The wedding plans for Joel & Kira are in full force. The wedding will be June 11, 2016. Wow! That’s soon!
They are planning to have the wedding ceremony in our yard overlooking the lake and then have the reception and dance at Kira’s dads airplane hangar. We have mega-amounts of work to do to our yard before it’s “wedding-ready”, but the weather is supposed to get nice starting today, so we will need to get out there and encourage the grass and flowers to grow!
I made my granddaughter the flower girl dress that she will be wearing for the wedding. It is so fun to make pretty things like that, and of course, she is adorable in it! I’m now working on favors for the guests.
I love weddings and I love making my yard look pretty, so this is a perfect project for me. And the great part of all of that is that Joel has met a beautiful young lady who he wants to spend the rest of his life with and I couldn’t be happier for both of them.
I just sent off two books to Litfire Publishing as they requested that they represent our book at Book Expo America which is being held in Chicago this year on May 11, 12 & 13. We are very excited to have this opportunity. Our book will be available to thousands of investors from all over the world. We sincerely hope that some agency/investor will be interested in helping us make our book available to the thousand upon thousands of people who are stricken with a cancer diagnosis every year. We hope our inspirational story can get in the hands of those who truly need a positive story with a positive outcome.
We just want to let everyone know how excited we are about Standing Tall – On One Leg. A new publication company (Litfire Publishing) will be providing a second publication of our book and it will be out about the first March, 2016. This same publishing company will be representing our book at Book Expo America, an international trade show that is being held in Chicago on May 11, 12 & 13. We are super-excited to have a second publication as well as representation at this show. We are hoping that through this exposure, Standing Tall – On One Leg, will get in the hands of those who can truly use the inspiration and encouragement to face whatever battle lies in front of them.
More excitement: Wedding bells for Joel & Kira – June 11, 2016. More on that to come!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of lots of fun times with family and friends and good food.
Now, onto Christmas!
We will be starting our month of December with a holiday book signing at Bethany Books in Brainerd on Friday, December 4th from 11:00 – 2:00. There will be other authors signing their books at the same time. I was part of a joint book signing this summer and it was ALOT of fun. Sure would like to see you there.
Merry Christmas and remember “Jesus is the Reason for the Season”!
Kathy and Joel Soukup were recently interviewed by Studio 5 KSL Interview With Kathy And Joel Soukup in Salt Lake City, Utah about their journey while dealing with cancer, its after effects, as well as the “Standing Tall: One Leg” book they have available.
“A wonderful story of a family’s journey through the cancer diagnosis of a young man. There are tears, laughter and the celebration of life throughout the book. A must read on everyone’s list…young, old and in-between.”
