A lot of times, life isn’t at all like the fairytales we used to read as children. Bluebirds and mice don’t show up to do the dishes and the laundry, and I don’t know about you, but my fairy godmother certainly hasn’t graced me with her presence quite yet. However sometimes, after kissing a lot […]

These are the kind of people that you meet and cannot help but love. Genuine, funny, caring, […]

Rebecca and Clinton’s love story is a classic.  Country girl meets city boy.  They fall in love.
