Happy Memorial Day! I've wrote a little poem (two, really. They don't really go together ;)) to share with you all. Here it is, and I hope you enjoy. :)  Never forget the price that was paid for our freedom.

Ahh, it was so refreshing! <3 The writing was amazing and oh, so funny, I can't begin to count the times I laughed while reading th

What inspired you to start a blog?  Last summer I started looking at the  Circle C blog . I saw the list of Andi's fan blogs on the side and decided to look at some of them. I found a few that I liked and just check often for more posts. Reading different blogs made me think that I would like to have a blog. I also really wanted some blo
