Is Texas part of the South? All the girls here at TOMS, those from Georgia don't seem to think so. When I chose the name Southern Sole for my nick name at TOMS, they didn't see the connection. I almost cried. Though I have Texas pride, I do love the south- in the most politically correct way of course! So when I lost that battle with the "true southerners" of TOMS (Lindsey and Sarah), Jaci, Jill, and I(Austin's Angels as Brad Otts so kindly calls us!) picked fights with the rest of the staff!
We sat in the middle of the office, singing "Deep in the Heart of Texas" and declaring our allegiance to Texas, the only state that was once its own country! NO ONE believed that tidbit of history! Can you believe no one ever told them of our great state? I know, it shocked us too! They thought we were telling stories!
To say the least, we impressed few with our Texas pride. Lucky for us, the chief shoe-giver at TOMS (Blake) is a home-grown Texan. Oh glory!
My past three weeks here have been a roller coaster and I am loving the ride! I don't know if I have ever lived in a diverse atmosphere as this... the girls are so sweet, loud, kind, crazy, and each have their own "ness" that make them completely- them. I have learned something from each of them and have loved watching them work and play each day in LA! Whether we are encouraging each other in the midst of our struggles or fighting over the cleanliness of the condo, La casa de TOMS is a place of love and sisterhood! I seriously feel like we could be our own sorority, or reality show. Whichever Blake prefers.
