Ms. Viv 'Nim Ends 2011 With Great News!

Hey there, Ms. Viv ‘Nim Fanaticals!

First of all, I humbly apologize for the unexpected one-month hiatus, but I have a good reason.  For one thing, my second book, Vivian Jewel Jones: Life, Love, and Strawberry Seven-Up Cake, is due to make its debut sometime in the upcoming new year.  In preparing for the release my second book, I have also been working  on my third book.

In light of the excitement, I have some great news involving Ms. Viv ‘Nim.  See if you can keep up with it all… LOL!

• Duane & Sarah Anoai are expecting… that’s right!  Our little princess-turned-queen is an expectant mother.  Even bigger news from the Anoai household: Sarah is expecting twins!  You could imagine the reaction from both of their families, as they revealed the exciting news on Christmas Day. Congratulations to the Anoai Family on their additions.  Also important to point out: the due date is sometime in September 2012.
• Sarah Elizabeth is not the only one who is expecting.  Her best friend Amy Rochelle Newhart is also pregnant.  Amy and her husband Travis received the news around the Thanksgiving  holiday, with the due date expected sometime in May 2012.  Congratulations to Travis & Amy Newhart.
• And yet, more congratulations go out to Howard Allen Douglas and Jessica Dawn Torres (pictured above).  It was on Saturday, December 17, 2011, that Howard proposed to Jessica in a uniquely creative way, and Jessica lovingly said yes.  Both Mr. Douglas and Miss Torres are scheduled to wed in June 2012.  Once again, congratulations to the future newlyweds.

We would also like to acknowledge some December birthdays:

• Happy Birthday to Olivia Denise Parker, who turned 33 years old on December 3.
• Happy Birthday to Barbara Louise Zuckerman, who turned 25 years old on December 7.
• Happy Birthday to Thelma Jean Davis, who turned 81 years old on December 8.
• Happy Birthday to Theodore Marvin Drozdowski, who turned 46 years old on December 17.

This is all of the news that we have for you today.  Consider this the last blog of 2011.  Until New Year 2012, take care, love you all, and God Bless.
