Everything's bigger in Texas

I guess I've always grown up going back and forth between Texas and Georgia, so I haven't ever had the outside perspective of what people think who haven't been to Texas before, until a conversation with my best friend.  She asked me what Texas looked like and I'm pretty sure she had this in mind...

or this...

yikes.

I mean...I guess that's what happens when you type "Big Texas hair" in google, so maybe some of that is true. But not entirely!! Texas is cool. Texas is cool because of many reasons, and one being my family lives there.  This past weekend I got to go on a short trip to celebrate my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. Let me repeat that FIFTY years of marriage!! Now that is awesome, and what's even sweeter was the heartfelt conversation I had with my nana about the development of their sweet sweet relationship leading up until marriage. Talk about holding back tears.

We spent quality time eating good food, catching up, and looking through old embarrassing photos...here's one that was a little scary...

Meet my dad. At the ripe age of 17 (left). Meet my boyfriend. At the age of 21(ish). (Right)

                        

   

Scary huh. These shirts are oddly similar. I'm not sure whether to laugh or be scared. o well. My two favorite men enjoy similar styles? I guess that's how I'll leave it.

In other news...me and my big brother were clearly livin the good life during the elementary days.

Overall. My weekend was ballin. I loved everything about it. I hope your weekend was as good as mine :)
