Texas on my Mind..

I woke up this morning,
with Texas on my mind,
thinking about my friends there..

[Pat Green, Texas on my Mind]



My Maya Brenner Texas necklace came in, today! I have been searching for a sterling silver Texas necklace to wear for a while, that way I can wear it and show my state pride. :)

I did have Texas on my mind today...I was listening to some good 'ole Texas Country and dreaming of my next trip home. I sure do miss it!

I miss Ochoa's Mexican food restaurant [mostly their hot sauce.] I crave it, regularly.

I miss beautiful, scenic back roads.

I miss going to see Madre at work.

Even though it is so hard, I miss being in a place with so many memories of my Dad.

I miss taking sister to Wal-Mart.

I miss Grey's Thursdays with Mel.

I miss dinner with Grandma and Granddaddy.

I miss Wal-Mart SUPERCENTER. We don't have those here.

I miss listening to Texas Country in the place the songs were written.

I miss Blue Bell ice cream! Homemade vanilla, alone. Or, in a Coca-Cola float.

I miss the REAL small town feel. Which is actually kind of funny, because my whole life, I wanted to leave, now I wish I could be there more often.

I miss movies and shopping with Madre.

I miss seeing friends and having dinner and drinks, shopping, working-out together, & just doing things that other people take for granted. Being able to call someone and see them within 30 minutes, and just doing silly things, like late night food runs or Wal-Mart time.

I miss fun photoshoots and time with Stacey.

I just miss it ALL.

I miss you ALL.

BUT...it won't be long and I will be back! Dates to follow, when we know something, anything, about a deployment for Jason, or if not that, a PCS. :)

Until then, take care of my favorite place in the world.

xoxo,
Heather
