Wedding Weekend in Crawford

The little town of Crawford, Texas this weekend will host a very special wedding. Jenna Bush will marry at the family ranch. What I love most is that a family who could have held the wedding anywhere- chose to marry at home in Texas. What a wonderful lesson to many brides out there. Family and friends are what makes your wedding special not the amount you spend or how far your travel. Yes, I am sure they will have some wonderful flowers, food etc. But the most important part is that for years to come they will have the memory of a very special weekend spent with loved ones at the ranch! The rehearsal dinner was held in Salado according to one article which is another equally special small town in Texas. I am so happy for Jenna and her family that they are able to have a special weekend to celebrate privately. Her wedding is exactly what a wedding should be a special time for friends and family to wish the couple well as they start a new chapter in their life. Best Wishes Jenna & Henry for a long and happy marriage!

Libraries creating space for teens!

When my husband and I married years ago we chose to live in Arlington, Texas. We chose Arlington because of the wonderful public services the community offered. It has a great selection of public parks, public libraries and excellent public schools. The other night I noticed where the library there is doing some new and innovative things for teens! They have entered the world of blogging. Arlington Public Library has created a blog for teens advertising the new books in the library!They also have a new section of the library just for teens to create content. Check it out. And finally the gallery of projects created in the Studio at Arlington Public Library.

Getting teens into the public library is a challenge these days but the library in Arlington is seeking them out where they play online. It will be interesting to see how the gallery and underground area progresses over time. It is a great start in the right direction!
