Soooooooooo serious, sailor!

My honey on the drums playing with CJB, The Cris Jacobs Band...his new gig! It was a great night out with amazing people! Hell of a show!! The limo ride there and back was not too shabby either:) We felt famous! LOL

Thinking of you, Dad!

The overwhelming love and support coming our way for Charlie and his upcoming surgery has been so amazing! Friday is the big day and he is as positive-spirited as ever! There is something to be admired about a person who doesn't complain and just smiles and goes with the motions of life. Dad, I am so proud of you and I love you so much! Friday will go great and you will be pain-free in no time. I can't wait until you are out of the hospital and home relaxing! One step closer to getting better!!! Let all of the love that has been sent your way guide you through the spinal surgery. Thinking of you constantly. xoxoxo
