Hi Barb, congratulations to your daughter. Looks like it was a festive celebration. Sometimes I see life in chapters like a book. We go through these different chapters in our lives. When one ends, a new one starts with brand new possibilities, opportunities and stories to tell. Wishing many more happy and exciting new chapters ahead ...
