Frugal Farmhouse

Hello everyone! I missed everyone so much. I lost internet there for a few months but I'm back! I can't wait to share with you all the things that I have been going on in my neck of the woods!

Chevy Man and I met back in 2004. He was a friend of one of my friends. He came up to me and said "Are you Brandi?" I looked at him very bewildered.. and said "Ya, why do you know my name?" He then went on to tell me the long line of people who had told him about me and so on. We decided to go to a bon fire together and as he walked to his truck I turned to my friend and told him, "I'm going to marry him." We only chatted a few times before it seemed to me that he disappeared. A few months after this I moved to Phoenix. Always wondering what happened to him.

Please join me in m...
