Howdy.

We've returned from Texas. What a surprisingly fantastic whirlwind of a time, complete with lots of driving, family, small Texas towns, and found photographs. I feel immeasurably fatter and have a couple of pimples decorating my face, but I feel that I've grown so much (and not just in the waist) since we left.



I have a lot of pictures and stories to share, and I'm not sure when I'll get around to that. I don't think I'll be doing a detailed recap of the trip, but there are a few big things that happened that I'd love to write about. In the meantime, though, I'm going to enjoy our broke Christmas and spend some time catching up on what you guys have been up to.



Merry early Christmas! I love this time of year, and our trip served as a much-needed reminder about what's important to me.
