Well - it is high time to write a little blog about my favorite state - TEXAS! Now, let me first say, that Brady and I love California and are thankful to be out here. Ok - now with that said... Here are a few funny, but O-SO-TRUE statements about the place of my birth!
- "Fix-in-to" is one word.
- "Sweetened ice tea" is appropriate for all meals, and you start drinking it when you are about two.
- "Backwards and forwards" means I know everything about you.
- "Jeet?" is actually a phrase meaning "did you eat?"
- You can switch from "heat" to "A/C" in one day.
- Stores don't have bags. They have sacks.
- You can see cars with their engines running in the Wal-Mart parking lot with no one in them, no matter what time of year.
- You install security lights on your house and garage, and leave them both unlocked.
- You carry jumper cables for your own car.
- You know what "cow tipping" and "snipe hunting" are.
- The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but requries six pages to cover Friday night high school football.
- The four season are: Almost summer, summer, still summer and Christmas.
- You know whether another Texan is from East, West, North, or South Texas as soon as he opens his mouth.
- A carbonated soft drink isn't pop, soda, or cola...It's Coke regardless of brand or flavor.

These things make me laugh and make me miss Texas! It really is a fun state to live in and there are parts of it that have a few more of the normal seasons... I hope you get a chuckle out of it! Happy weekend!
