Thanksgiving with Family

Spent T-Day with my family in Mission Springs. Always fun to torture, I mean PLAY, with the younger cousins.

Drive from WA to CA

My long-time MS/FR friend Kim flew up to WA just to jump in my truck and drive back down to the SF Bay Area. Along the way she introduced me to Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland.

 It is safe to say that the sugar-high we were suffering from helped us drive through the night and arrive safely at our destinations!

I think Kim was away from home for less than 24 hours...but time well worth it!

An Amazing Wedding of Two Amazing People

A royal entrance!

Happy dancing!

At Last

Spending the weekend celebrating Danielle and Thad's wedding!!!

 

I met Danielle while in AFG.

A true life saver!

She is the one person that can see through every aspect of the strong front that I put up.

She is the one person I have never been able to hide from.

And for that I am forever greatful!

During the eleventh month,

On the eleventh day,

At the eleventh hour,

I salute you.

Man is like a breath;

his days are like a fleeting shadow.
