So, I’m entering my, what is it now, 5th year in the lone star state of Texas. What I thought was to be a 9 month trot down the lane became a marathon of learning and growing, and fun. And I think I’m finally getting the hang of it- the big hair, the ’southern hospitality’- the y’alls and ‘fixins.’ If I want to be cosmopalitan, I can venture downtown, and be a total babe; and if i want to get back to my country roots, I can step outside, and down the street, where there are plenty of fields and praire dotted with horses and cows to feast my eyes upon. I’m telling you, this place used to be pretty ugly when I first showed up, but God has certainly beautified it since I’ve been here. Or maybe I’ve finally slowed down enough to appreciate it’s particular greatness.
