When I first started at Baptist, I was the Publications Editor, yes I wrote for a living and let me just say, I had no idea what I was doing. But, I winged it pretty well (kind of like my blog as I find the need to do when I have a two-year-old wanting a banana and the mush ends up in my keyboard). After a few months, I was approached by the lady who was going to take over the marketing department offering me a position as a marketing coordinator. It was a good move career-wise, so I jumped at ... View the Post

Prepping for The Love Story ~ The College Years
The Fall after high school graduation I entered the University of Southern Mississippi. Of my group of friends in high school, the majority went to Ole Miss, a few to Mississippi State and I went to the University of Southern Mississippi.
