F.I.F.T.E.E.N. Quinceanera… I love the Latin American culture, and how they celebrate this time of life in a young lady. It marks the passage from girlhood to womanhood, and It’s truly a beautiful celebration. It’s similar to how we celebrate sweet 16 in the U.S.

The older I get, the more I cherish the people we get to meet… I say, “we get to meet” because it’s a blessing! We truly cherish the relationships that we have made and kept over the years, and we are so old now that I find myself frequently saying, “Oh yeah… we’ve been knowing so and so for over a decade!” LOL!

Perfection.  What does that really mean?  If it doesn't exist as people claim, then how does the definition of it exist?  In my opinion, perfection is real.... it's just about perspective.  Looking through these photos once again, I remember this day so clearly because it was perfect.

As I grow older and older, I realize more and more that life for anyone and everyone is full of joys and challenges.  There are days that are the best, but there are days that fall short.  But, there's this thing called hope that allows us to cling and to hold onto something much greater called love.  We have faith that love is what gives us any reason to live this life and to live it fully and abundantly.

You know it's an amazing wedding when my wife comes to me and says, "If we ever get married to each other again, I'd do it just like this...".  Yes, it was that beautiful.  The venue, the style, the colors, the bridal party, the guests, and of course the dapper groom and his gorgeous bride.  And can we talk about her dress please?

Just in case you don't know yet, things happen.  We can control only so much.  Sometimes, there's nothing we can do.  Like at all... That's where love comes in.  When love enters, it just makes everything better.  It makes us stop and realize that that's the only thing that matters in life.  In the end, that's all we need.
