Lone Star State of Mind

She gave me her "sparkly eyes" today. An embrace. An "I love you." We parted ways and I watched her through the glass hustle off to the winding labyrinth made of nylon rope barriers. She is so beautiful. Breathtaking. She gives me pause and I can't help but stare at her. I love her.

Today my Mish is heading to Texas, our roots. I tried to be as honest as possible without being overbearing when I told her not to fall in love with Texas. I fear the odds are against me right now. She'll be with family. It's a rumored 80 degrees. A baby shower is being thrown in her honor. Old friends will show support. And naturally, there will be plenty of Chick'fil'A. It's not looking good.
