I'm sure at some point you've been asked, "What's your biggest regret?" If you're like many people I know, you respond with the typical, "I have no regrets/everything happens for a reason." Each time I hear such a statement, one simple thought comes to mind: how unf ... Read more...
For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you know that I occasionally throw out a "Dear Future Husband" post, in which I publicly identify obligations anyone who intends to put a  modest ring on it will have to fulfill. Past posts have included such heavy bu ... Read more...
