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...
My daughter went to Myrtle Beach in S.C. with friends for a few days in June. When she got back, I went over to her place to visit and find out about how her trip went. This gorgeous sunset was captured just after a pretty rough thunderstorm. My DSLR camera battery had died and I was freakin' out because I was afraid I was going to miss the shot, but my daughter handed me her best friend's camera and I was still able to get a few shots. I was a happy camper! :)
