so grande!

it is official we just booked our honeymoon! i can't even believe it!!! we are going to st. lucia, staying at the sandals grande st. lucian. we decided to splurge since we aren't really going on a big vacation this year (and probably next year haha)...so we will be staying for a week in the penthouse honeymoon beachfront concierge room! i will be off from thanksgiving through december 15th, i cannot wait!

hope.

on june 12th at the children's hospital of philadelphia, one of my very best friends, kathy, did something very special. she was asked to make a speech honoring an extremley amazing and determined woman and doctor...Dr. Audrey E. Evans. she was receiving the pitcher of hope award from alex's lemonade stand.

when kathy was 18 months old, she was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. which was the same form of cancer that alex scott (alex's lemonade stand) had been diagnosed with. this disease happened to be dr. evans' specialty. after many treatments, kathy miraculously beat many, many odds and was cancer free.

dr. evans asked kathy to speak about her an amazing story, giving hope to many other families in the same situation.

kath, i am so proud of you.
