Felicia, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! How fun!!! I'm sure it was a beautiful day for you and your man. Sorry we couldn't be there to enjoy it with you. Can't wait to see the pics when you can post them. It is funny how fast time goes. We just had our 1st year anniversary a three weeks ago. It was hard to believe a year has gone by but while we were separated time was going so slowly. Now that we are together, it has really sped up and I wonder where the time goes.

Congratulations again. I'm so excited for you.
