August 14, 2010 Saturday evening, Glenn and I attended Chris and Matt’s wedding reception. I wish Ruben could have been there but he was home visiting family. Chris and Matt are an unforgettable couple. It’s impossible to think of one without thinking of the other. They share their faith, an enthusiasm for helping others and [...]

May 22, 2010 The guy pictured above with Ruben is my friend, Chris. We grew up in the same small town, but never interacted with each other until our paths crossed in Aggieland.

Once again, Brian was zipping around the library campus (on his Segway) doing his part to make sure the festivities that day went as planned. The celebration began with a flyover of [...]
July 1, 2009 Wednesday night, Ruben and I joined a group of friends at Jess and Kevin’s home for a surprise birthday party. Chris, a fellow 1969 baby hit the big 4-Oh. His hubby, Brian, did a wondeful job of getting everyone together, and I’m surprised we were able to keep this secret celebration from [...]
This year, my birthday fell on a Friday! That morning, I went to work the office with my head held high. I was determined not to be one of those people afraid to be 40. I’m going to be like Molly Shannon’s character from Saturday Night Live who was proud of her age….”I’m 40 years old and I’m lovin’ it…lovin’ it….lovin’ it!”
