Howdy!

Welcome to my summer blog! I am home in Texas for the summer after successfully completing my first year of college. There is lots to see, do and learn here in Texas. I hope you can discover a thing or two about Texas and get to know me a little bit as you read through these entries and look through my photography.

Shoe Shoppn'


Do you know what? I have lived here in Texas for more than thirteen years and I still don't talk like a Texan!
How humiliating.
Today I found a really cool web site called "How to Imitate a Texan Accent."
It's pretty accurate if you want to learn a thing or two.
For example, it says:
"Step 1:
Drop the g's in "-ing" for example:
"I'm taking a book" - "I'm takin' a book."
People with a heavy Texan accent always drop the g's."
Pretty neat hu?
So I went out with a friend the other day, (Day #5 I believe) to get shoes for her high school prom she was attendn' the next day.
We went shoe shoppn'. Not to be confused with shoe shopping.
It was really fun to go walkn' around the out door mall, lookn' at shoes, talkn' about boys, and eatn' icecream.
Before long, we was runn' in the rain (big Texas sized rain drops I might add) back to the car.
(I'm gettn' good at this!)
