There are so many things we love about living in Texas. We have some of the best food in the country, an independent spirit, and we really ARE friendlier--for the most part. As long as no one tries to quench that independent spirit, we'll get along just fine.

Another thing to treasure about our beloved Texas? There is still a "wildness" here. It's the sense that, if we desire, we can pull off the main roads and still get lost--but in a good way. From our East Texas piney woods to our hill country, plains, and prairies, they are all uniquely gorgeous and wildly--Texan.
