I will be getting married on November 3rd of this year! I work 40 hours a week as a HR Assistant and enjoy my free time by cookin', cleanin', playin' cards, plannin' my weddin', and enjoyin' family and friends. My personal tumblr is:cdmjlw.tumblr.com and my pinterest is: pinterest.com/cdmurph/. We get our inspiration from Paula Deen, Ree Drummond, and Pat and Gina Neely.
