Today is my middle son’s 22nd birthday. The same son who both graduated college and got married earlier this month. Needless to say, we’ve been partying with Wyatt a lot lately. Which is great, because he’ll soon be out on his own, and I won’t be around to snatch random hugs whenever the urge strikes.
So in honor of Wyatt, I thought I’d share some photos, play a game, and offer up some gifts.
Wyatt is a huge Star Wars fan, so before the wedding, he and his groomsmen created this awesome “Force Push” moment. Isn’t it great? Not only did they add a little Star Wars flavor here, but his tie featured tiny Millennium Falcons and all of the male wedding party (including both dads) wore Star Wars themed socks under their fancy suits.
Game & Giveaway
Since Wyatt has just started his happily ever after journey, I thought we could play a game celebrating romance and true love. And since I just happen to have a brand new book out, there will be two autographed copies of In Honor’s Defense up for grabs.
Game
Use either “Honors” or “Defense” to make a romantic acrostic. Form a sentence using words that start with each letter in the chosen word.
Here’s an example:
H – Hope
O – Overcomes
N – Numerous
O – Obstacles, making
R – Romance
S – Sweet
If you need to add an extra word or two to round out the sentence, like I did, that’s fine, but the fewer extra words, the better the acrostic. My favorite two acrostics will win!
Happy wordsmithing!

I can’t do those things, and I already have a copy of the book (and already read and reviewed it!!). I have to admit, I’m a tad disappointed the series ended!! I have to admit, Rawley stole my heart!!
Thank you so much for leaving a review, Trudy! That makes such a difference. And I know what you mean about Rawley. He and Abner stole my heart, too. Those two might have to make another appearance one of these days. 🙂
Oh, I’d love that!!!! Yes, Abner, too!!!
