happy

I haven't posted a lot lately but here is a quick update for all my friends and family.  Everyone is doing very well.  Lee and I have been helping with several charity events the past few weeks.  I am so happy that we are in a position that we can give back and donate a little money but more importantly our time.  We are so blessed and it is eye-opening to see so many around us who are so less fortunate--not just with little piddly problems but major shortcomings.  I truly hope that we are making a difference in some of the lives that we have recently touched and I promise that we will continue to give back.

I took Brooke to see Taylor Swift last weekend, and we had a GREAT time!  It was exciting to see Brooke see Taylor Swift in person, I remember what it felt like the first time I saw Matchbox Twenty in person so it was great for me to be able to give her a dream.  Taylor put on an incredible show, it wasn't just a concert it was more of a theatrical production.  There were many costume changes, set changes, storylines with every song, it was amazing.  Taylor even came out to the opposite side of the stage into the crowd in the arena for a few songs, she was very close to us which was tremendously exciting for Brooke (and me too!).

the PINK month is here!

I love October for many reasons--the lovely fall weather, new primetime tv shows instead of reruns, my birthday, etc.  I also love it because it is breast cancer awareness month, something that is near and dear to my heart.  I support the cause year round, but in October everyone can support the cause very easily because there are thousands of products that are specially marked where companies are donating a part of the proceeds of that item to charity.  So happy shopping friends!!
