Hey Sweetie, haven't been on here in awhile. Couldn't find it and boom, finally did. The wedding was wonderful. Aja and Chris are so happy and so are we for them. It was nice to have so many family and friends to celebrate with us. Your whole family came and it was awsome... Billy and I talked about how much we miss you and that a day doesn't go by that we don't think about you. Actually we get to see each other pretty often. He comes to Houston alot with his job. You'd love little Jack. He's so precious. I tell him about his Uncle Jack all the time. He just smiles...Well my baby, I better get my booty moving. Love u. I think I'll go outside and throw you a kiss. You'd better catch it. Talk to you later my angel.....
