The Rio Grande Valley

Edward's Texas hometown

Texas hometown

We are counting down to our next visit to Texas, where we will meet our one-month-old baby nephew! It’s going to be fantastic to make great memories together!

Edward’s from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. Over the nearly seven years we’ve been together, we’ve traveled to McAllen and Brownsville more than a handful of times.

If you’ve never been, the temperatures are scorching hot during the summer, but the barbeque, tacos, tamales, and raspas make it more enjoyable.

The area is also famous for exotic birds and citrus orchards. Most importantly, we see family and college friends who still call the Valley home.
