                                        Wednesday, January 5, 2011. If I Had a Sports Blog. There have been so many happenings in sports lately that I have been writing a million blogs in my head! So this post will be a compilation of all my sports thoughts recently:. The Winter Classic: Talked about for months, this event was hyped to the max, as arguably, it should have been. I work with the "hockey dudes", so hockey is talked about nonstop all year long. Therefore, I know wayyyyyy. Pitt Football: The ripple effects of this debacle will be s...

                                        Thursday, August 11, 2011. So, most who know me won't be surprised that I have been planning Bethany's wedding for years.perhaps more than a decade : ). I have been enamored for A LONG TIME with all things wedding. Gauzy, flowing, white material just mesmerizes me, I admit it! I cannot pass a bridal store without at least window shopping but most times, entering and drooling. I have said countless times to owners of said boutiques, "let me know when you want to retire or need help". One thing Bethany is ...

                                        http://queenpatty.blogspot.com/2011/09/rainbow.html
                                        Thursday, September 1, 2011. On the night that Bethany met Brad, I had the strangest thing happen to me. Bethany had gone to her very good friend, Erin's wedding. She participated in the wedding by doing a reading. That same evening, Jon and I went out to dinner in Wexford. As we were coming home across the Red Belt, a beautiful rainbow came into view, high in the sky. The odd thing was, it was a bright sunny day with not a drop of rain. Where did that come from? What do you think? A message from God?

                                        Saturday, January 1, 2011. There has to be something very close to perfect in the number 1-1-11! Another 365 days lie before us, fresh, unspoiled, ready to be written on like the crisp pages of an empty journal. In order to make that visit, Jon had to stay home with the 3 little ones in our care. When I left the house, it was a chaotic mess of toys and toy parts from one end to the other. I truly was wondering whether I could walk out of that mess and leave it for later times. 14 mile bike hike.

                                        Tuesday, August 30, 2011. The Truth, Part 2. THE DRESS. The search for the perfect dress. Now that the wedding is over, all can be revealed. If you read my previous post, you know Bethany tried on (due to my love of all things wedding) MANY dresses over the years. To say hundreds would be exaggerating; but not by much. They all were too formal, too poufy, to not-Beth. I took the dress to the cashier and said, "What is the deal with these bridal gowns? Who cares if she likes it or not, she can cut it off ...

                                        Thursday, September 8, 2011. I just loved that Bethany wore white, lacy, fingerless gloves during her ceremony. Those gloves belonged to her paternal grandmother, Carolyn Grubbs, who went to be with the Lord when Bethany was four years old. That served her well when she received Christ as Savior in her 40's. Always a church-goer, she never really heard or understood the salvation plan until then. She used her hands to give others a warm hug, a touch on the shoulder. She used them to grade papers and ...
