i spent last week in texas with my family. while pictures can’t capture all the beauty that resides in the place i still call home, they give me an opportunity to reflect and remember when i return to what i now consider my life.

i visited the texas state fair with my dad a few times as a little girl, remembering it as a big place that was too loud with too many people. still not a fan of crowds and noise, i saw it with new eyes this year, enjoying the antique cars, mapapa african acrobats and melt-in-your-mouth funnel cake.
