This past weekend I missed the event of the year ... my wonderful nephew, Tyler, got married. My sister and I checked flights (many times), but it never seemed to work out. For some reason, I'm always broke during May each and every year. Who knows why that particular month is so draining ...

Anyway, as you can see from the picture he and his new wife (Malerie) are married and incredibly happy! They're high school sweethearts - she just graduated with her BS in Early Childhood Education, and he has one more year to go on his BS in Criminal Justice (then he'll head to the Game Warden Academy in Texas).

I'm so proud of him and I hate that I missed this rite of passage. I spoke with his mother for hours yesterday to hear every detail of the wedding, and from the sound of her voice it was a lovely day.

Congratulations Tyler and Malerie! I'll talk to you both when you return from Cancun!
