I am Texan through & through and darn proud of it! Yes, my sweetheart is "Darlin'" and my sons (22 & 24) both get called "Sweetie." Everytime I visit another state and am heading home, just crossing that state line back into Texas puts a huge smile on my face. In fact, there have been a few times I would have gotten out and turned a few cartwheels...if I was 20 years younger...and actually knew how to do cartwheels...okay, so I couldn't, but that's what I felt like doing. LOL!
