Summer fun!

This summer has been great! I just got off the phone with my friend Sarah P. and she couldn't believe that I go back overseas tomorrow and neither can I. The time here in the states has flown by but I have enjoyed every minute of it.

This past weekend was my dad's 65th birthday party and we had a blast. Old family friends as well as family from out of town came in to town to celebrate with us. Here are some photos...


Our family with my uncle Verne and his wife Cecila




Dad and his cake...note that the little pin he is wearing says "party animal" he lived up to that in his younger days



My dad, with 2 old dear friends and his brother Verne. We were able to surprise dad with his friend Tom coming from Colorado (in the black shirt). Dad loved catching up with a friend he has had since high school!
