Hey y'all
So Texas is my home state. I love Texas and I will always live in Texas unless God calls me to go somewhere else. But for now, Texas is where I'm staying. There's an old saying, "You can take a Texan out of Texas but you can't take Texas out of the Texan." Everyone who lives in Texas will understand that. :) Anyways, here are 10 reasons why I think Texas is the greatest state in America. Of course the list could go longer than 10 reasons but that would take a while, so we'll just bump it down to 10. By the way no offense to anyone outside of Texas.
10) Texas food-Do I have to explain myself? There's nothing better than Texas BBQ and Texas Sweet Tea. If you are from out of state and are visiting, you will not want to miss out on Texas BBQ and sweet tea. Oh and don't forget chips and queso on your way out.
9) Texas clothes-It is completely normal for someone to walk out in public with cowboy boots and a cowboy hat in Texas. In fact, that is what a lot of us Texans wear. So, if you're from out of state and you want to vacation in Texas don't be shocked when you see cowboys and wranglers whether they live in the country or city.
8) Texas is one of the hunting states-There are many great hunting states, and Texas just so happens to be one of those hunting states. I have never been hunting in my life, and I would absolutely love to someday, when i have money, get myself a gun and a liscence and go shoot a buck or a duck. See, the thing about us Texans, is we either love to go hunting or we are dying to go hunting. Even a Texas girl has hunting on her mind.
7) Texas has it's own language- The Texas language is a bit unique. We use words like, "y'all" instead of "you guys," "fixin to" instead of "i'll get to it," "what," instead of "excuse me" etc. It's the Texas Southern way of talking.
6) Texas Trucks- There is no argument here about whether Trucks are better than sports cars and it's not an opinion, it's a fact. Trucks are so much better than sports cars. We won't judge you if you have a sports car, but we do prefer trucks even if we don't have the money for them. We even have our own "Texas edition" trucks. Just about every other car you see in Texas will be a truck.
5) Texas Country music- Don't get me wrong I love the other type of country music, in fact Brad Paisley is my all time favorite Country singer and he's not from Texas. But, some of the greatest singers have come from Texas and brought some of the greatest country music out there. Take George Strait and Josh Abbott Band for example! :)
4) Texas football- Us Texans, even the girls, love to sit down on the couch and watch a good solid football game, whether it's college football on Saturday or NFL football on Sunday. We all love football and we're pretty hardcore when it comes down to football.
3) Texas Ranches- Now there are some beautiful ranches in Tennessee and Kentucky, but they just don't compare to the ranches we have in Texas.
2) Texas Rodeos- If you haven't seen at least one rodeo, either in Houston, Fort Worth, or San Antonio, then you are missing out. Rodeos are annual hang outs for Texans and they are huge in our state.
1) Texas Scenery- Last but not least the scenery is breathtaking. From the hillcountry to Texas Sunsets, you will not leave Texas without being in awe of how beautiful it is here.
And with that, GOD BLESS TEXAS!!!! :) Love y'all!!!! :)
