Alex and I have been married for 7 years today. We were basically babies when we got hitched, the first newlyweds of our college friends. Our family and buddies piled into the Dallas Women’s Forum off Ross Avenue on a very hot day in August, with just a few air conditioner units. Everybody was very … Continue reading
Dear single friends- I know. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that I got married when I was basically a toddler and what on earth could I possibly know about being single and I should just shut up already.

But today, I am free to do as I please and I have decided to repost this blog. For those of you that don’t know, Alex and I met in late … Continue reading
