North Carolina born & bread is exactly the way I like it.
Good ol' Burlington, North Carolina is where I was born. The heart of the south some say. A little town filled with pick up trucks, country music, churches, sweet tea, tobacco fields & my whole family. Where 'hey y'all' is how you great a group of friends & 'ain't' is in everybody's vocabulary. Where Sunday school wasn't an option, the friends you had when you were in diapers are the same friends you have now and your families houses were only separated by a few streets.
Being from the south isn't a bad thing. I am proud to be a southern girl after all, it's what makes me, ME. From my love of country music to my sassy, southern attitude. Where cursing isn't a language but simply a way to get your point across. Where fishing & hunting are a way of life and not just a sport. Where 'bless your heart' was the nice way of saying something mean. Where eating Sunday dinner at my Mimi's house was a tradition and something I looked forward too every week. Where my family is my best friends and I wouldn't have it any other way.
My southern roots have taught me some of the most important life lessons I will never forget. Love your neighbors for who they are, never judge a book by its cover, family ALWAYS comes first, never forget to pray & NEVER miss a Sunday church service.
Here's to being proud of who you are and where you come from. May your glass of tea always be sweet
