Hi there, sweet friends! Today I’m going to make it pretty quick and to the point. I’m about to head out of town for a Work Conference, but don’t worry, I’ll have my laptop and internet so I’ll still be posting throughout the week, but today I just want to share with y’all two new link-ups!
The First Link-Up is the once a month Home Town Hop Link-up!
This was my first month to participate in the Cara Box with Wifessionals! I got paired with another Mississippi girl, Hillary @ A Whole Awful Lot. Hillary is a brand new blogger and she is the sweetest thing! We hit it off really well and have kept in touch week by week. Hillary sent me the most perfect Cara Box this week and it was filled with everything I love and adore!!

| Yeah, those were delightful, and I’m a tad embarrassed to say, that they are ALL gone! |

Good morning, sweet friends! I wanted to introduce you to some fabulous girls I had the unbelievable pleasure of getting to know this past Saturday!
Originally, I had seen a post by Ashley from Wanna Be Green, about an Alabama Blate. Well, I live about 30 minutes from the Alabama State Line and asked if they would welcome a Mississippi girl and she said OF COURSE! I was SO excited, but so nervous at the same time. Just FYI and possibly TMI, but when I get nervous, I sweat… so I was sweating the whole way there, that kind of nervous excitement!

| I was so excited! |
So I arrive at Urban Standard, which by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed! I got a chicken salad sandwich and this delicious strawberry cupcake! So anyways, on to my ladies!

| Nom, Nom! |
I met some of the sweetest girls and it was fabulous because you know how it is when you bring 9 girls together… chances are, you may not like one of them, girls can be catty! This was absolutely NOTHING like that though, we all got along really well and enjoyed each others company. I felt so blessed, I seriously think I gained 8 new BFF’s!
Let me introduce
I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to get to know these lovely ladies and spend almost 3 hours talking about blogging! It was wonderful! I also gave Ashley her giveaway prize and she loved it, which warmed my heart! 🙂

After B-ham, I headed down to Jackson to see 2 of my very best friends before they move to Colorado! I joined them for church Sunday morning and then enjoyed some Cracker Barrel for lunch. I managed to hold back the tears, but I’m sure they’ll be coming throughout the week as I realize that my best friend is not as easy to visit. Although, she did live in London for a period of time, and we managed. I’ll be making a trip out to Colorado this summer, for sure!
For Me and my new blog friends:
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
-C.S. Lewis
M & P, thank you for being the best friends a girl could have, I’m going to miss you, but I wish you the best as you are finally able to live in the same city as husband and wife! You will never know the true blessing and inspiration you have been in my life! I love you both!
“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.”
– William Shakespeare
