Well I have survived the last week, amazing I know! I have a random assortment of things to write about.
1. Today my parents have been married for 33 years. Amazing! Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad! I love you.
2. Reunion: Everything went well, it was nice to see a few old friends that I really hadn’t seen or heard anything about over the years. We had two separate events, one night in Glen Ellyn at a local bar, and one night downtown at a bar called Fizz. I enjoyed the night in Glen Ellyn a little more. The first ½ hour of each night was pretty awkward, but a beer can always help with that. By the time the middle of the second night rolled around I was worn out and tired of “schmoozing” and wanted to have a conversation with someone where I didn’t have to bring them up to date on my life. Overall, fun but it wore me out! Thankfully I wont have to go through it again for 10 more years!
3. Horticulture: I love the plumeria plant. I fell in love when we were in Hawaii on our honeymoon. It is the best smelling thing on Earth, no really! And it’s very pretty, and comes in a lot of colors. This past summer, in Kauai I bought a plumeria plant root and brought it home. Apparently Hawaii has no problem with you taking plants from the island as long as you pay up. I got home and planted it, and waited. I had done the same thing when we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, but the plant did nothing! So frustrating. But this time little white flowers started popping out. It’s like a little piece of Hawaii right on my deck. I love it!
4. Marathon: A few weeks ago John spent a Sunday morning taking a run along the lakefront. I went with him and decided to take some pictures of the beautiful Lake Michigan beach at sunrise.
And their off! Good luck on Sunday John! You will do great! I am proud of you!

And I vote to remove John's pasty legs. Not just from your blog, but from existence.

Um, that would be 37 years.
oops, that didn't earn me any points huh?
Christy, hey, sorry to use your blog for personal correspondence, but I tried to e-mail you something and it got bounced back. Can you e-mail me from your right address?
Also, yes, I second that the beer was a big help as far as making the reunion less awkward.
