She was a life-long Houston native, but now she's married with 2 young boys. They packed up and moved to Denver, Colorado last year and couldn't be happier. Besides politics, it was so much else, including educational opportunities, job opportunities, weather and environment, and general satisfaction with their lives.

Your daughter and her family will never regret the move, I'm sure of it.
