Most people know by now that we are moving next month.
I told someone that we were moving "up north." (As a non-native Texan, when I hear "north," I think of all the states to the north of us, but specifically the Northeast United States.)
Well, this person said, "oh, you are moving to Sherman?"
I laughed long and hard on the inside. Sherman is between Dallas, TX and the border of Oklahoma. Technically, it is north of Dallas, but still in Texas.
I replied, "no, we are moving to a different state. Looking at NY, PA, and ME."
I guess everything is a matter of perspective!
