Please don’t drink and drive.
At lunch today, my fortune cookie said “You will have many friends when you need them”. That couldn’t be more true today.

Vegas Recap!

They found me while search for small intimate churches and they came across Nikki and Eric’s wedding at Forest Lawn. The ceremony was very...
Tim’s Homecoming!
Last Tuesday I got to be involved in something new! Well, new to me. Shannon and Tim have done this two times now. Tim was in the Marine Corps and was stationed overseas a few years back. He got out, found a great job and was enjoying life with his wife and two little boys....
