Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Birthday, Uncle Glenn and Moving...

Well, we celebrated my birthday yesterday and over the weekend. We did dinner with Larry, Marlene and Tara on Friday Night at Bryant Station. The food was really really good. Then, my friend Iva took me to see Mandy Moore in concert on Saturday night. We had a great time at that as well.


Sunday was a little bittersweet, as Uncle Glenn past away Saturday Night. We all rode out to Mom and Dad's new place and got to see the house and have a BBQ. Dad had to leave after dinner to go see Aunt JoAn and Janet. We'll be doing the memorial service on Friday. This is Glenn with Robert at the Reunion a few weeks ago. My best memory of him right now is him, in that orange shirt, riding that bike in the background. Such youthful spirit. I'll really miss him. Perhaps I can take on the ice cream making from here on. It probably won't be the same, though.


Last night Jesse and Lindsey met Steven and I at the Portland City Grill for my birthday celebration! We had drinks at happy hour and those gigantic cookies. It was a great end to the day and a good way to celebrate. Thanks again guys!

In the midst of all these things going on, Steven's accepted a new job in Sherwood OR. So, we'll be needing to find a place and move in the next two weeks or so. We're looking for a townhouse or larger apartment in the Tigard/Tualatin/Sherwood area. If you've got some information, please pass it on!
