How do you remember your childhood? Do you remember the good and bad times equally? What certain events stand out more clearly than others? Birthdays, deaths, births, vacations? And does your perception of your childhood shape your views now as an adult?

Edit: You can be as specific or as vague as you like. If Uncle Frank touched you in an inappropriate way, this probably isn’t the best place for that (at least I wouldn’t want to share that here).

Stacie and I had a great time throwing away trash yesterday. The normal trash guys won’t pick up big stuff, but you can call ahead of time to have them come out and get it. For a good couple hours we loaded up trash 10 ft. high outside our garage. It feels REALLY GOOD to get all that junk out of our house.

After our exciting afternoon of trash we went out to Lonestar for Kurtii’s 25th bday. Man, lots of birthdays lately. In typical Kurtis fashion he posed for this wonderful picture below. Kurtis is the expert at getting a good picture in one try. Happy birthday dude.

Got some fun photos to share with you!

Stacie and I attended Lydia and Joe’s wedding recently (Lydia works with Stacie). It was lovely and we had a great time. It’s cool to have had that experience and understand what the Bride and Groom are going through.

The other night we made dinner! Yup, all by ourselves. We don’t have a BBQ yet, so we broiled steak. Ick. Not only was it in the oven, but it’s an electric oven, so we had hot coils above our meat doing the cooking. NO NO NO. Meat needs flame, no beef about it. haha, beef.

My brother has reached the ripe old age of 21. A group of us went out to Parker’s Lighthouse in Long Beach to the bar on their 3rd floor. We’d never been up there, but it was way cool. Reasonable prices and an awesome view of the harbor. Good job bro.

My little brother turned 21 today! A group of us went to Parker’s Lighthouse to the 3rd floor bar area and had a great time. I’ve never been way up there, but it has a gorgeous view. I just wanted to wish Andrew the bestest birthday ever and say what a fun time I had with such a great group of people. Here’s to great birthdays everywhere!
