You Know You're In Texas When....

We have been in Texas for my brother, Sean's wedding. The whole family was able to come and it has been so much fun to be with everybody. It has been funny to listen to some family members talk about how hot and humid it is here in Texas. You forget how hot it is when you don't live here anymore. But, to beat the heat, we just hit the pool or the best restaurants around. I was taking a cold shower the other night, when I thought about starting this post.






1. you take a cold shower to find relief from the heat

2. you find yourself at Shipleys Donuts every morning..these donuts are so irresistable

3. your brother-in-law (Kyle) is walking around like a gorilla trying to keep all of his body parts from touching to each other

4. you have eaten Rudy's BBcue for lunch and Wings N More for dinner( by the way, we had a good time with Shayne, Jen, Kyle and Tyler when we ate here..the party you eat with his half the fun)

5. when you walk outside you feel like yor in a sauna


6. the ice cream is better because its Blue Bell

7. the barbecue isn't hotdogs and hamburgers

8. the people are friendly...after all, it is the "friendly state"

9. the people pull over on the shoulder of the road to let you pass

10. when it starts raining, it isn't going to get cooler, but it's going to get hotter outside

11. folks actually know what "school pride" is all about(its apparent when about 100,000 people live in College Station and 999,000 of those people are wearing maroon on a daily basis)

12. you are afraid to sit on the grass because of fireants

13. $4 a gallon for gas doesn't stop you from starting your car 10 minutes before you leave to let it cool down.

14. you see the Texas and USA flag flying side by side
