Hello to all you proud Texans, transplants and those who have spent any time here. I myself am not a native Texas, I was born in Virginia but was brought here by my native Texas mother at a very young age, so I like to say I wasn’t born here but got here as fast as I could. Throughout my life I have had the opportunity to move and only once did I leave and that was for a whole three months and then I ran back home to Texas! My daughter however I am very proud to say is a Native Texan born and raised in the Lone Star State!
Today marks the 178th anniversary of the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence, which happened on March 2, 1836. This important document was signed by 59 people, who were settlers in Mexican Texas officially broke from Mexico and created the Republic of Texas.
This is a day that Texans are very proud of it wasn’t until later that Texas became a part of the United States and over the years there has been talk about breaking from the US and becoming our own entity again. If it will ever happen we shall just have to wait to see. Either way I love Texas and don’t want to leave! I have always loved working for a company who give the best historic Segway tours of downtown Austin, Texas, where I can give wonderful information about not only Austin but all of Texas as well!
