The Lone Star State

I was told that once I moved away from Texas I would become way more patriotic to my home state. I never thought I would miss it this much.. Here are just a few things that reside back in my home land but are lacking in the great state of Alabama.

MEXICAN FOOD. Tortilla's here are sold in the ethnic section of the grocery store...can you believe that? Pshhhh. Breakfast tacos before school with my friends is greatly missed. 

This is cliche but I miss Blue Bonnets. 

I miss people knowing what I was talking about when I mentioned HEB, Blue Bell Ice Cream or even Schliterbaun. 

And finally, I just miss the way Texas made me feel. It is my home, I am comfortable there. I miss feeling the way I feel when I watch this video. 

Miss you always Lone Star State. See you for Thanksgiving!

Shout Outs

These past couple of days I have been wrestling with what exactly to make my first blog post about.. and then it came to me. A whole post of individual shout outs to people I care about (even though all but one won't see it).

BackGround on Shout Outs: At camp in the morning during every staff meeting, we would take about 5 minutes to give individual shout outs to people who we have noticed doing something extra rare over the period of 24 hours. It could be funny, sentimental, encouraging or just plain dumb, but either way I looked at it, shout outs were one of my favorite things to sit through. 

Shout out to my crazy weird parents for making my day almost everyday through my mothers instagram account. #missthem

Shout out to my new sweet friend Jessica Williams for being probably one of the coolest girls I have ever met...I still don't know why we are friends, you are way to awesome.

Shout out to my sister for never backing down from a good "pickin.

And last but not least, Shout out to my best pal Hannah for setting up this blog and using skills that I obviously lack to help me become a cool indie blogger. Miss you a lot a lot. Christmas can't come soon enough.
