Bill and Monica Tied the Knot in D.C.

No, not THAT Bill and Monica. My nephew Bill and his sweet Monica. We had a great time. The ceremony was very unconventional, but just perfect for them. We had lot's of family time. They have great friends and Monica's family is wonderful. Rob and I got some sightseeing done. We hadn't been in Washington for many years, so it brought back lots of memories.

All my sisters were there and even Jerry made the trip. My neices were lots of fun and a little crazy. We got to see some great football games on Saturday too. Eventhough my family was pretty upset about the ND game. Iloved every second of the whole weekend.

I am just so thankful that we have such a close family and we have shared so much in each other's lives, eventhough there are many miles between us , we have still maintained close relationships with each other. This year has been filled with so many beginnings. The Graduations, births and weddings remind me just how many blessings we have to be thankful for. No matter how much money you have, or how many material things you own, if you don't have good relationships, your very unhappy. We are totally blessed with great friends and family.

So next month , we have one more baby coming, and another wedding to celebrate. Isn't that great? I am so excited about both.
