Here we go!

With a lot of encouragement from my friends and family, I have decided to start a blog. Eeek! This blog will contain observations that I have made and continue to make living in this state called Mississippi. I have lived here for 6 months now, and have come across things that unless you see them for yourself, are hard to believe. Everything, you thought you knew about Mississippi, is probably true.
I am a wife and mother of 3. I have been an Army spouse for the past 16.5 year and a mother for 15 years. Both make me extremely proud!  For those that know me, they know that I have a very honest sense of humor, I am quick witted, and don't buy into bullshit. I am also loyal to a fault and have a big heart that can get easily broken. But, enough of that sappy crap. On to why this blog is necessary.......
My husband and I are both "Yankees". Born and bred north of the Mason-Dixon line. We both however, chose to move to the South(aka Florida) for college, it was awesome. Since then, we have lived all over the world and US, not really loving or hating anywhere we have landed. But, always enjoyed the time and learned a lot from the places we called home. Then Uncle Sam thought it would be a good idea to send us here. The Deep South, a whole other part of the South. Yes, it is completely different from all the other states south of the Mason-Dixon line.  I know what you are thinking, sure, how can it be that much different, from let's say South Carolina, where they still fly the Rebel flag, or Louisiana, where Swap People and Duck Dynasty are filmed. Combine those two things, and you are now close to Mississippi.
Hope you enjoy reading about all the things, that I notice. Like this wall in our town, that was just out in the open for all to see.
