In 1995 I took the biggest gamble of my life and married my beau of 7 years in Las Vegas. We exchanged vows at The Little White Chapel drive in window surrounded by children, family, and friends from around the globe and were serenaded by an Elvis impersonator singing ‘Love Me Tender’. We pawned our rings afterwards to dance – and bet – the night away. Twenty years later it remains my favorite wedding I’ve ever attended (and marriage remains a crapshoot every day!)
Even though it feels like fall outside there are only 20 days until Christmas. One of the things that gets me into the giving season is adopting children from the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program. This year we have chosen a 9 year old boy and a 3 year old girl and I am beyond excited to buy WWE toys for the young man and baby dolls for the little lady. Do you do anything special to get in the giving spirit? I’d love to know…
It has been a year of incredible highs and heart wrenching lows and through it all I remain immensely grateful for those that have walked the path with me. Thank you.
Saying ‘thanks’ doesn’t begin to cover how much is owed to all of the men and women who serve this great country as members of our military forces. In honor of Veteran’s Day 2015 attend a parade, say a prayer, write a card, or just say ‘thanks’ to a soldier you see.
Here in the South it could be 90 on day and 60 the next but it really feels like the season has changed. Fall might be my favorite time of year…the colors, the smells, the way the air feels so crisp and clear. Plus football, soups and stews, and cozying up with a good book in front of the fireplace. What more needs to be said?
