Just a girl trying to figure out the heck comes next, and trying to remember not to worry about it so much that I forget to live in what happens now.
About Me
- Crystal
- Murfreesboro, TN
- I'm a 30-something female living in a college town. I love Dr. Pepper, (but am trying to give it up) my friends, (I am not trying to give them up,) my family, and Jesus. Not in that order. Jesus is SO much better than Dr. Pepper (and all the rest.) I have a job, a dog, a fiance, a (sometimes) running car and am growing out wedding hair.

My mother used to say to me, "Elwood-" she always called me Elwood-"in this life you can be two things:
Oh so smart, or oh so pleasant." For years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
