Texas Snow...again!

waking up to the snow today made me really happy! seeing snow in general makes me happy. but.... seeing it from inside gaylord hotel made me even more happy because it was a cool 72 degrees and I didnt have to freeze my booty off to enjoy it! :)
i really wish i had gotten some pictures because watching the snow from inside out was really pretty, it was like a snow globe...but opposite...im not sure that made any sense. 
i was on the 4th floor over looking riverwalk cantina, a view from the top. and the room was quit nice! from what i can remember ;) what made the room wonderful were the curtains. keep the curtains closed and a person could sleep all day and not see a ray of sunshine, or in my case today...snow. if i could have i probably would have stayed in bed all day, but sadly, i couldn't. thank goodness i was able to utilize all 8 pillows, because at the comfort of my own bed, i have 6 pillows. i was really worried that i would have to settle for only 4 pillows. walking out from the hotel back to my truck in only jeans, a t-shirt and a blazer did not make for a warm walk.. so the home away from home was a good one. (minus the cold walk to the parking garage!)
this is not an actual picture that i took, but it gives you the gist of what the view from my room looked like. its pretty darn close to what i saw from my room...and just imagine looking out the glass and seeing snow! oooh so pretty!

2026

 Where do I even begin? I got sick a few days before New Year’s Eve and ended up ringing in 2026 sick. Is anyone surprised? Because I’m not. I was down for a full week with a terrible case of strep throat—and I don’t even have tonsils. My doctor basically said I’m just prone to strep… because of course I am. Just my luck. Let’s back up to a few days after Christmas. My husband goes on his annual hunting trip every year, which is usually why I end up ringing in the New Year alone. But this time, I decided to go with him. We packed up the Frenchies, Bruno stayed with my sister, and we headed west for a long weekend of hunting. He always brings a couple of deer home, and that meat lasts us through the year. I know hunting isn’t for everyone. We don’t kill for sport—we hunt for food, and we use every part of it. This was actually my first time going to truly hunt. I’ve been out to the land before to shoot guns, fill feeders, and hang around camp… but I’d never gone hunting until now. I...

My sister and I took an early 7 a.m. flight to New York for her birthday. The night before, I had put on a new Dexcom, but just as I was leaving for the airport, I got a notification telling me to remove it immediately because it was defective. Cue me frantically trying to replace it without crying—definitely not the smooth start I’d pictured. At the airport, I somehow ended up at the wrong gate while my sister was at the correct one. I went through security alone and made it to what I thought was our gate, waiting by myself for about 20 minutes… until my sister called, annoyed, asking where I was. She thought I was running late and was now rushing through security, while I was already calmly sitting at the actual gate, ready to board. We finally met up, I apologized for the mix-up, she forgave me, and we grabbed some coffee. Caffeine in hand, we headed back to board—only to discover we were surrounded by a group of about 20 teenagers on a school trip to New York. My sister and I aren’...

It’s hard to put into words where this world is headed. I don’t share political opinions or push my religious beliefs on others. Instead, I choose to stand firm in my faith while seeking understanding and finding ways to relate to what’s happening in today’s political climate. As a "younger" person, based on what we’ve been taught and learned growing up, the way to make a difference is by speaking up, showing up, and advocating for your rights. So how do we not feel silenced when we see a young man gunned down simply for standing up for his faith and his rights? Times like these make you question how much you want to share on social media. Will I be judged or even persecuted for my faith? But I remember what my mom told me when I was younger: if anyone ever asks about my faith, I should always stand up to say that I am a Christian. No matter your political beliefs or religion, this act of hatred is completely unacceptable. A life was taken, a murderer acted with violence, chi...
