This completes our 2007 tour. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! I feel so blessed that my Father in Heaven blessed me with 3 beautiful children and a loving husband to remind me of His love for me and all of us; His children. May we all give thanks to Him for the greatest gift...Jesus Christ our Savior.
Much Love,
Stephanie Orullian and Family
