September Showers!

Today family members gathered at Marisa's home to celebrate

the upcoming marriage of Kevin & Kristen.

We enjoyed one another's company, learned a little about how Kevin feels about his bride-to-be through music,

and used candy bars to give Kristen marriage advice.

And while we did so, we indulged in the sweet treat of a chocolate fountain and some fresh veggies and crackers.

Those attending included MacKenzie Love, Grandma Helen Jean Witbeck, Nancy Weekes, Cici Burrell, Marisa Jean Larsen, Jeneal Burrell, Gayle Barnes, Hannah & Kim Killpack, Sabra & Malinda Burrell, Grandma Edith Osborne, Sheryl Coe, Autumn Zarlengo, Wendy Killpack, Nell Howell, and Kristen & Virginia Reid.

Kristen was showered with wonderful gifts from kitchen appliances to sexy lingerie. Kevin arrived just in time to kiss all the bows out of her hair.

The wedding is just four weeks away!

The Hurrier I Go ...

My beloved grandmother, Alverda Turner Hudson, always said

"The hurrier I go, the behinder I get."

Well, I'm understanding more and more the truth of this statement.

For the past month I have done nothing but

run, run, run ...

and I feel like I will never catch up.

One day soon I'll stop long enough to post some new blogs.

But, in the meantime, be aware that I'm still

living, breathing, and running!
