shameless plug...

So, I don't normally do stuff like this but today I have a favor to ask of you, my lovely readers out there. TLC is running a contest for a free honeymoon and I entered a photo to try and win.

If you could go here and vote for me, that would be just PEACHY! :)  You can vote once a day, every day. 

If you can't find it look under the heart warming section or search Lindsey A. The photo is this one:


Back story? My Dad was in a horrific accident on Father's Day and they weren't sure he'd live much less walk again.  His girlfriend was killed. It was a hard time for all of us. This picture was taken right after his surgeon, who agreed to come!!!, swapped out his two crutches for a cane. He walked me down so proudly and kept telling me to smile...not so easy Dad. Later he ended up dancing with me in a Father Daughter dance through the pain.  So amazing.

Other side note/shameless plug, my husband and I couldn't afford a honey moon and have yet to go on one.

And because I love him, and really the wedding was about us, a pic of the hubby and I <3

    The wedding of Lindsey and Nick was an absolutely breathtaking one... and the image above is just a perfect example!!!! I guess this is what happens when you have a teacher, who spends her entire life trying to make children strong.... marries an EMT who spends his entire life saving lives and helping people at their most vulnerable point.... you get moments that just make you happy and excited and full of emotion! Then there is her Dad, Mr. Shelley, whom worked tirelessly, through a lot of pain... because he promised his little girl that he would walk her down the aisle on her wedding day!!!! All you need is Love!!! I hope these guys get a honeymoon that gives them time to relax and be together, with absolutely nothing to clean!!!! God Bless!
