You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find...you get what you need

Living in a small town has it's perks, however it also comes with it's fair share of negatives. Maybe it has nothing to do with a small town maybe it's just little league baseball in general but let me tell you...'round here it gets brutal. My 12 year old brother has been exposed to things I didn't think he would see or hear until he got to a high school locker room. And it's not from his teammates mind you, it's the adults. Our team has been kicked out of places that I thought it impossible to be thrown out of. I don't understand the mentality that our children are too good to lose, because that simply isn't the case. Our kids are no better than anyone else's and are certainly not above losing. Needless to say after a few embarrassing instances we are no longer little leaguers. It's a shame really because my brother suffers for other people's actions but that is where we are now.

Enough about things I can't control, onto things I can...my wedding is in three weeks and I'm surprisingly calm, maybe because I still have finals to get through or maybe I've suddenly become very zen either way it is upon us. I am very excited as my mamaw says my wedding will be "unlike anything you've ever seen." I'm still not sure if she means that in a positive or negative way...knowing her it's negative. But it will be different some will love it, some will hate it, and some won't get it at all but it will be me. We are calling it "Southern Vintage" and what am I if not southern and vintage? I am very excited for all of my family to be together and to celebrate our love. God has blessed me with a great family and with a wonderful man, so nothing will get me down that day.

Still getting the hang of this thing but I think I will leave you with music....today a little Simon and Garfunkel:
