There\u2019s one question Alex and Paige Drummond get over and over again: How did two ranch girls wind up living in Dallas?<\/p>\n

As it turns out, there was no dramatic family exodus. Life just sort of led them southward! Alex recently explained the whole thing during an Instagram Q&A after a new follower asked why she lives in a different state from Ree and Ladd<\/a>\u2014and whether she\u2019ll ever move back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI get this question a lot!!\u201d Alex wrote in response. \u201cMauricio and I met in college at Texas A&M and both got jobs in Dallas when we graduated. Then we ended up buying a house here and tons of our friends are here now, as well as some of Mauricio\u2019s family!\u201d<\/p>\n

And these days, those roots run pretty deep. Alex and Mauricio are raising Sofia in Dallas, getting ready to welcome their baby boy<\/a>, and surrounded by close friends who are raising little ones right alongside them. Alex has previously said she misses her family and the ranch, but loves the community they\u2019ve built. \u201cAll of our best friends live here and we are all raising babies and it\u2019s just so much fun,\u201d she said last fall.<\/p>\n

Still, she isn\u2019t making any lifelong declarations. \u201cWe are by no means locked into living in Dallas forever but it feels right for right now,\u201d Alex said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see what the future holds \ud83d\ude0c.\u201d<\/p>\n

And apparently that phrase\u2014\u201cfor right now\u201d\u2014runs in the family.<\/p>\n

Paige and her husband, David, also live in Dallas<\/a>, where Paige says they have \u201ca lot of friends\u201d and get the added bonus of being close to Alex, Sofia, and soon, baby boy. But when Paige was asked about eventually returning to Oklahoma<\/a>, she admitted, \u201cI think both of us think Oklahoma will be home in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n

Naturally, Ree immediately wanted a definition of \u201clong run.\u201d (Moms are excellent at follow-up questions.) \u201cLike maybe after we have a few kids,\u201d Paige told her.<\/p>\n

Ree\u2019s response: \u201cAfter you have a few kids? That\u2019s a long time.\u201d \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

For now, both daughters are happy in Texas and make plenty of trips back to the ranch. And Ree has found her own coping mechanism for having Sofia five hours away: browsing Zillow for houses<\/a> directly across the street from Alex.<\/p>\n

Maybe she won\u2019t need one after all. We\u2019ll see what the future holds!<\/p>\n
