Welcome to my world!

Wow, here I am, a part of the blogging world. I have many texan stories to tell, and apparently, all the typing space to tell them! :) I am a 'twenty something' with a positive attitude (most of the time), a husband extraordinaire, I have a family and lovely friends, full of love, and in Minnesota, and the rest is details filled in to jam-pack my daily life!

Today sped by, like most of my days as a 5th grade teacher. Like clockwork, my sweet husband kisses me before he gets out of bed for the day, and I stumble like a five year old, grumpy and undone, to the bathroom. Once I make it to school, past the 'driving extremists', as I like to call my Houstonian driving buddies, the barage of children greet me at my door. They are ready for me to match their energy level; give them a purpose for their day, and I couldn't love every minute of it more... I know, slightly delusional. At the days end, I am exhausted; my brain feels fuzzy, but man do I have some stories to tell Sangam.

I am soaking up the Texas weather right now. It is in the 70s and beautiful, except for the saturated pollen that infests my nasal cavaties, and feels like stinging nettles have been shoved up my nose, and into my eyes. Sangam and I drove up to Brenham, Texas to witness the bluebells and various wildflowers as they cascade across rolling hill farmland. We stopped along the road at least a half dozen times; watched as the longhorn cattle lazily grazed among the breathtaking blues, oranges, yellows and reds. I have never seen so many wildflowers blooming so vibrantly...it took my breath away! That was...until I started feeling a funny little stinging in my nose, and frantically started walk/running towards the car for kleenex. Hey, you can't have your cake and eat it too :( Next time, I will take my zertec before entering the fields of pollen...
