December 23rd! I can hardly believe it. Tonight it is 4th night of Chanukah and Mara and Grant are only exchanging gifts that cost $1 or less. Grant has been (and continues to be) the lucky recipient of many ‘finds’ that Mara has managed to gather over the years that have been most recently left over from packing up and moving studios this summer.

Yes, the rumors on the street are true. Mara and Grant are finally going to get hitched. I am very happy for them. Sometimes (a lot of the time) I am pretty sure I like Grant more than Mara.

When all is said and done, Mara promised I could add ‘wedding planner’ to...

If you can’t make it to Nashville before the 9th, you can at least read a review of Mara’s show.
