Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're born - it's an idea, a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It's more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, high school football, beer, country music, and acoustic guitars. It's being hospitable, being devoted to front porches, magnolias, the good Lord, and each other. We don't become Southern - we're born that way.

Loved My Christmas

I had SUCH a wonderful Christmas. Most importantly, the best part was just being with family:) You know I just didn't really "need" anything; I didn't really "want" anything this year either. This Christmas snuck up on me. I can't even believe it's over. I wasn't ready which is probably why I didn't really know what to ask for. Ha!

Regardless, I ended up with some great gifts this year! These are my new pretties!


LC got me a new car! It's not brand new, but it's similar to this in a diff color. I haven't had a new car in about 5 years! It was my MIL's. She got a new car so he bought her old one. Regardless, I have a new car, and I'm loving it:)

 Nook Tablet and a new Barnes and Noble Membership from LC, my BIL and future SIL!!!!

Patagonia Fleece:from LC:)
VS pink and black polka dot pjs 
and my parents paid off my VS bill. Yay:)
Kinect from the in-laws! Can't wait to start using this to workout.

And  my  mom bought this fleece fabric from Hancock's and had my aunt make me a fleece blanket out of it. Tacky?Yes. Love it? For sure:)
 Anddddd, the parentals also gave me the Urban Decay Naked palette. Yay!

Also, my parents gave me $75 which was much needed:)

I had a great Christmas. I got great presents, but my heart was full after this weekend. So great to see family and friends. I can't wait til next year!
