Well, 17 degrees and a few hours later was not enough to keep us. By group consensus, we were leaving. What? I left Florida to witness THE INAUGURATION and we’re leaving? Say it isn’t so! But, I had an out. Courtney, the dutiful and faithful husband that he is, asked me, “What do you [...]

No, we hadn’t lost our minds! We wanted to be like the millions of others anticipated to be there to witness a moment in history! We were ready! We were layered (seven to be exact). We even doubled up on our gloves (and hand warmers), doubled on hats and I had my Uggs, so I [...]

Anyway, we were excited about our night. We took a few pictures in the lobby of [...]

Well, we certainly hit the ground running when we landed at Dulles International Airport on Saturday. We had just enough time to grab something to eat and head straight to DC. We spent one night in DC since our first event, Brian McKnight’s ball, was being held there. It was our first official event [...]

We are holding it down on our way to DC! Our journey began early Saturday morning, January 17, in Orlando, FL! Our flight wasn’t until 9:30 a.m., but not knowing if there were eager beavers like us heading to the airport or what the crowds would be like, we arrived at the airport [...]
