Texas Lou

Whenever I’m driving down the road and happen to see a vehicle pass me with a Texas license plate, something inside me jumps for joy.  It’s like that feeling I used to get when my high school crush would call and I would see his name on the caller id before picking up the phone.  A tiny bit of excitement takes over my heart because I know that the person in that vehicle has something wonderful in common with me!

So it is somewhat rare to see a Texas license plate in Virginia which is why I react this way.  However, when I travel to Texas and my mom picks me up from the airport, the first few cars that I see trigger this feeling inside of me.  And then I realize how silly I am because I’m back in Texas and seeing a Texas license plate IN Texas is no big deal!  But then I smile because I’m in Texas!

I know it’s random, but nothing feels like home, quite like Texas does.
