Destiny....not just a strippers name

Who says there is no such thing as destiny?

I found this website (click here) that let's you look up certain dates in history to see what the #1 song was on that day. So I looked up my birthday and what was the number one song on April 3rd 1977? "Dancing Queen" by ABBA...yeah my first thought was oh great dancing queen...come on...give me a break...why me? So then the twist comes in...I go look up Elizabeth's and what just so happens to be the #1 song on April 16th 1976? "Disco Lady" by Johnnie Taylor! How fitting is that Disco Lady and Dancing Queen were our songs!!!

To further emphasize my point we had a tough time figuring out what our wedding song was going to be. Eventually for some reason we settled on "This is the Night" by Clay Aiken. Well guess what just so happened to be the #1 song on our wedding day? See Destiny!!!

And yes in case you were looking at the dates and trying to do the math...if you are a male then I got me an older sophisticated woman. If you are a female then Elizabeth robbed the cradle and got herself a young stud. Okay so maybe the stud part is a stretch but hey I like to amuse myself.

A Tragic Loss

I just wanted to write a quick post to ask for all of your thoughts and prayers as we attempt to recover from the tragic loss that we suffered this past weekend. We new it was a dark dreary day when we woke up Saturday morning but there was no way we could have known what exactly we were in store for. It will be a tough time but we will recover. There will need to be a rebuilding phase, hopefully it won't be too long but I suspect it will likely last a couple months before we can get back to normal. This has however given us a chance to sit and reflect and you never really realize how much you miss something until it is gone, taken from you in the middle of the night....


Good Bye my Friend...you will be missed...but we shall see you soon!






Yes that's right...our local Taco Bell burnt down early Saturday morning. For those of you that know us, you know what a loss this really is. I personally think it is a conspiracy between the neighbors Tijuana Joe's and Moe's Southwestern Grille but I can't prove anything at this juncture.
