Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. My mom told me that years ago, and its always stuck with me. It&#8217;s become a life habit I don&#8217;t even think about doing. I [...]]]></description>

I grew up a small town girl. 3A high school graduate. Living in the country until college. And even then, I went to college in&#8230; what you&#8217;d pretty much STILL call a small town in a way. (A small city, perhaps?)  Believing myself to be that [...]]]></description>
