If ya' ain't from Texas...

...you just wouldn't understand.

I ❤ the lone star state and I'm extremely proud of being from Texas. 

Most of us just can't help it; it's bred into us. 

We take pride in our beautiful state, and, yeah maybe it's led us to be a bit cocky because we think we're the best, but we've got plenty of reasons to back it up!

I'm doing a blog link-up with Amanda for Texas Tuesday to share what being a Texan means to me.

(Don't know what Texas Tuesday is? It's a weekly link-up hosted by Jana and Amanda, that's open to anyone, not just Texans. All you need to do is write about something Texas related, post their little button in your post, then go back here and link up! That's it!)
