Texas

Even though it doesn't fully feel like winter here in West Texas, the truth is, it is. Today for example, I woke up to 30 degrees but it will be 70 by this afternoon. (And I wonder why I have the sniffles*cough*cough) Anyhoo, warm enough to throw on some shorts but way too cold to say, go for a swim! But I have the solution for you...

So I recently spoke to a friend who was visiting from another state. Her family moved here last year and she was finally able to come visit their new home state.

My mom would be finishing up a meal and would tell me to go outside and tell my dad the food was ready.

Last weekend we were able to be a part of the 'biggest Christmas celebration in Texas!' I had been hearing about how spectacular the Christmas lights at SeaWorld San Antonio are. I even see it this time every year on one of my friend's Snapchats as she visits every year. But this year I wanted to take my family, make memories and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!

The festival will feature 26 of the state’s most celebrated barbecue restaurants that will provide samples of their smoked meats to attendees.

There are some things in life that can only be found in Texas.

Light up this candle and remember you the Lone Star state this holiday season.
