Joelle, February 14, 2013 11:45 am reply For some reason, I've been desperately wishing I lived in the south right now! And this doesn't help...I love how much you all love where you live, and I love the culture that brought you up! Can't wait to read more, and hopefully (crossing my fingers) I'll be able to plan a wedding down there someday :) xoxo
Marissa, February 14, 2013 12:38 pm reply Thanks, Joelle! The South is an amazing place to live, and I'm sure you'd love it! xx
Amber Housley, February 14, 2013 12:32 pm reply Marissa, you are adorable! The South misses you as well! :) xo
Marissa, February 14, 2013 12:37 pm reply Thanks, friend! Hope you're amazing! xx
Jessica B, February 14, 2013 1:09 pm reply I left the South for Arizona about a year and a half ago for my (now) fiance's job! I miss the South dearly as well, most especially when I receive my Southern Living magazine in the mail. But don't fret... there's lots to like about Arizona (the mountains are gorgeous and constantly changing as the light does), and you can still occasionally find sweet tea in restaurants (Firehouse Subs, for one). Best of luck, and if you're looking for a new friend in Tucson or Phoenix (I live in the first, commute for work to the second), let me know! =)
Marissa, February 14, 2013 1:23 pm reply Oh my goodness, Jessica! You're the sweetest! I do enjoy it here, but of course, change is always hard. We'll only be here for a bit, but so appreciate the sweet offer! xx
Sarah B., February 14, 2013 6:19 pm reply I love this so much! As a Southern girl who has been out in California for three years, this is exactly how I feel. I'm heading back to Nashville this weekend, and this makes me even more excited to get back to all the things I love. Marissa, thank you for this beautiful letter and welcome to the west side of the country! I promise it's just as beautiful and unique in it's own way, and I'm sure you'll find things to love during your time here.
Desiree, February 17, 2013 10:30 pm reply Hugs to you MAK!
Kate Collison, February 20, 2013 9:57 am reply Love this! A gorgeous, thankful, grateful letter. I'm so glad I read it! God Bless! :)
