after a weekend in belmont, texas, i have decided that i love the country. ive never been a true country girl...i did used to ride horses though, until i got bucked off and never got back on, literally. but its just so beautiful out there. you can see all of the stars and its so quiet and peaceful. i love it. one problem though was when we floated the river on this land and it got caught on a stick by my bathing suit and then tube, and i scraped and bruised my butt. but it does make me feel a little tough. we went looking for hogs to shoot, im very thankful that we didnt see any, because i dont know what i would have thought of that. but i did see an armadillo, ive never seen one alive, and a bunch of huge cows. i love country people, they are so friendly and automatically call you friend. we were driving around in the jeep at night and the song 'im from the country' by tracy byrd came on and we all sang, i loved it. great weekend that felt like vacation thanks to hurricane rita.
