Wedding Bells

Friday Night, October 21, 2011 Ross and Amelia took the next step in making promises to each other for life. This is a very special time for them and I am really excited that they have made this choice to unite their lives by committing to each other. Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects. always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. The greatest of these is love!

I am so very blessed to have three beautiful children who are lent to me to love, cherish, and adore. They are not my possession but only my joy and through them I experience happiness that comes from what I make of it. Happiness is always within ourselves to project our love onto others. Enjoy the chocolates of life!

I welcome Amelia into our family love circle and may she know that she has always fit into the circle of love with us. She has been family from the start and it is through this commitment that it makes it official. She will always be family!

Nama was a great example of expressing love and acceptance and I miss her deeply. She was the pillar that held this family together. Mimi and Gigi have unconditional love pouring out of their veins and I am so blessed to have known Gigi for the short time I did. She was a truly lovable grandmother. Mimi is the best mother in-law that anyone could have asked for. She has given me strength in the sea of storms and I thank her for her example of fortitude and perseverance. Amelia has joined the family of women of strength! Courtney now has another sister. She was united in the sisterhood of PEO 2 years ago that opened their arms to a world of sisterly love and now she has the opportunity to have her very own sister. I know that she really would have loved to have a sister growing up; but there is nothing more wonderful than sister in laws. I have so many wonderful sister in laws. I couldn't have asked for a better sister as Leslie, who has given me so much. She is the best aunt to my children and I thank her for loving them so much. Kari means the world to me and I only had wished that I could have given back to her what she has done for me. Little things mean so much; thank you. My very own sisters, Susan and Peggy have carried me and lifted me through these very dark days and have given me a lantern to light my path. Unbelievable bonds through women will always be there and it is always just at your finger tips. Sisters....
