I was just obsessively combing through adoption blogs and found all this goodness about Mississippi! My husband and I are both from there and met at USM. Ryan is from Dixie or Hattiesburg and I am from Colubmus. I also worked at Jody's, but the one that was above the Methodist Hour. I also loved all your Jackson comments because I lived there for a year and went to Millsaps. We are also adopting from Ethiopia with Gladney but only started the journey. We'll have to meet up whenever we are both home and partake in some McAlister's and caramel cake!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714860900435476882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-84525131628221762912007-08-27T09:14:00.000-07:002007-08-27T09:14:00.000-07:00what a lovely piece, lori! there was a lot of head...what a lovely piece, lori! there was a lot of head shaking "yes" on this side of the interwebs. <BR/><BR/>while i know the fame of the caramel cake (side note: our papaw would buy one of the smaller single layer cakes instead of a slice and just open it right there in the restaurant. he's offer us all a piece, but then would dig in with his fork, eating it straight out of the pan.), i do have to say that i prefer the italian cream. :)neolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06646213155643062840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-247253124348726822007-08-24T20:40:00.000-07:002007-08-24T20:40:00.000-07:00great post about being homesick. after just comin...great post about being homesick. after just coming home from our trip to MT, I'm always a little homesick and wished I lived around all my family.

Instead, during our ceremony, as sweat was rolling down my back in torrents, I'd keep pushing Ted away when he stood too close blocking the tiny breeze between us.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553145979283388517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-36363180813841108732007-08-24T07:51:00.000-07:002007-08-24T07:51:00.000-07:00Thankfully, we got married at 10 in the morning, s...Thankfully, we got married at 10 in the morning, so it wasn't too bad--and we had AC. But it was freakin' hot in Dallas,like always....afterwards the photographer dragged us outside for pics; we lasted about one minute out there. In the pics I look like I've been sprayed with a very fine mist.Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639903193368926508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2877454090421566197.post-73122625041769103612007-08-23T22:52:00.000-07:002007-08-23T22:52:00.000-07:00Yep, looks like we were married the same day as ya...Yep, looks like we were married the same day as ya'll.
