Leigh's B day B.Y.O.M

Last night was my good friend and neighbor Leigh's 25th birthday. We had a group of our friends over for beer, wine, and dinner. For dinner we did B.Y.O.M.(bring your own meat) We also had a great summer salad, sweet potatoes, strawberry/angle food cake Kabobs. However, even better than the food was the company. It was another beautiful summer night in the south.

Mississippi Bliss

This weekend me and my two best friends made the drive from Little Rock, Arkansas to my farm in Hernando, MS. It is a small town right outside of Memphis. We had an amazing weekend. Friday we went to a local restaurant on the square, Wendy City Grill. Had a few vodka tonics then went home to turn in early. The next morning we were up by 8:00 and at the farmers market. There are about 30 different vendors that set up shop around the court house and sell everything from produce to pottery. There were even free puppies. After that we figured it was time for Mimosas and the festivities began. Around noon we hit the pool along with some drinks and didn't leave until dinner was ready at 6:00. my mom made a delicious meal of shrimp, sweet potatoes, and asparagus. Then it was off to the local bar the spot for a fun night. We made tons of friends and had a great time. I always love going out to the farm because it is so relaxing. I also get to spend time with my uncle Tim and Aunt Teresa. However, it was nice getting to show my friends why I love MS so much. Our farm has around 200 acres of land and is beautiful. I will make sure to post pictures of the land soon. It was a weekend of Bliss in Mississippi.

Little Rock, Arkansas #1 midsize city to live in.

I currently live in Little Rock, Arkansas and a report came out this week that it was the #1 midsize city to live in in the country. This was according to the kiplinger report http://www.kiplinger.com/slideshow/real-estate/T006-S003-10-great-places-to-live-2013/index.html Not only is where I live the #1 city but the neighbor hood I live in (Hillcrest) was given a shout out. I have never really enjoyed living in Arkansas until I moved to Hillcrest in Little Rock. My neighborhood is full of life. There are always people walking their dogs, or on a run. All within walking distance we have a kroger, post office, amazing restaurants, boutique shopping, and hip bars. It is an amazing place to live and according to the Kiplinger report, I am not the only one who thinks that.

Here is a picture of my deck in Hillcrest.
