Brooke and TJ

So, my husband's cousin, Brooke...I am not sure if she has a blog, but I suppose that she would be one of those natural bloggers :)...anyway, she got married on May 31st, and we were there to witness the fairlytale.

Delainy had the privlege of being one of two flower girls in the wedding. Ever since she found out that she would be in the wedding, she was talking about Cinderella (Brooke) and Prince Cahrming (TJ, of course) and how they were going to live happily ever after and have a great ball and she would wear a beautiful dress and dance the night away and they would kiss and.....you get the picture.

The wedding was beautiful! Their story is sweet! Dealiny is still talking about it, and they will live happily ever after!

Special thanks to Kory's terrific cousins Mandy and Kate for being so good to Delainy!

Family

Warning: This one will be serious...

Family is something that I am extremely thankful for! The last few months has really put life and family into perspective for me. My Papa died on Friday, and I am getting ready to go to Flagstaff to see family I haven't seen in years; I just wish that my Papa would be there with all of us. He would have loved being with all of us together. I think the last time that happened was for his surprise 75th birthday...he was 82 when he died.

My Papa was such a loving man. I have such fond memories of him from very early in life...all the way to the last time I saw him, just a few months ago. He was proudly watching my Uncle Tom (his oldest son) be inducted into Brophy's Hall of Fame for basketball. He was so proud of his kids and grandkids.

This is just a reminder that life here on earth is short. Don't keep putting off anything in hopes that you will have time tomorrow.

To Blog Or Not To Blog

I have been debating starting a blog. Obviously, there is not a debate anymore. If you chose to follow me and read my ramblings, there are a few things you should know:

My blogging isn't going to be fully serious...and it isn't going to be fully goofy. Those of you who know me know that I am a goofball...but I can be serious. I have some friends who do this blogging thing really well. I mean I could sit and read their blogs all day long, and I am in awe at how they are able to be witty and funny and serious and cute all at the same time. I will not even try to pretend to match the skill of my blogger friends who have unknowingly inspired me to blog. Basically, what I am saying is...if you are bored with my blog...don't read it. I won't be offended :) You can always visit my friend's blogs...they are great!
