Living moment to moment.

You ever have that feeling that you want to drop everything and go a completely different direction? That is the standard mode of operations in our family as we just pop a little ol’ thought in our head and run away with it. It may not have been inherent for me, but it’s definitely rubbed off on me from friends who've done the same. I never thought of leaving Houston, but in 1994, three weeks after visiting Miami I was in a moving truck. Since then I have gone from San Diego to Tampa and finally Orlando, adding three kids along the way. So, throw in a few years with a Subway franchise (don’t even think about it), and a hard-earned bachelor’s degree, I think I have a pretty good list of adventures to speak of.

This is just a very brief illustration of the ease in which I am ready to make a change in my life. I mention all this because recently a friend decided to give up the corporate world to pursue a rather zany idea, but apparently not in Vegas.  He, along with his partner James Cass, dreamed up Las Vegas’ first mobile wedding service. The Las Vegas Wedding Wagon may be kitschy, but it’s definitely proving to be innovative. What he didn’t plan for is the whirlwind of media attention the wedding service has received just in the first week of business.  Not only has it gone national, hitting every media outlet in the states, it has gone global with attention in Europe, Russia, and even an interview from South Korea.  

Andy, like me, has made many changes in his life, sliding into one new adventure after another over the years. However, I’m pretty sure the Las Vegas Wedding Wagon is his most exiting one yet and we couldn’t be more proud of him. The media coverage has been tremendous and seeing Andy’s face on national television because he had the courage to take the leap is more than exciting, it’s inspiring.
