Texas Sky

Getting away from the big city lights certainly has its benefits.  I love being back in Texas because I get to enjoy these beautiful sunsets.  I snapped these photos at Stephen F. Austin's Mast Children's Garden, in gorgeous Nacogdoches.

After over a year away from College Station, I found myself back in Aggieland for a few hours yesterday.  I had such a great time walking around, taking pictures of all the exciting changes on campus (MSC, Military Walk, Liberal Arts Building).

Of course I can't help but feel nostalgic—life in Aggieland was such an important time for me.  I think being here helped me grow a lot,  and this is where I met many of my favorite people.  Texas A&M wasn't the obvious choice of school for me (first generation Aggie!), but it's impossible for me to imagine my college years in any other place.

(Now please indulge me as I watch this emotionally manipulative advertisement, designed to make former students like me feel extra sentimental.)

I feel blessed to have so many great memories here, and I love trying to imagine all of the future Aggies that will create their own memories in this historic and ever evolving place.
