Secrets To a Successful Marriage:
A couple weekends ago I went down to Knoxville for my cousin’s wedding shower. It was titled “Secrets to a Successful Marriage” and the host had each of us write down our secret and tape it to our gift. One of the guests was my cousin’s family friend and 3rd grade teacher. She asked her [...]

Two nights ago, eating dinner on the back porch, sun setting low, warm food in our bellies … Me: “Why do you love me?” Corey: “Because you’re sweet.” Me: “NO I’M NOT!?!” He knows I’m not sweet. At all. That is not a word anyone who knows me (and knows me as well as HE [...]
