My niece, Megan, in my mom's gorgeous 1950s wedding dress!

Lots going on lately...my niece had her first wedding shower today and got lots of great gifts. Everyone loved her pics in the "old" wedding dresses....mine, her mom's, and grandmother's. Sarah (my step-daughter) gets married in Alabama this time next week....wow how time flies. I'm excited for the wedding and excited to get away for a few days. Fairhope, Alabama is a beautiful little town with cobblestone streets, drooping-mossy trees, and yachts in the bay. Looking forward to it.

Just finished a March of Dimes article this week about the organization and our friends Drew and Chandra, who lost their little girl after only 22 short days on this earth. They are one strong couple. Just looking at little Amberly's pictures tore my heart out. As much as I wanted to have my own kids and couldn't...thinking of having such a beautiful gift for such a short time is heart-breaking. I'm all about supporting the March of Dimes and their mission to prevent premature births. My buddies and I will be running the 5K on the 30th of this month. Look for what your community is doing locally.

Mark and I have been busy with new writing projects including a new Santa Fe guide book with University of New Mexico Press and several new apps. I'm so excited to have just signed a contract for an app on America's Best Girlfriend Getaways! Woohoo!!! My friends and I have some new trips planned and I can't wait. More on all this later.

Tomorrow I'm ordering my latest Athleta gear with my summer allotment! Love their stuff!
