Something that seems so ingrained in southern culture is the art of facade casting. I've seen the women closest to me do it and my acquaintances do it all the time. You hear them conversing on the phone or a conversation over coffee "So how have you been" The friend asks. They reply "Oh we've…
Last Friday Fred and I celebrated five years of being married. I have a lot of thoughts running through my head about marriage but I'm going to keep it short and sweet so we can get to the good part (the pictures)! We have been through 6 moves together (one out of state move), we…

Hey friends! So I've started reading a lot more this year and it has slowly become the highlight of my day. I've always loved reading but always told myself I didn't have time to read but this year I was determined to make time. Each month, I plan to give an update on what I've…
