Why You Need A Hamblin/Huff on Your Side

Some of you may know my family. Others may not. For those of you that don't, here are five reasons why you need a Hamblin or a Huff on your side in the case of a Zombie Apocolypse:


1) We got the food.


Everybody who knows us knows we LOVE food and canning. You may be eating a ton of potatoes, green beans, and tomato juice but in the grand scheme of things, at least you aren't a zombie looking for brains.


2) We got the ammo (and the guns to back it up).

As well as machetes, hunting knives, the odd baseball bat or two. Pretty much everything you need to start your zombie apocalypse defense plan.


3) We already number a small militia on our own.

Between Nana and Papaw's side of the family, there's over 600 of us at reunions and other events if we all show up in the same place. Roughly 400 of those show up for everything anyways. Strength in numbers, people.


4) We're used to eating things that others aren't.

Turtles (trust us, it's delicious), squirrels, hogs. If it's got hooves or fur, we can find some way to fix it between all of us. Quite yummy ways too!


5) We've got your back.

No matter what happens, whether a zombie horde is beating down your door or you just need somewhere to stay until the craziness passes over, you'll find a place with us. And that's just one of many reasons I love my family.

****Disclaimer: This is for pure fun, my dears (please don't feel offended) :) I personally find my family pretty dang awesome and think this would be very valid for all of us if this were to ever happen (not that it may).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
