Death is not a topic that I enjoy discussing, nor is it an attractive thought. Being only 20 years old, I have only had to experience a few deaths, unexpected and known. Even though I am inexperienced in this realm, I am a quick learner and have grieved greatly for the few I have lost.Rewind to December 14th, 2002. It was a S... More..

All of my life, I have been a dog person. The cats I have known have been independent, cold animals. I was sure I did not want them until I had a large house for them to hide.

The problem with most wedding favors is that couples do not personalize. When I say "personalize," I do not mean your names on a napkin, glass, etc. Wedding favors are tokens of appreciation to your guests, but they should also be memorable.
