20 September 2019 is the date the CJ and Phil officially became husband and wife in a simple ceremony at the courthouse in Bloomington in the presence of a few friends. They delighted in taking their eleven year relationship to the next level in a simple ceremony at noon and enjoying the rest of the day savoring a beautiful day in their adopted hometown. We’re thrilled for them and wish them an incredible life together!
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
Many blessings on the happy couple for a long and happy life together!
