i need to look older...

So the other week I was at my great uncle's funeral. A family member (whom I had never met before) started talking to me. "So you're in high school?" At this point, my jaw lands on the floor and I stare at her dumbfoundedly. "College?" I pick my jaw up and quickly say no to that one. "I'm twenty seven."

I constantly get mistaked for a 14-16 year old. While most women are purchasing products to make them look younger, I'm busy trying to look older. And if one more person says I'll enjoy it oneday, I'm going to slap them. In a nice way, of course.

a birthday

Tonight we celebrated David's Grandma's 85th birthday. We had dinner with the fam complete with cake and presents. After opening her presents Grandma said, "I know you're just making a big deal out of this birthday because you think it will be my last. But I think I'm going to trick you and live another year."

We hope you do Grandma!

only in the south...

-can everyone gather after a funeral at the church to eat a lunch consisting of fried chicken, deviled eggs, and pineapple rings topped with mayo, chedder cheese and a cherry.

-is there still a family martiarch whom everyone listens to and obeys

-people pull over when they see a funeral procession and police officers stand by their cars stopping traffic holding their hats over their hearts

-can you ask the lady at the biscuitville drive thru how to get to the first baptist church

i love the south.
