Texas Living

We didn't have school today (thanks, U.S. Presidents!), and I have no good khaki pants anymore. That's what happens when you haven't bought any since high school and have not stayed the same size since then. Off to the outlet mall we went. Let me just tell you that it is so foreign for people to have their a/c on in February, or to be walking around in an outdoor mall in February and being happy to have a breeze come through to cool you. So, so weird.

The drive there and back was great, though. Windows down, music up, and back road driving. [amazing]

The county we're in, Harris County, actually has the highest horse-to-person ratio per capita in the United States. [I would've taken pictures along the way, but I was driving.] I love seeing horses and fields and all of the different styles of homes around here. It's just so different here. Every time we go somewhere, there's something new to see. And it's always beautiful in some way.

I want to soak in as much as I possibly can in 2 months. I don't think I'll ever get the chance to say "I live in Texas right now" again. I want to live in Texas while I'm here.
