T is for TEXAS!!!!

Of course....T is for Texas, my home!  Ok, so Missouri is my home now, but Texas will always be where I am from.  There is just something about people from Texas. It just about killed me to get rid of my Texas plates and driver's license.  I only had been living in Missouri for 9 years when I finally changed them after I got married. I bought my 4Runner in 2003 in St. Louis and registered in in Texas, bought a house in 2004, graduated from grad school and started working in 2006, took my dad off my home loan in 2007....and still staye a Texan. 

I love when people tell me I don't sound like a Midwestern..even though I know I do more and more each day.  But put me back in Arkansas or Texas and my southern accent starts to come back out.  Texas is like a whole other country. People are prouf to be from Texas.  We even have a full year in 7th grade devoted to Texas history.....something I'm sure the kids of most any other state can not say.  Texas is massive....you can drive for 10 hours an still be in the same state. 

I hope one day to move back to Texas. J likes Texas so I know that he would be okay with this. For now, I will just settle with visiting the family and friends.  We are taking Peyton there next week. on our to do list:  tour of Texas stadium, a Rangers game, Pat Mackey's hamburgers, swimming, visiting with the Nuara's before they move to Arizona, seeing my BFF, and having some good family bonding!
