You might be a redneck if...

I found this gem of a photo when I was at home for the long weekend.  It is so awful, but so great.  Looking at old pictures makes you realize how much you have changed and, perhaps, also how much you still want to change. 

(I am able to post this picture because I know every single one of you has a photo just as great as this, lying around somewhere)

Cherish it :)

Rolling Luggage will Roll

If you are going to have an embarrassing moment, it may as well be in another state.

I had a funny moment while traveling on the metro in Washington D.C. We were on our way to the airport so we had all of our luggage with us. Due to some maintenance, the metro was at a stand still for quite some time, so I decided to sit on my luggage--the rolling kind.

I sat there quite happily for some time, so as the train started to move, I stayed sitting. Well, a few moments later, my suitcase decided to roll out from under me. I fell right on my behind in front of a train full of people.

It was pretty embarrassing, but the only thing that hurt a little was my pride. We laughed that off pretty quickly. It was a great clumsy moment of mine.

Freedom Ain't Free

I just got back from visiting Washington D.C. What an amazing city! We saw a lot of museums and monuments. It was a lot of walking. There is some pretty country back there. One of my favorite parts of the trip was taking a bike ride from Old Town Alexandria to Mount Vernon, George Washington's estate. It was a breathtaking 20 mile ride.



We were also able to take a tour of the White House, the Library of Congress, and the Capitol Building. Pretty amazing stuff.

It was so neat to see all that went in to founding our country. So many men and women have sacrificed themselves for our freedom. I am so grateful for their service. We are extremely blessed to live in this great country.

You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles

I recently read "The Princess Bride" Such a fun book. I think everyone should read it at some point in their lives. The movie is really great, but the book has so much more. As is the case with most book/movie combos, the book is better than the movie. Quite honestly, I didn't think that one was possible, but boy was I pleasantly proven wrong.

Read it. Love it.
