Sweet Reminders of Home


Hello new blogger interface!

We're y'all as surprised as I was to find a whole new homepage to your blogger as I was?

What is this, Facebook?! 

Well can't say I hate it.  I love the new page for writing our posts!
It's so BIG! 

So I wasn't gonna post today, but I wanted to share something with y'all that someone did for me today.

That someone is Meg from Sweetly Complicated.

Her blog is one of my daily reads and I also follow her on Instagram.

Meg lives in Texas right now and she's a teacher (just from that I knew we'd get along GREAT!)
But I soon learned that she used to live in Orlando, then moved to Texas!

We've basically swapped states.

Anyway....today I was browsing Instagram before work and I saw Meg has posted a picture of the Texas sunset and a dandalion.
(Ps. she is one heck of a photographer so you should def check out her work! She's AMAZING!)

Anyway, I have no idea why, but her picture made me just tad homesick for Texas.
(maybe more than just a tad).
And I commented on her picture telling her just that.

Well, fast forward about 4 hours later when I'm checking my e-mail at work and I have an e-mail from Meg.


It's entitled:  
Sweet Reminders of Home!

And it has this message:

Good Morning! 
    After I saw your comment on my dandelion picture on instagram I wanted to send you this sweet reminder of home! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday! 

XO
Meg 


With these two pictures attached:

I cannot tell you how touched I was upon seeing the pictures.
I literally started tearing up at work and had to excuse myself to the ladies room.

Why?
Because 1. Right now I'm missing home more than just a tad and seeing these beautiful Texas Bluebonnets was just too much.
and 2. I thought to myself, "Wow, this is why I love blogging."
Because I get to meet such amazing girls, who have some of the biggest hearts in the world!

So Meg,
THANK YOU!
You made my day.

Oh! I'm from TX but live in Colorado. Bluebonnets always make me homesick (and tamales, and the desperate need I have for sopapillas, and just the sound of everyone saying ya'll.)

Meg is a total sweetheart, and it's so cool that she could provide those photos to you at a time that you needed them most! Who knew, right?!

I hope you have a fantastic week!
