Aaron's b-day...a bit late

Okay, so my sister-in-law, Taunya is anxious to see pics from Aaron's birthday party.
Fortunately, the weather cooperated. Otherwise we would have been in a bit of trouble. Our home would not have accomodated the 25 people who showed up. We are truly blessed with some great friends over here.
Here is a picture of Andi, Marissa and I.

Tony, Roberta, Jean and Jim are two couples we met at our marriage retreat in March. We do a Bible study with them twice a month, along with Stephanie and Antuan (not pictured)

Have you seen a 34 year old more excited about an ice cream cake??!!

Last weekend, we went to the British Open at Royal Birkdale near Liverpool. It was awesome! Although, the weather could have cooperated a bit more, but this is England.... Saturday was in the 60s with 40-50mph wind gusts and rain. Sunday was still windy but at least the sun was out. We enjoyed seats at the 18th hole grandstand for most of the time, but were able to walk around the course and see much of the action. It was fun to see the players up close! At one point we could reach out and practically touch Phil Mickelson...which was not good for him because it meant he was in the rough and not where he wanted to be. And, on the last day, we were able to watch all of the players walk up to the final hole. Although the ending wasn't a nail-biter, it was fun none-the-less. I was rooting for Greg Norman, but was excited Padraig won.
There were 4 other dentists that went and we all had a great time (the only downside was returning at 3:30am on monday morning just to have to be in the OR for a 6 hour case at 7 am--nothing Starbucks couldn't handle)
We all checked into our hotel in Manchester and went out for a night on the town.



Well, I am having trouble transferring photos from Chris's email to this blog. My camera was confiscated on sunday at security...long story...so I will post more photos when I can. We will be without the internet for about a week during our move, so we will post pics when we get settled.
