Congratulations To Brenda Matthews 5-11-10 Brenda Matthews drops us a note to update us on what she's up to. Brenda's former "hunky builder boyfriend" Kenny Gardner is now her "Hunky Husband".

They "...survived a 3 1/2 year commuter relationship (Orlando to MD), and a motorcycle accident (that left Kenny in the hospital for nearly a month) at the same time that CC held me to that pesky non-compete. We made it through - and there could be more adventures on the way! Never a dull moment!..."
