Houston at it's hottest! We have the schools organised and the house we are having built is framed and has a roof so far.
The kids are a bit scared of starting at their new schools, but I suppose they will soon settle, kids are good like that aren't they?

I'm in Austin (~150 miles away) but have friends in the Spring area. Let me know if you can't find enough information on-line, and I'll ask them for you.

The drivers may give you the odd stare as they pass. :scared: This is due to the fact that you will be the first person they have ever seen actually living in the state of Texas.
Not to worry, they'll soon become accustomed to you and stop their wide-eyed staring as they pass.
