Hello Hello

Ok so I don't post often. Sorry I have just been busy and don't take the time to post. I will try and update more later but need to get back to studying. I took the reg ed texas teacher cert test and am taking the sped weds so need to get back to my studies. here are a few pics of texas. crazy cold weather here it actually snowed. The spring here is beautiful too. there are flowers everywhere and tons of gorgeous blue bonnets. The horses are from a field that is walking distance from my apt. I my posts are rather random but if you know me then you get it. The flowers that grow here are all part of Barbra Bush's beautification of Texas. Every time a new road is built the sod that they put down has wild flower seeds already planted in it. so when spring comes there are flowers. this has caused the wild flowers to spread like wild fire. Here is an interesting piece of information it illegal to in the state of Texas pick a Blue Bonnet. Why you ask. its the state flower. so if you are traveling in Texas do not pick the Blue Bonnets.

and finally some more Texas phrases that need translation.
