    Wedding Rehearsal

    …and lots of details just so I’ll remember them Here’s a collage of today’s wedding rehearsal. It was held at the Groom’s Parents house. I was very impressed by how Nikki and Chris started the rehearsal off. They thanked everyone for coming and Nikki went around and told everyone’s name. Then, Chris went expressed the need for everyone to get along and basically said that if you have something negative to say to keep your mouth shut! I loved it! The night went very smoothly and after all the details were mulled over and the walking was practiced….several times, we…

    14 Years…Really?

    Dear Rob, I just can’t believe it’s been 14 years since we tied the knot! I think back to through the years. It makes me happy to know that we’ve stuck through all the ups and downs through these years. What we’ve gone through in the last 4 years would be enough to test any relationship! For some, troubled times strengthens the marriage, for some it weakens the relationship, and for most, it breaks the relationship. During these troubled times, I’ve asked God, “Why me? Why us?” and as I sit and write this, I can say I think we’ve…

My travel destination of choice is somewhere tropical via cruise ship. 3. My favorite food is Mexican. No doubt, I would eat it everyday if I could. 4. My happy place…

    Braces

    Drew got his braces today! He just got the top set today along with ‘stuff’ on the bottom teeth (which you can’t see unless he opens his mouth) so that his mouth can’t close all the way, which allows room for the adjustments to take place. Dr. T says that he’s trying to correct the crossbite before putting on the bottom braces.
