Home Sweet Home

I'm alive, in case you were thinking that I wasn't since I dropped off the face of the blogging universe for the past week.  Last Tuesday was completely bittersweet as we left the state we call home along with friends and family to uproot and move to a place where we will start a new chapter in our lives, a place that will be filled with new memories.  It's hard to believe that just like that, in a matter of one day, we became residents of Texas.  We are officially home sweet home.  There have been two states in my life that I have considered home, where I have become the woman I am today.  This year we add a third state, and it might be the most one yet.  

Tennessee has my earliest roots, where I have memories of growing up in a beautiful area right next to the Smoky Mountains.

Boots: My Diary of Us

Texas, Boots, and Antiques

Last week I headed to Warrenton, Texas for a weekend full of boot wearing days, antique shopping, and some quality time with my mama.  It's a tradition that I meet her there twice a year, once in the Spring, and once in the Fall and it's so much fun!  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you might be more familiar with Round Top, Texas which is basically the same, they are neighboring little towns but both are part of the huge antique show that goes on there. 

There are miles and miles of tents and vendors set up with their antiques and hand made crafts and there are smells of kettle corn and BBQ filling the air!  If you have never been, you need to make it happen!  They have the best furniture, if you are looking for anything for your home and have the widest range of items all mashed together in a way that works.

A Trip to the Coast

After living at least eight hours away from my mom and dad for over ten years, by chance we have both landed ourselves in Texas, an hour and fifteen minutes away from each other without even trying!  They recently moved to the coast of Texas, which happens to be really beautiful.  I had no idea...did you?  Since the ocean is my favorite place in the world, this works out great for me!  To take advantage,  this weekend we loaded the pups and headed south so we could put our toes in the sand and feel the ocean breeze on our skin.  The weekend was full of beautiful views, great food, SEC football, and family time.
