Still Away in Texas
Tumblr - Sorry I’ve missed you. I’ve been in Texas since the 21st - still have a couple more days here.
Things I’ve enjoyed here:
Seeing extended family after 5 & 1/2 years
Watching little kids open presents on Christmas morning
Massive nerf gun war with above kids
Little kid Christmas prayers
Reconnecting with friends
Chick-fil-a
Friendly strangers
