Happy New Year to my Blog-readers! Thank you for your continued support, hopefully I’ve done my job in keeping friends and family informed of my goings-on this past year.

I want to fly into hurricanes when I grow up! Many who know me know that I’ve wanted to do that for many years. I may have even mentioned it in high school, but probably didn’t talk about it anymore once I learned that most of the people who do that are in the Air … Read more

I’m excited that another one of my friends has made the jump to the dark side. Southern Girl is one of the Original Playgroup* Mom friends from when I first moved to North Carolina in July 2005. She’s your classic North Carolina-born-and-bred lady, and her storytelling is all the proof you need that’s she’s a … Read more
