👍 Yes,San Antonio is pretty reasonable and a big military town,that’s why so many military retire here,like my late dad. We came to San Antonio back in the 1950s when my dad was stationed out at KellyAFB at Security Service(military intelligence). We came back here in 1962 after okinawa where my brother was born.My sister was born here in 1964.After stints in Alaska and Maryland,my dad retired here in 1975 after 33years in the military (Airforce).This was always home to us.
Yes,living here is pretty cheap,and property taxes and other things are cheaper in surrounding counties like Guadalupe,Comal,etc.
Schertz in Guadalupe County where i live was voted the no.1 place to live in Texas by Money Magazine,and 40th in the country.
We sit between I-35 on the north and I-10 to the south.
Lots of new houses being built.I work for the district and we are opening two new schools next year,plus there are some more that will open in 2009 or2010.
Got a brand new Walmart,Capital One and Chase banks, new businesses opening up all the time.Just up the road,on I-35 North
is New Braunfels.It’s a nice town founded in the 1840s by german settlers.It’s the home of Schlitterbahn,the water park which has been on the Travel Channel several times.
San Antonio has a nice zoo,and they are restoring the Japanese Sunken Gardens in Breckenridge Park.There are some new natural areas around San Antonio you can visit,like Government Canyon.
Check out the city of San Antonio’s website for more information.
The Botanical garden on Funston is nice,they have various activites there.

DH actually has disabled veteran status, and currently works for the VA. The fact that there is a large VA there is a plus, among the many other things.
OH, more prayers!!!

Hrm… since I am attracted to OLA, should I do some prayers to her, along with St. Thomas More? 😃

Can I quote you in the “What Changes You You Make to the NO?” thread?

sure, go ahead. I’m a very big proponent of encouraging the spread of St. Agnes-Style Latin Novus Ordo High Masses, to all Churches that celebrate the Novus Ordo Missae. This combined with good catechesis via both the Baltimore catechism, the New Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Compendium of the New Catechism, and solid Catholic upbringing not only on instruction in the faith regarding knowledge, but sincere humble and loving prayer, will help a renewal of the church flourish, and restore a fuller and more devout Church with which the Catholic faithful can be re-evangelized. This energetic renewal of Good Catechesis, humble faith, and prayer, the Universality of Latin, the Solemnity of a renewed Latin Liturgy, Gregorian Chant, and simple ease of active participation within the Holy Sacrifice will allow for the conversion of the world unto Christ’s body----His Holy Catholic Church.👍
 
Oh yeah,

OLA also does a Latin Novus Ordo…if I didn’t mention it earlier.

I actually prefer the NO, after attending the TLM a few times. What I like about OLA, though, is the reverence that is obvious in the architecture, the statements on the website, and the liturgy. And I love how the liturgy seems to be the best of the TLM and the NO
