We watched her on "Are You Being Served?" when we were growing up. I still try to catch it when it's on.

Dying 9-Year-Old Girl 'Weds' Friend

This will make you tear up.

(Feb. 24) - Jayla Cooper's dying wish came true as she married her friend in a dream wedding in Texas.

Jayla, who's just 9 years old, likely has only weeks to live after having battled leukemia for the last two years, reports WFAA-TV.

"We didn't expect to do this when she was 9 years old, but she has taught us all how to love each other and to be strong," said Lisa Cooper, Jayla's mother.

In the symbolic ceremony, put together in less than a week, Jayla wore a white dress and walked down the aisle on her father's arm.

She "married" Jose Griggs, a young boy who's also facing illness. The two youngsters, who met in the hospital, vowed to be friends forever.

"He's very cute, and I love him," Jayla said of her 7-year-old groom.

Small Update

Well, I've fallen off my posting every day. Told you guys it would happen.

• MLB spring training starts today. Listening to the Angels playing the White Sox right now.
• I have an awful feeling that I'm nearing the plateau I always hit in my fitness quest. MUST BREAK THROUGH!! ("No jiggle" is my new mantra.)
  
• I've gotten hooked on Twitter this week. You'll notice the app to the right that shows my status.

I guess that's about it. You can now see why I haven't posted...that and I haven't seen any cute animal stories lately.

September 1st Deadline

So, I've made it official. I'm going to post pictures from before I started my healthy lifestyle and from a little more than two years into it. I think this will make me stay on track. I've even put a countdown clock on my work desktop. Check back in on September 1st and see if 1) I stuck to my word and 2) I really look good ;).

Feel free to check back in often between now and then too...you know...just for kicks.
