Just a little over five months.

Wow! In just a little over five months, one of my favorite women on earth gets married. I am so happy for her. She has found her match in Neil. The wedding will be at the beginning of September and we can't wait AND the bachelorette party will be a weekend on the Tennessee River at Cassie's parents' cabin. I wanted to make a list of memories about Mandy. Actually, in just over five months, you can make that Mrs. Mandy Vogeler nee Caffey.

1. She is loyal and confident, so she's not worried about getting herself stomped. i.e., she'll stick up for you.
2. She can dance. Really well. With feeling. LOL!
3. She is wonderful with children, particularly mine.
4. She is intelligent.
5. She makes me laugh non-stop every single time we ever hang out.
6. She is marrying someone that is very similar to my own husband and makes a true effort to be friends with my husband.
7. She knows when she looses an earring that no one else can find, I will go hunt it down.
8. She has very good aim when throwing peanut m&m's at people in swimming pools.
9. She is a very talented, yet humble, artist. Her paintings are divine.
10. Her mother makes the very best homemade biscuits ever.
11. I jumped off the roof of her garage in high school, busted my tail and it hurt. Mr. Charlie saw the whole thing. He didn't have time to stop me.
12. Mrs. Judy never told us when she caught us with that Zima in the garage fridge.
13. She drove a blue Corsica in high school. SWEET.
14. People flock to her.
15. She supports her friends.
16. She is a great person to counsel the young people that she helps.
17. She spends a lot of her time doing things for others.
18. She's got a brown-chicken-cow-now boat for taking to the lake this summer.
19. She is dependable. And independent. She's I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T. Do you know what that means?
