I know exactly how you feel! I moved from WV to be with my hubby in TX. I love TX and I really enjoy having winters that are mild compared to WV but I miss my WV home.

We lived in Nashville, TN about 10 years ago and I loved it. It was perfect that it was close enough that I could visit WV whenever I wanted.

WOW from WV to TX. that must've been a big adjustment. At least when i moved from TN to WV it wasn't to much different. Still lots of mountains and stuff. Did it take you long to adjust?

The first year I was down here I went nuts because the first 60 days were 100 degrees plus. I was not used to the heat at all. One day it had cooled down to 97 degrees and I talked hubby into going to a huge outdoor flea market. He kept telling me it was too hot but I was being stubborn. After walking around for a while I started feeling light headed. One of the vendors stopped us and asked us to come inside. He handed me a bottle of water and told me to sit down because he thought I was going to pass out. I probably would have. I think that has been the biggest transition for me was learning what I could do in what weather. I miss being able to see the seasons change but I like not having really cold winters. It has been in the 30s-40s lately and I think it is freezing cold now.

This past summer it was 105-115 here in WV. It was miserable and the pools were packed.
It has only recently started getting cold which is not normal for this area at all as you know lol. We were wearing shorts in the first part of Dec.

I bet it was hard to get used to the heat. I am glad that vendor pulled you in and made you sit down. How do the dogs handle such heat there?

We make sure Jaxx's long walks are done early morning or late night during the summer. Other than that he only goes out for short walks in the heat. Even if we are going on short walks we still take water with us for Jaxx. I was worried about his paws and I try to keep him off the cement when it is hot but he seems not to mind.
Jaxx's biggest problem with the heat is I don't put clothes on him and he prefers a shirt even when hot
