Many of you know today’s special blogger, but might not realize it. Shay writes Mix & Match Family…a great blog with beauty and fashion tips, thoughtful posts about marriage…and oh yeah, life behind-the-scenes as the cutie-pie big sister of a certain Bachelor. Shay was there when Tierra melted-down, and again when Sean sashayed across the dance floor…and she’s spilled all the beans! She actually lives near me, so hopefully our friendship crosses the virtual line soon.

And check out {20 Questions} with Jamie at I Suwannee here.
SHAY! I had a 2 door red Eagle Talon. We were destined to be friends. 🙂
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your 20 Questions! I just love you to pieces Cassie! (And a side note: thankfully, after the doctors removed all of my lymph nodes, they couldn't find any traces of cancer. It was nothing short of a miracle and I was healed. Praise Jesus!)
What a fun interview. 🙂 I remember seeing Shay and her family on The Bachelor and thinking they seemed like nice, normal people. Had no idea she has a blog too. 🙂

If I didn't love shay so much I'd hate her for her perfect calves. But because she's such a loving, godly person, I can forgive her her freakish amazing lower legs ; ) *you can bet I'll be checking those out next time I see her. No wonder she wears wedges all the time….
Love this! She's so cute! Wow, praise God is right! What a miracle!
