I've lived here for 32 years, longer than I lived in Louisiana, and will never consider myself a Texan.

I’m not in Texas but I haven’t lived in Louisiana for 10+ years. I still consider myself a Louisianan living elsewhere.

A Louisianian who resides in Texas but Texas is home.

All 3 children are Louisiana born but likely identity as Texan with the exception of our son - he has traveled the world and has a fondness for the culture and his legacy
