Just Something to Think About

"Wake up! If you knew for certain you had a terminal illness--if you had little time to live--you would waste precious little of it! Well, I'm telling you...you do have a terminal illness: It's called birth. You don't have more than a few years left. No one does! So be happy now, without reason--or you will never be at all."
Dan Millman (The Peaceful Warrior)

Bridal Shower

"So many happy memories come from sharing life with the one you love."

Today day I went to a bridal shower of the daugher of my special friend, Deb's. Her name is Tori and she's getting married October 3rd, 2008, in Las Vegas at the Flamingo. No Elvis impersonators, just a beautiful gazebo wedding outside in the garden.
Here's a picture of her when she was nine and dressed up as a bride for Halloween and she proudly proclaimed, "Someday....I'm gonna be a bride!" Well, her day has come....and only three weeks away! Deb, did you even think then that this day would be here so quick and you'd be saying "good-bye" to your little girl and having to let go? I think she'll be in good hands, though!

This is Tori now. Hasn't changed a bit, has she? Still going to be a beautiful bride again.....this time for real!

Tori and friend Denise....the worked together at Build-A-Bear and are now great friends.
