i loved the smell of
the bbq at the awesome non-truck stop (Okay, it was really a truck stop but it thankfully had none of the usual qualities associated with truck stops!)
*
i loved the sound of
Kristy: "that's a lawsuit waiting to happen"
This comment was in regard to the misunderstanding that a sign was posted that only allowed boys to use a restroom in a store. Actually, there was simply a mix-up with the doors which was due to sleep deprivation.
"Employees Only": The real message.

i loved the taste of
YOGURT MOUNTAIN in Bama...thanks Dea, now I can't wait to go back ;)

*

i loved the sight of
the funny sayings on the Southern Belle t-shirts

i loved the feel of
getting out of the car after driving for 7 hours straight

Fast Approaching

I can not believe that it is about to be April! This also means that my birthday is less than two months away! Good news...I'll be 22. Bad news...I have SO many things to accomplish on my "21 Things to do Before I'm 22" list!
