2014 was an awesome year for me. Here are some of the highlights. My son and daughter in law moved back from Texas and San Francisco in March 2014 after being away for 8 years! My daughter was married on March 8, 2014 My hubby and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary on April 20th and renewed our vows. We BBQ'd, ate BBQ, enjoyed swimming, dining out with family and friends Sad news was I had to put down my 2 boys Bradley (18) and Elvis (16 1/2) on October 3, 2014 My son took me on a road trip for my birthday (Nov 20-23, 2014) to Tupelo and Memphis to see Elvis birthplace and Graceland lit at Christmas time It truly was an incredible year!!!  Hope 2015 is as wonderful...
