Seriously though.

It’s really hard.

That’s what I have so far. It all looks good & sounds yummy. It’s very do-able.

But for real. It’s hard work.

And then you have to make a grocery list & figure out everything you need.

And it’s complicated by the fact that the one I love & myself don’t live together. We live about 30 minutes apart. So when I cook for him, at his house, it’s a pain. And when I stay with him over night I have to pack lots of food.

This take tons of planning.

I'm a 24 year old young professional. I have lived in Virginia my entire life and wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy a glass of wine on the front porch in the evenings, a good book, laying on the sofa watching old reruns, and cuddling. I also enjoy cookouts with friends & family, going to the shooting range, being in the woods, and drive on dirt roads that lead to no where. I was raised a city girl, but I'm definitely a country girl at heart.
