the long-awaited grill

after nearly 2 years of marriage we have finally purchased the barbecue that our parents have been contributing to as a wedding (and birthday and Christmas since it took so long) gift.



it's a holland grill, which my family tends to believe is the best type in the world, and it had better be since our particular model came with a 20 year warranty.



we made breakfast on it on sunday, which was not the only thing we made, but perhaps the most fun!



thanks moms and dads!!

we like our car

we went to ocean shores a couple weeks ago for brian's job.



brian was very excited about the tracks showing our new car's turning radius.



she also enjoys watching the waves and long walks on the beach.

for matt

remember the christmas present you sent us with the hand-decorated paper bag packaging? i believe that the post office responded to your note about proper packaging. weird.

happy birthday, little brother!

we miss you!!!! i like that you are now 26 and i am 27 because it makes me feel young. :)

Happy Birthday Christy!!

happy birthday to my little sister-in-law. i know this is a day early but i'm not sure that i will get to the computer on your actual birthday. i'll try hard though, because i was really trying to find a funny and embarrassing picture to post, but for some reason i cannot access them from this computer. hope you have a good one and we can't wait to see you soon.
