One of my dear friends, Kiimberlee's eldest daughter, Karissa got married yesterday. It is hard to believe that I met Kimberlee 21 years ago when Karissa was just a toddler. Philip nor Parker (they were born on each other's due date) were born yet. Yet Karissa has grown into an amazingly beautiful woman. Ready to start the next phase of her life as a wife. Karissa grew up and went to school. She eventually found her way to Fidelity where she has quickly rose through the ranks. Not surprised since her Mom was so incredibly successful during her time at Fidelity. Her Dad John also worked at Fidelity for 30 years.
So we came together on a beautiful Saturday evening to celebrate Karissa and her love of her life, Tyler. Karissa is every bit as beautiful as her mom and Tyler is handsome, almost like a Ken doll. They had a very small guest list so I felt pretty lucky to be included. My close friend Stacy was invited and attending as well so we decided to go as each other's date. They had a lovely dinner and drinks, dancing, and even a sparkler send off. It was a fantastic time!!
Here are some photos....

So we were trying to take a selfie. And the queen of selfies (Kimberlee)
asked where to look. Stacy just matter of factly said "Look at the hole.
Magic is in the hole." It hit us all funny and we laughed and laughed.
And somehow happened to snap a photo of it. |
 |
| Sweet ladies. These women are so important to me. |

| Another view. |
If I were a betting woman, I would bet that Stacy will be the next Mom we will be celebrating with as a daughter gets married. I look forward to that and coming together to support each other through life's moments.
