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.

this past sunday, pat and i went to not 1 but 2 weddings! it actually worked out really well because one was in the afternoon in the city and the second was in the evening in the burbs.

wedding #1/ katie and chris at the independence visitor center in philadelphia. it was a great time, sorry we couldn't stay for the whole thing! katie looked absolutely beautiful! the ceremony was on a terrace that overlooked market street, with the city as the backdrop. it was so cool! loveleigh did all the print materials/signage for the event, so check out our blog! it was also great to see our minister, fr. peter mcguinness, fcm, in action!





wedding #2/ niki and jason at the rivercrest country club in oaks, pa. we had so much fun hanging out with all the lovely ladies of kelly richards' school of the dance. niki looked amazing too. it was a fabulous wedding...thanks for having us be a part of your special day :)
