Dear Aimee and Jim,

To the Newly Engaged Couple!!!!

I am so happy for you both!!! I know that this is an exciting time for you. A few tips for you, Jim

1.) Aimee has had this day planned for many years. We used to joke that all she needed to do was "Insert Groom"...guess what? It's you!!!

2.) Your two favorite words for the next 50 years.... "Yes, Dear" (Be careful when using those words though)

3.) Journal readings may become a nightly ritual.

4.) Cherish every moment you spend with her. She is an amazing woman. Be an ear to listen, and a shoulder to cry on. Just cherish her for being her!!!

A few pointers for Aimee:

1.) When he puts on the "wonderful" green shirt, just smile. When he cuts an expensive tie, just smile:)

2.) Every once and a while, let him think he is the king of the castle, but really know you are the queen.

3.) Every once and a while, give him a massage when he doesn't ask for it. Especially if you know he had a long day.

4.) Cherish every moment with him. He is a great guy.

Aimee and Jim......I am so happy for you. You are an amazing couple...

All my Love, Cara

I went home this weekend to help celebrate Jacob's 16th birthday bash!!! He had some friends over on Friday night and then on Saturday we had family and friends over. We had a great time and boy things have changed since I turned sixteen.....he recieved some money. Maybe he can help pay for the braces he starts next week.
