Photo board:

We Nile Akin's family are making a family photo board we thought it would be awesome for each family to do so also.

And.. we are planning to set up a cam and Skype so that any family members that can't make the event may view the event from home Via.. Skype.

Any one that misses this event is missing an opportunity of your lifetime to connect with family members and memories.

We are also looking into hotels and someone suggestion the orphanage where we stayed to david and dawns wedding.. David will post when he has this information.

If you have more ideas please post them.

Family & Friends

We all have a cherished garden we tend -
It is planted with love of family and friends.
The memories and dreams we treasure and share
Are like beautiful roses found blooming there.
The comfort and care on which we depend
Is given with love between family and friends.
The sunshine of laughter and rain of a tear
Only make our love grow with each passing year.
We may all be ourselves with no need to pretend
Because of the love of family and friends;
They notice the rainbows and weather the showers.
They overlook weeds and praise all our flowers.
The most valuable thing is the time that we spend
Tending this garden with family and friends.
When counting our blessings, we know from the start
That family and friends come first in our heart.
