Yes, it does snow in Texas!




This was Christmas Eve in Texas!! I know... it looks like a postcard. We were so excited! I don't have any pictures of us playing in the snow because I was playing as well. It actually lasted for a couple of days. It was amazing to wake up Christmas morning and see the snow. It snowed again today. I know some of you are sick of the snow where you live and say "so what?" But this just shows that it is your perspective on things that shape your attitudes. Here in Texas, snow is a rare, let alone on Christmas. The last time it snowed on Christmas was in the 1980's. Those of you up north will laugh when I tell you that when Clark went to the grocery store to pick up some last minute things for the house, he saw people double parked on the curb. People were freaking out trying to get water and stuff to wait out the snowstorm! (It lasted overnight!) The roads were slowed to practically a stop because we had no idea how to drive on this stuff! Clark, coming from Tennessee, was just shaking his head at the craziness. In the meantime, while here in Texas we are stressing over an inch on snow, Clark's mom still cannot get out of her driveway in North Carolina. Perspective, again.
