Happy Birthday Riley!

Twenty-five years ago, I was wishing for a little sister and planning on naming her Angie. Instead, I got a little brother named Riley. Who knew little brothers could be so much fun and such a pain in the butt all at the same time. 🙂

Twenty-five years later, you have a little family of your own. You have chosen a great wife (who I can now claim as my sister) and the most beautiful, perfect little baby girl. I am so proud of you and miss you everyday. Someday, we’ll live closer. I promise.

And congratulations on your victory at tock-tock!

You skunked me.

Remember it – it won’t happen again! :p

Happy Birthday Riley!

Love your big sister!

Dustin & Paige’s Baby On The Way!

I grew up in a very tiny town. Graduated from a very small high school (there were 28 in our graduating class). I moved 2,000 miles away from home and imagine the chances of being ten minutes away from one of my fellow classmates?! It’s actually very nice.

Last year, Dustin and Paige tied the knot and now they are expecting a little bundle of joy! We went over a week or so ago and checked out their new baby room. It looks pretty fantastic!

This shirt is too cute!

I really admire their ability to put a room together like this. I wouldn’t stand a chance. It looks so good all they need now is their little baby! He’s expected to be here around Christmas / New Years! What better gift could you ask for!

Sponsors and Alzheimers Memory Walk

Leave a reply

Hi Everyone!

I have signed up for the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk on October 13th in our local area.

In 2008, I lost my grandfather to Alzheimer’s. I was unable to understand what he was going thru and how to cope with the illness. Unfortunately, with most diseases we are unaware of how profound a diagnosis or a disease is until we have a loved one who is diagnosed.
Imagine being unable to recognize loved ones, forgetting precious memories or losing the ability to perform everyday functions. With contributions or a commitment to walk, we can all help to fight this disease and bring an end to Alzheimer’s.

I am walking to remember:
Paul, my grandfather. 2008
Aline, lifetime neighbor. 2012

If you are interested in signing up to walk with me or donating, please see our team website at Miles For Memories.
