They even had a photo booth and a midnight buffet at the reception! Congratulations to the happy couple - have a wonderful honeymoon! More pics below...

As you head into the holiday season....

Please keep all of our armed forces in your thoughts and prayers as they endure the holidays away from their families. Please pray for them to make it home soon...and safe. I'm sure many of you have seen this clip before but it definitely puts into perspective everything these guys & girls give up to fight for our freedoms.

Palm Springs, CA

On Friday, November 16th Cameron & I flew to CA for a nice, relaxing weekend away from home. Our friends Rob & Shannan picked us up at LAX and we drove to Palm Springs for a couple days of fun in the sun. Palm Springs is a beautiful little desert town, weather was perfect, 85 & sunny - just what the doctor ordered! It was nice to get back into summer weather, even if just for a weekend. Thanks Rob & Shannan for a fun time! See below for pics!

Listen to This!

I just received this via email and thought I would share:
"A remarkable phone call from a 12-yr old boy to Houston
radio station KSBJ FM 89.3. So profound, the station has it
posted on their website." Click here to listen to it. It's short.

Latest Results

Andon's MRI results came in today showing 20% growth since his last MRI. They did not have treatment today and will no longer be going to Riley for the same treatment they have been getting. I didn't get all the details from Janel, but they are planning to go onto another new treatment that I believe was just recently approved. They maybe getting that treatment in South Bend or Chicago, but again I haven't gotten all the details. Please keep little Andon in your prayers for him to be completely healed. The emotional roller coaster they have been riding since last October is taking it's toll. Thank you for all of the support over the past year - it means the world to Janel & Brian and the rest of our family!
