I’m a Texas girl at heart, but fell in love with a Missouri boy and I don’t think I’ll ever leave these Ozark hills for good, though I do love a romantic getaway with my love.

I was a terrible bridezilla on my wedding day (just ask my mother). Yikes! But that makes me extremely patient in high stress situations at other weddings.

I call myself a reader, but I rarely read books anymore. Audible has taken over my life.

I cry at almost every wedding. I make my husband dance with me at every opportunity, even if Scooby Doo is on tv in the background. I’m just a sappy romantic.

My grandpa told me when I was 10 that when I could eat an entire sandwich with horseradish mustard on it, I would be a real grown-up. Still can’t. YUCK.

After I watched Steel Magnolias for the first time, I asked people to say Shelby in a southern accent when speaking to me. “Sh-ae-lby” just sounds better, doesn’t it?
