The magazine is moments away from jumping off the shelves and into your wedding planning hands. Take a look behind the scenes as we watch the magazine take shape. They are coming off the press at Colorgraphics Printing as I type this blog. Thanks Troy for making it all happen! We are totally on the edge of our seats waiting for the final product to come in. Look for the Summer 2009 Metropolitan Bride Magazine to hit shelves at Barnes and Noble sometime next week,and other stores within three weeks, you won't be disappointed.

Field Trip!

Yesterday the Metropolitan Bride girls had the honor of joining Camp Barnabas for their evening schedule as "Party People". We arrived late in the afternoon and received a first class tour of the camp. We all hopped on a golf cart and wheeled around the camp. What a history! In 2005 Extreme Makeover Home Edition did an amazing job of updating the summer home away from home for these hundreds of campers. How proud Camp Barnabas should be to have such an amazing ministry.

For those of you unfamiliar with Camp Barnabas it is a camp in Southwest Missouri that is dedicated to children with mental and physical disabilities. At Camp Barnabas the disabilities disappear and they can be true kids at camp. The mood there is amazing. I am not sure I have witnessed anything like it. Free spirits, gorgeous scenery, yummy food, hilarious games and amazing friendships. We had the luxury of being escorted by Miss Lauren a former camper herself. Lauren and her desire to be a normal kid at camp was the inspiration for the camp in the first place. Let's just say we were among "Camp Royalty".

If you ever get the chance to take some time to be a part of this ... as a 'Party Person' you should. It is one of those things you will later describe as 'a life changing experience'.
