For higher or worse, soccer will take a again seat for me this Sunday as my second oldest daughter Abby will get married to Colin, a terrific younger man.

I’m shocked my Payments-loving daughter didn’t seek the advice of the NFL schedule when she booked this date, however such is life. I nonetheless love her. Colin is a Giants fan, however I nonetheless love him too. I determine it needs to be straightforward to transform him to Payments Mafia.

But when not, our household nonetheless wins the day as we acquire an excellent new teammate in Colin, and Abby good points the equal of a beginning left sort out that can at all times defend her from onrushing hurt. Cheers to a cheerful life, Abby & Colin!
