Summer

I write this blog today to confess something.
I am bitter.
My parents moved to Alaska last August. Yes, Alaska. I am not all that happy about it. I have lived in Alaska for nearly a year and I personally felt it was the most dreadful place to live for my personality type. It's a beautiful place to visit maybe twice, respect the creation that God beautifully made but ya know its just I am a Texan gal entirely!
TEX-AN!!!
I am blissfully happy about home in Texas. Though my family knows I am a sunflower that needs to be in driving distance to the beach, I still hear repeatedly how it would be so great if I would just move to Alaska. No thank you. This is where one half of my bitterness comes from.
The other half of this bitterness is that I am realizing in the summer not everyone shares my love for the ridiculously HOT summers. It is ok people! I know, you're hot. I sometimes feel bad for my sweet babies when if placed in the car seat in an incautious way they may get a little-non-harming-kind of burn from the seat belt buckle. It's pretty terrible I know. But within moments that AC blasts and we are all good. Especially if there is a water hose and some shade with some nice, iced down lemonade on hand, we are golden!
I realize that we don't experience much of a winter but we do get a piece of a fall. You just have to look for it ;) And lets be really honest here, Fall doesn't even officially begin until September 22nd so lets not get all sad when we don't see our temps moving down just yet. Give it some time :)
So if you hear me over enthusiastically say I LOVE TEXAS AND ALL ITS HEAT cut me some slack and try not to look at me crazy.
It's just I'm not moving to Alaska and I kinda like it right here in Texas, where its nice and hot ;)
Good day to you!
