Lubbock, Texas SperlingViews

Lubbock is not so bad. It is a nice place to raise a family. It's not too big, but not too small. The population is right around 200,000. Texas Tech University is here so there is some sports that you could go see. The winters are mild, but the summers get very hot. This year we have had pretty good rainfall though. The main problem I have with Lubbock is that there is not that much to do. There's not much culture. I lived in Colorado before. See, in Colorado, the summers aren't so hot, so you can go hiking, biking, camping, pretty much whatever you want to do outdoors. In Lubbock it's just too hot to be outside during the summer. Dallas is too far away to just get away for the weekend. Also, since this is Texas, you would think that everyone is so nice and friendly, but they're not. I'm not sure why. When I went to Santa Barbara for a week of vacation everyone out there was so much nicer than people here. It's hard to make friends when you're an adult woman with a family. Trying to find ideas of somewhere to move with my family. Somewhere with nice weather and things to do outdoors, good schools, and low crime.

Praying that all is still well for & with you. Have you considered returning to CO? You have lived here before, so you know exactly what to expect. There have been some rather great upgrades & improvements to various parts of CO of late. God bless you and yours no matter where you decide to move to or stay. Keep your chin up and just smile. Don't forget to "bless all their little hearts" for their rudeness. Have a great deal of family in TX & OK. Understand completely what you are talking about. Southern hospitality has nothing to do with "catty" rudeness. Do not let them get the best of you-they do not deserve it. We would love to have you back in CO if it is the right fit for your life at this time. Prayerfully yours, Amanda Elizabeth Crump
