Downtown Corinth, Mississippi

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

My great friend, Felicia, has been driving me crazy to see this small town we call home. We keep looking for a date we can all go visit...but, our schedules always seem to conflict. My dad sent me this video today. It is perfect to show you a piece - at least the downtown part - of Corinth. So, here you go Felicia!


Russ and I both grew up in Corinth, and once we were married, there was never a question that we would return one day. It's hard to explain the feeling we get when we are "home." Growing up in such a quaint small (but always growing) town, there was hardly ever a stranger. The town revolves around the kids and all the activities that go along with that. There really isn't a private school - no need for one. The school district is awesome! The whole town supports the high school teams. I love going back during football season. Kids can play outside with no worries. When you go out to eat - you'll always run into someone you know! Also, everything is within a 5-10 minute drive!! Hard to imagine if you live in Jackson, huh? My life, especially, revolved around my church. My dad is actually the pastor at First Baptist Church. Talk about spoiled! Our church family is just that - a family. It's hard to find that, I've learned. Church is one of the main reasons I wanted to return. As for Russ, he's related to almost everyone in town! Ha! So, it's hard for both of us to be away from our families. Although, both of us went through the "I wanna get outta here!" Stage as teenagers, we always end up coming back "home."

As many times as I've been there, I have never had slugburger. One place I love going is Martha's Menu after church on Sunday. Their banana pudding is fabulous! Brad has a possible job opportunity in Corinth, so maybe we'll see you there!
