Somewhere Down In Texas

This is a photo collection of my just part of my stint in Texas. It really doesn't do my love for Texas or that state's amazing-ness any justice, but I'll try to work on it some more. I can't wait to move back down there!

*** UPDATE: 9/19/11: Thank you to all the people who've viewed this video and written comments on it. I'm really flattered this little picture slideshow has tallied up so many views.

I just wanted to share with you all that I am back in Texas right now, for the time being. Probably less than seven months. I made this video a couple years ago, I suppose, and it's really interesting to revisit and re-read what I had written in the description section before.

When I had first moved to Texas, I hadn't been to a lot of places -- so I fell in love with it pretty easy. Since that time, I got married and my husband's in the military, so I've been exposed to lots of other places and it's given me a new perspective that I felt obligated to share.

Texas has some wonderfully beautiful places to see and really great people to meet -- but I've learned that it isn't the only place that has that to offer. The beauty overlooking bends of the Missouri River across over into Kansas and the rugged coastline drive from Monterey to Big Sur in California have taken my breathe away much like the many purple Texas sunsets I've been fortunate to see. Throughout all of this traveling, I have met people in Missouri, in Wyoming, in Oklahoma, in Utah, in Nevada, in California, in Arizona, and in Texas that I have felt blessed to have met.

So, I guess I've learned that every place on this Earth really has something to offer you -- if you are willing to let it. And I thank Texas (along with the handfuls of other places I've temporarily settled) for all the happiness they've given me.
