Also, as a result of needing to get a TN driver's license, it's time I finally nail down what color I say my eyes are. Let's be honest, we all know the answer is actually "impossible to tell due to constant dilation," but I don't think that will fly. I'd have to add a stipulation that, no, I've never been high--my eyes just prefer loathing sunshine and headlights at night.
sooo...now taking votes. grey perhaps? they're not blue...or green...and there's no brown, so they can't be hazel...although, my right tends to be bluer and my left greener...and they sometimes change colors. I'll let you decide.
I'll leave you with a visual ode to my favorite parts of Arkansas,
my home for roughly 22 years.
my home for roughly 22 years.
The Razorbacks...I mean, who knows what a razorback is. Seriously.
Crater of Diamonds State Park.
The only public access diamond mine in the world. You keep what you find. I just wish I was around in 1924 when some guy found that 40+ carat diamond.
(I'm sad I still haven't gone here.)

Mount Petit Jean (and Mount Nebo.) Tons of great memories of sunsets, sunrises, weddings, hiking, swimming, cookouts, etc. at both places.
The old license plates. With the 'r' leaf.
Growing up in the shadow of Arkansas Nuclear One
Every child (myself included) thought their dad worked at the 'cloud factory.'
perk: the glow-in-the-dark capabilities come in super handy.
Eureka Springs
The best quirky, haunted, hilly, Victorian town on the planet.
Also, home to Thorncrown Chapel, built by E. Fay Jones.
The Ozark Mountains
oh...and one mustn't forget the Clintons...looking FINE, you two.
...and much more, but i'm too lazy to find anything else.

this post pretty much made me tear up.
ugh! it's so tragic. i'm giving up my residency also when i so clearly love this state more.
i think i shall have to be a copy cat and have my own arkansas-dedicated post.
i love eureka. and i will ALWAYS be proud of the razorbacks. and our ozark mountains (even though snobby states say they are hills.) and of our diamond park.
this is all just so sad!
I saw a razorback for the first time at the gentry safari... before that moment, I thought Arkansas had made them up.
