Sorry I have been absent from Blog land so long.  Its been a BUSY summer and I have barely had time to breathe with all my wedding clients.  We have a bit of a break from now until September so hopefully I can get back to blogging regularly.  Thank you SO much for the emails, [...]

That pretty much sums up northern ohio!  Oh wait… except for the fact that there is a terrible infestion in northern Ohio.  Not only are these things terribly irritating but it is to the point that it is downright ridiculous!  Troy had told me of his adventures with these stupid things before but I didn’t [...]

I cannot go into the details right now but sufficed to say yesterday was another one of “those days”.  No… its not Kyleigh and its not marital … financial stuff.  I swear its like we cannot get a break.  You survive your kid almost dying (a couple of times), “the nanny” from hell, and then [...]

See the post below… James had surgery today on his sinus and from what I hear had a pretty rough go of it.  If you will take a moment to pray for James that he will not be in pain, that God will lay his healing hands on him and allow the healing process to [...]
