We have family in the Louisiana area. We had been considering moving out of California prior to his commitment here. When we started visiting LSU frequently, we liked it here, more than just from a visiting standpoint. We stayed for a month with family last year over the summer just to be certain we wanted to be here full time. We searched and explored the area from every aspect, and it’s truly a beautiful place with very kind people.
