The English Major Shares

Strange as it may sound, it has taken until now for me to contemplate the idea that just because I don't have the bookstore anymore doesn't mean I can't continue my blog! When my husband was my boyfriend, he used to jokingly refer to me as 'The Major' (sometimes 'The Private', depending on the circumstances we found ourselves in.) So, I figure, this was a blog for The English Major Bookstore so me without the bookstore leaves just 'The English Major'. And English Majors tend to like to write and blogs are good outlets for that :)
Chris and I are a few days shy of our six-month wedding annviversary! We feel like experts on the whole being married thing- not! We have had our ups and downs, but it has been wonderful. Some blog, I'll tell you about the course of our relationship- this wedding was a long time coming and I'm very happy we had it! (So is Chris, by the way:)
It is, of course, Winter here in Memphis, which for us fulltime carriage drivers, it's just such a great time of year, with it's lack of rides and cold weather. Chris and I feel like we can see a light at the end of the tunnel as there are a lot of activities in February. Of anyone is reading this, remember, it is never too early to book you Valentine's Carriage Ride with me or my husband. You can go to Carriage Tours of Memphis for me, The Carriage Company for him. I'm prettier, just for the record. Speaking of coomedy, Mike McDonald was on Showtime this morning- he's the guy that played Stuart on Mad TV- and he was doing a stand-up comedy routine and it was hysterical!! Laughed my tush off! This has definitely been the easiest winter of my life as a carriage driver ( and the most special, too.)
Well, it's Tuesday, it's supposed to snow in a few hours, 1-3 inches, so in other words, we are snowed in, there is no escape and no way out. We've stocked up on the basic supplies and both my husband and I believe we are going to make it through this storm unscathed. We will pull through it and persevere, likely stronger people for having survived it. Good Luck, Memphis, we'll see you on the other side of this storm. God speed, everyone!
