Just wanted to take a moment to congratulate my niece, Marlena, and her Hubby, Tom, on the birth of their son, Peyton Thomas. He was born June 8th at 10:45 PM. He weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. I believe this makes me a great aunt 35 times now and we still have one on the way! Congrats Marlena and Tom! He's beautiful and he looks just like his handsome Daddy!
Thirty years ago today, October 7, 1978, I was in a white dress and veil walking down the isle to say I do to the love of my life, Donnie. Just months before, I had broken off an engagement with another guy that I had dated for probably 1.5 years. Donnie had also just been through a prior fairly long relationship where there had been talk of marriage. It is at this time of my reminiscing that I am glad that those prayers I prayed to God to be with the one prior to Donnie went unanswered. Donnie, too, had prayed and prayed about being with his prior girlfriend. They had planned to grow old and gray together and he was quite devastated when she broke things off with him, but you see, God had another plan… It started one night when my sister wanted me to go with her to her boyfriend, Melvin’s church to meet a friend of his. She was telling me how goodlooking she thought this guy was and how she felt we would be perfect for each other. I still wasn’t over my boyfriend, but I went along wit...
