Read MoreIt’s Fall Ya’ll
Sep 30, 2010Can you believe that it is already October?! I have decided that October is by far my favorite month of the year in Texas. It’s cool in the mornings, mid 70s during the day, sunny all the time. I think I’m just a cool-weather girl, so Fall gets me all excited about the months […]
