con'grad'ulations.

so this is what it's like to be
prestigious...i like it.

i am so proud of you, davey.
you make me smile.

Shouldn't you be fighting dragons, in the future?

I went to the Dutch Days Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point today with my family-
and rented a Segway.

Rolling along the paths at a dizzying 5 mph
with the Final Countdown playing over and over in my head
made me pity all the leg walkers.

quotes i heart. from people i heart.

cory:

(after telling her that
we could probably just walk
to where we wanted to go)

"walk? that's how people
get kidnapped, catie."

my brother-in-law, andrew:

(after i asked him if
they wanted a griddle)

"no, i don't think so
but i love breakfast food..."

my brother, spencer:

(after telling him that
mariah carey was in the
movie "precious")

"mariah carey? she's still alive?"

alina d.:

(while taking one of her
trainers through a pretend
tour at a new job as
a wedding planner)

"...and if you're an alcoholic
we provide an open bar..."

i love you all.
thank you for
making me laugh.

(oh and jennie, i
would include a certain
conversation about
neil armstrong but i'll
let you blog about that :)

"wun wun wun wun wun".

because
he likes
to run.

thank you, dave;
for this most
special gift.
