Am I the only one who’s completely blown away by the fact that tomorrow is Christmas? That means that today, Thursday the 24th, is Christmas Eve. Wow. Where did the month go? For that matter, where did the year go? It seems like only yesterday we were in Georgia for the holidays, making wreaths and [...]

To my Sweet Boy - I want you to know on this, your special day, just how special you are. And since everyone needs to be told just how wonderful they are on their birthday, I’ll start: you are kind and loving and generous. You are also sweet and selfless and smart. And you are sensitive and [...]

It’s been two whole years since we said our “I do’s” and agreed to spend our lives together. I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. It has been simply amazing.

No matter how old we are, we still get excited about Christmas morning and this holiday was no exception. We were up bright and early at 7:30 and by 8:00 everyone was gathered around the tree. My step father brought out his Bible and asked the CPA to read from Luke 2. It was a [...]

This year, instead of visiting my dad and stepmother at [...]

We left the happy couple and headed home to quickly feed Oscar and grab some last minute items. We were on our way to the reception site when I received a phone call from my aunt asking how far away we were. Just a few miles, I replied, knowing that that could mean 15 minutes [...]

Saturday started out overcast and gray with a projected forecast of rain throughout the day. We didn’t have time to think about the weather though – we had a wedding and a reception to prepare. My sister left the house by 8:00 to do some last minute things to get ready and the rest of us [...]
