Wine has always been like liquid to my soul, especially with others.  It has brought me romance, deepened understandings, carried me through rough times, bonded me with new friends.... this night, it was MA and I at are old school best, being silly and realizing the beauty of life and the gift that we have.  Just the week prior I had been betrayed by someone I loved and trusted.  But within the week, I was thinking of the miracle of optimism through hard circumstance, and when I opened my eyes, there were hundreds of other blessing staring  me in the face.  Life is so good, so powerful, so short to waste on anyone who can't see you when you're right in front of them.  Life is too short to waste your time thinking on someone that is no longer a part of your life.  They will only hurt you as much as you let them, and I didn't let it hurt me much.  Thank you Mary Ann and Don, for your incredible support and that deep bond of the universe and humanity that I share with you, that allows me to look at such scenarios as pitty in the grand scheme of our existence.  Thank you RED RED wine, for the comfort and fun times you have brought me throughout the years. 

The wine is just a way through which you release the beautiful being living inside of you. 

I love you Desiree and I love you Mary Ann.  I am sooo glad you have each other.  There is nothing best in the world than a true friendship that overcomes the tests of time, distance, and other unexpected events!!  I love you both very much and Mary Ann, Congratulations in your engagement!! 

Hey there, this is my first time on here in awhile, and I just wanted to say that I loove the pics! :) Plus, Mary Ann, what a spectacular idea that little photo album was for Dez, I would've got a little misty too...  Okay, alright, I probably would've been sobbing (you know me Dez ;-) )
