Things Southern Girls Like: College Football

So one thing I have noticed while living in L.A. is a shock people by my knowledge of football. Not only do I know the NFL, but more importantly to me, I know NCAA.

My co-workers are astonished when I talk about the CBS (College Bowl Series) and my thoughts on the recent Big 12 controversies.

Well with that said, today is GAME DAY!

And my Baylor Bears are taking on TCU. I seriously hope that RG3 will continue to be the savior of the Baylor Nation as we Rise Up.

Wishing all my southern friends out there a happy football season and remember to accesorise well!

Southern Lady Magazine and Some Family History

I have always been a reader of Southern Living ever since I was little. My mom subscribed to it and when I got to college I found myself buying my own copies. Well, this month I wanted to try something new. I purchased Southern Lady magazine and was utterly thrilled with it. While, it does have a more distinguished and sophisticated tone, the recipes and articles were great. To top it off there was an article about my family history in it! God works in strange ways doesn't he!

In their History Lessons section, Southern Lady magazine went inside Ashland: The Henry Clay Estate. Henry clay is my great-great-great uncle on my fathers side. The Clay name is still alive in our family and I am so fortunate to have such a well traced (and documented) family history. I will surely keep this article and cannot wait to share it with the rest of my family!
