Stunning Finish . . . Stunning Season!

What a season!  What a series!  What a finish!
If you live in the Chicago area you know what I’m talking about . . .
Our Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup last night after a tough tough series with Boston.  The Hawks gave fans a magical season . . . a season to remember . . . a season I hate to see end.  There was so much I loved about this team this year but the one thing in particular was that they were a “team” mentally and physically . . . they talked the talk and walked the walk.  At no time in any interview all year did I hear one of the players taking individual credit . . . it was always the team . . . the guys . . .  “we” . . .  our goal.  They are a class act team . . . a team that young kids can look up to . . . a team I’m proud to love!

The Wedding

A wedding . . . a ceremony between two people
Two people making the commitment to love each other through good times . . . and hopefully through the rough patches as well
Family and friends celebrating and sharing in the love

I just got back from Marquette Michigan where I celebrated with my 40+ year friends.  One of my friend’s daughter married her prince charming!  We spent the weekend laughing and crying . . . happy tears of course and loving that we were able to share this special day. 
The wedding ceremony was held in Presque Isle  Park which overlooks Lake Superior. A perfect day . . . sun glistening over the lake, temperature around 75 degrees . . .  truly a picture perfect backdrop!
The bride so beautiful in a gorgeous dress suited for a princess.  I honestly I believe she had to win the prize for the most excited bride ever.  I don’t think she stopped smiling for 3 days!

Sharing these special times with friends . . . friends that you love like family . . . truly priceless!
