This Saturday come join me and my husband at the "Love at Breathtaking Heights" show at the Metropolitan Club.  Speaking of heights, you all should come just to support my husband, Johnny, with his, um, fear of heights.  You know I gotta keeper when he's willing to brave 64 stories to help me mingle with the newly engaged. I'm bringing albums, canvas art prints, my new Mac with wedding slideshows and giving away a free engagement session, so bring a friend and come say "hi!"

Here are more details:

Their chemistry is AMAZING.

Over the holidays I visited one of my dearest friends' family. Richelle and I met in college as RA's (resident advisers) in a freshman-only dorm at Ohio State University. That year was a doozy, but I could count on Richelle to make me laugh, especially while singing on the top of our lungs. We've been through a lot together since then, but she's the kind of friend you can be yourself around and our silences are always comfortable.

So it doesn't surprise me that her son, Landon, is a very well-behaved, smart and adorable little boy. Richelle is a WONDERFUL mother. I had so much fun playing in the snow, visiting the light show at the Cincinnati zoo (including Santa), and playing with his new miniature bowling game. Richelle also has haircuts down to a science thanks to Landon's love of lollipops. He normally doesn't get any sweets, except for after a haircut. He sat so still, even with bits of hair falling in his eyes.


My heart just melts for this little kid.

Thanks to Richelle, her husband, Josh, and Landon for making my visit so special.

Love ya!
