Dear Diary

I have decided that this entry will be about last weekend because it seems more like one quick day! Deanna, Kristy, and I traveled to Mississippi and Alabama for some fun with their families.

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.

the funny sayings on the Southern Belle t-shirts
