Bryan and Rhian came back from their honeymoon looking rested and happy. Papa Bear and I are VERY happy to have them home for now.

I know (TRUST ME) how happy you all were that they were apart so the poems were flowing, but I'm of the camp that hopefully Bryan will write even MORE now. Or at least will once he's not busy sucking face at every available moment. I say that with a great deal of love, as you all should know by now.

A Life Without Rain hits the shelves today, and let me tell you, I have never BEEN so proud. Of course the boy gave me my advance copy, but I'm going to go out and buy a copy for all of my friends. Trust me, it's worth it!

Do I sound like the proud, gushing Mom? Because I ABSOLUTELY am.
