Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born - it's an idea, a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, high school football, cookouts, country music, and acoustic guitars. It's being hospitable, being devoted to front porches, magnolias, the good Lord, and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way.

10 Random Facts

1. I rode a lama once when i was in 5th Grade! .....ha true story! I lived out in the country at this time and we had a Lama named Benson. One day i decided i was going to ride him so i went and found a 5 gallon bucket turned it upside down next to Benson and climbed on his bare back. One little tap and off he ran with me on his back. By the time we made it to the middle of a tall grass field I started to wonder if he was ever gonna stop running so I got scared and jumped off. My parents ended up calling an ambulance and I had to go to the ER. I ended up with a cracked tailbone and walked with a limp the rest of the summer. All my older sisters guy friends called me "Lama Mama" all summer! :(

2. I've been driving for 10 maybe 11 years and have already had 9 cars! .....Spoiled in HS!

3. I love it when people say my name but i hardly ever say other peoples names. I tend to use nicknames for people a lot. I call all baby boys "Bubuh" and girls of any age "Sister". And not sister as in "Sister Amanda" or "Sister Sarah".....Just sister because....i don't really know why but i call all girls sister.

4. I want a puppy SOOOOOO BAD!!!! I have always heard that you start with a plant and if you can keep it alive, go to a fish, then a puppy, then a baby! :) ha-ha I've done the fish and the plant thing and now im ready to move on to the puppy stage! Im so tempted every time i see one now that i live somewhere that i can have one. But its an apartment and i'd feel bad leaving him inside if i was gone for a few hours and not being able to let him go outside and play when its nice out. Soooo ill just have to wait till I someday get a house or till someone else gets a house and puppy can live with them. :)

5. Im watching the Today show right now (well not watching but its on) and they have "Cosmos 50 Best Potential Boyfriends, 1 from each state) and I didn't see a 1 that was attractive. Then again i'm very very picky! Tall, dark and handsome and over 6'3!!! Otherwise I disagree! (Oh besides Wentworth Miller he's only 6'1 but he's a exception! :)......and YES i know looks arent everything! Looks are toward the bottom of my must have list! CHRISTIAN and Funny lead the way!

6. I actually LOVE LOVE LOVE my job! I miss being in ministry 24-7 but i think i now work in one of the biggest mission fields out there. Not only can God work through me with my employees but just random people who come in Chili's to eat. I have shared my faith SOOO many times to just random people who come in to eat. Ha I will talk to ANYONE who will talk back! :) But i have the best boss and make really really good money.

7. I have to pay my personal property taxes today and call me weird but I wish I was paying them on a House and not just my car! Im very independent and even though it cost a lot of money to be independent i LOVE it!!! :)

8. I LOVE Jeans!! A Lot!!! I have over 50 pairs of jeans!!! Sad I Know, but jeans are one of those things that can make or break your attire for the day! Easy to dress up or dress down! I love them! :)

9. Part of me freaks out at this point in life when I meet really good guys! Ha I probably want to get married more than most but I freak out when it comes down to it because divorce is so highly rated these days. Christian or not more people are getting divorced and cheating more than ever. Sad! :( .....UGH The Today Show just said "Is staying with the same person for life normal?....Is monogamy Natural?.....1/3 of marriages end in divorce within 10 years......" .....Exactly my point!......But it did say It is a Choice! So true! Love is a choice not an emotion! :)

10. I LOVE to Laugh! A LOT!!!! My stomach is sore today because I laughed so much at work last night! I think that the worst day can be turned amazing just by spending a little time with someone who is funny!!! I Love being around people who are funny! I mean I AM funny and im always around myself and i do make myself laugh sometimes ;) but i'd much rather have someone else make me laugh!!! My favorite people in my life I can honestly say its because they make me laugh!!! :)
