The Taco Table

There seems to be an extreme amount of ridiculousness going on in the world these days so we decided to just ask each other some light-hearted questions for this episode. You never know what you might learn. Hope you enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rachel-langston0/message

We loved our time in Colorado during July! So much so that, when we started talking about it for the podcast, we talked for almost 2 hours. So, here's the first part of our conversation. Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rachel-langston0/message

Seriously, Chris and I are 30+ years older than these young ladies and they still let us hang around with them! Rachel met Julianna several years ago when she led a discipleship group that her daughter was in. Since then, Julianna graduated HS, left for college in Texas, came home for college in Birmingham and met Brooke. Today, we are all in a book club together and they are some of our favorite people ever! We think you will fall in love with them too! If you like the podcast, we would love for you to share it with someone else that you think would enjoy it.

****SPOILER ALERT**** Chris and I absolutely talk about some things from specific books that are crucial to the plot lines and reading experience.

We mention lots of podcasts in this episode, far too many to list individually! But, we do want to specifically mention The Big Boo Cast with Sophie Hudson & Melanie Shankle. We don't know them personally, even though we feel like we do (AND we hope to meet them someday)! But, listening to their podcast and hearing about their friendship and their families made us want to learn how to podcast so we could tell people about our Friday nights at the Mexican restaurant. Enjoy!

Rachel & Chris have been friends since they pledged the same sorority in college, 30+ years ago. They (and their people) love eating Mexican food; talking about anything and everything; and traveling! After listening to LOTS and LOTS of other podcasts, they decided to start their own. Here's a little taste of what to expect from their new adventure!
