Summer Blitz 2009


Last weekend I was reminded of how great life is.

Over Memorial Day Weekend, I got to go camping with some good friends and shared some great memories. We canoed down a creek in Rome, Georgia and it was definitely one of the most exciting canoe trips I've ever had. There was a fallen tree in the middle of the creek that we had to lean back and drift under; at one point, the Mandy (in the canoe in the lead) yelled "Stop! Stop! There's big animals" and we got to canoe passed a head of cows in the creek with us. It rained quite a bit but despite that the trip turned out great. Plus, the Jello Shots were a great success. Jessica planned the entire trip and it turned out incredible!

With a very heavy heart I pleaded with Liane to stay in America another year but it looks like there's not much that can change her upcoming departure. She's been a great friend to both Jessica and myself and we hate to see her go. It's like having a small kitten that you love and then one day when you open the door it runs out into the wild unknown of Germany. Be safe out there, little kitten! Come back soon! We have milk. And also dippin dots ice cream.

I got to share a lovely Memorial Day with Jessica. No matter what challenges we face, we face them together and it makes everything seem alright knowing that I'll always have her by my side. She is a wonderful person and I'm so lucky to have her in my life. We've got an exciting summer ahead of us.
