T.E.X.A.S.

T.E.X.A.S. doesn't really stand for anything. I just like spelling out "Texas." Anyway. I love that my dad's side of the family lives in the Lone Star State. I love that I was born there. Someday I might move back there. Although I'm not a fan of not having a white Christmas. I'm back in Illinois for New Years and it RAINED. What is with the weather in America this year?!

this is my family. we're crazy.

we can also be normal. (missing laura and ryan)

loving life :)

It's always wonderful to see my family. Especially since we hadn't been back down to Texas since before I started college. It's crazy. And now the song is stuck in my head, "The stars at night are big and bright (clap clap clap) deep in the heart of Texas!!!"

Yes. :)
