Church, family, live music, festivals, cooking
I enjoy the simplicity of southern life. Family functions, friends, festivals, live music, and church are all great activities I enjoy. While I enjoy an excursion to the city and out of the country when I can there is absolutely nothing I love better than living in NC with access to beaches and mountains. Both are a small segment of God's amazing beauty and grace.
