Summer Celebrations

I haven't announced any birthdays or other milestones since June. Without further ado, herrrrrrrrrre we go:

July 18: Happy 5th Birthday, Rachel! I remember the day when Rachel (my cousin and goddaughter) was born. It was also the day I purchased the Oldsmobile Alero that I still drive. We had a fun time celebrating Rachel's birthday the following weekend, but I couldn't help but occasionally think about the fact that the extended warranty on my car is now expired. :)

July 20: Happy Birthday, Uncle Jerry!

July 30: Happy Birthday, Adam W.! Adam has his own blog, but he hasn't updated it in a while.

August 5: Happy Birthday, Ella! My niece / goddaughter is now three years old. She's tons of fun. I was happy to give her two CARS toys that she didn't have yet. More on that story here.

August 7: Happy Birthday, Eric!

August 8: Happy Birthday, Tanner!

August 18: Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad!
August 18: Happy Anniversary, Andrew and Holly!

August 21: Happy Birthday, Gina!

Okay, I think I'm caught up. I'd also like to say Congratulations! to Adam H. and Allison, who got married on August 5. Here's a picture of the happy couple.


I have a few more bits of news to share, but they can wait for another post. For now, it's sleepytime.
