"A Magical Moment!"
Jessica and Jamie's day in the sun was truly a magical moment! As I reflect on the renewing of my daughters vows, the thing that stands out in my mind were the people who pulled together to execute the flawless ceremony plus the various festivities that surrounded the main event.
Thanks to one and all -------you were super!
Now I need to make sure that the same "magic" takes place with the Lori Piestewa National Native American Games! I'm confident that it will!
