Let Texas Fill My Soul

I've finally made it back home to Texas!  My flight home seemed to take forever, I'm not sure if it was the anticipation or the little boy kicking the back of my seat, but either way it was a long one!  On the flight I had my iPod on random and a big smile creeped across my face as Southbound 35 came across my playlist.  I've always loved that song, and felt an appreciation for Pats inspiration for the song.  I've always loved Texas as much as any good Texan should, but it's hard to really grasp until you've been gone...there really is something so special about this place.  And most would probably argue they feel the same way about their home, but I beg to differ.  But it's not their fault, they don't know, they're just not from Texas. "Let Texas Fill my Soul" that has always been my favorite line of the song, but it sure does take on a whole new meaning.  I truly do love London, but I am glad to be home!

I'm so lucky that I can work in our Dallas office while I am home so that I don't have to take vacation days to visit my family, I am able to be in the States for entire month because of this! I will be in Dallas through the New Year, then off to Houston for a few days, then on to Steamboat to ski with some friends for a week! 

Sorry I have been ignoring my blog the past few weeks, they have been a crazy few weeks! I left off at Thanksgiving with my family coming to visit me in London! We had the most amazing week, but I can't tell you how exhausting it was! We packed in anything and everything in those 6 days, and we did it with a baby!  It was such a great time, I would love to tell you guys every detail, but the thought of that is exhausting! Luckily, my sister has written all about it on her blog, so if you are interested, I will now direct you there!!  One cool tidbit I will let you in on is that we did see the Queen! What are the chances!

After my family left I only had a week before I left to come home for the holidays, so it was a week full of packing, seeing friends, Christmas parties and now here I am....off to let Texas fill my soul :) Family, friends, Mexican food, etc!
