I was a stay at home mom and loved every moment of it.  Thanks to my husband, who worked very hard so I could stay home. When the kids were grown I decided it was time to get a job again. I was really looking forward to it. After working for a CPA for a few months, I noticed it was getting hard for me to move. I thought it was just from sitting all day. As time went on I slowly started to lose my ability to even go up stairs and dress myself. I had to leave work.  After seeing the doctor, I discovered I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. Working outside the home had become an impossibility. 

     You might have heard once or twice the saying, "When God Closes a Door, He Opens a Window". I am a strong believer in just that. After many trials on different meds, and thanks to my Wonderful Doctor and her staff, Thank you Dr. Lomeo, I am glad to say I have found a great medical cocktail. Hooray for mobility and pain free days!  Although I found I still can't work outside the home I thought there has to be something I can do.  

     Here is where I got this idea. When I was married my friend gave me a coin to put in my shoe. She said it was good luck and would bring to me and my husband much happiness and good fortune.  I did use it, then passed it to my sister Nancy. I will have my 26th and Nancy will have her 21st wedding anniversary in 2009. I thought there must be something to this coin thing. So I got busy on this adventure.

     Well everything else just started out of my love for Vintage Weddings. I hope you enjoy my site.
