When Ben (my husband) and I first started hanging out he tried to win my heart by giving me two cds.  He gave me his band's (Young Agent Jones) recent cd and a mixed cd.  It worked.  Also this cd introduced me to The Shins, which is now one of my favorite bands.  I'm sure my best friend Nikki got so sick of hearing these cds during our 30 minute commute to and from the W (Mississippi University for Women). My First Mixed Cd from...

This past weekend Ben and I went to the farmer's market in Starkville.  It was our first time to visit the market since they moved to their brand new location.  We had a blast and it is very apparent that the market's organizers have worked very hard to make the new location really nice.  I feel like our little town is improving and I couldn't be more excited about it. Everything we bought was so delicious!
