Well we’ve been on the road for a while now. We had a good family reunion up in Salt Lake City with Julie’s family. It was a good time. I’ll have lots of pictures up shortly. Lucy was a treat.

We’re in St George, Utah, tonight. We drove down from up north and are staying with Julie’s sister, Lisa. We figured we would break up the drive so that we wouldn’t have to leave Lucy on the side of the road somewhere in the wilderness. Let’s just say that she’s not a very good traveller. She’s been asking to go home for about 4 days, so I guess she’s ready.

More later, including pictures.

Yesterday was Abigail’s 7th birthday and Grace’s 5th birthday. These dual birthday things are getting to be quite the thing. Today we had a bunch of kids over for their party. Then tonight we had the whole family over. I was surprised how many came. Good thing not everyone was in town and could make it, as we didn’t have much more room.

Pictures, as always, are here.

The girls got all kinds of fun stuff and they certainly think they’re pretty cool after all the attention today. It’ll be back to reality starting tomorrow I guess.

We head out for Utah on Thursday of next week. Should be good. It’ll be nice to get a break from this heat. It was 113 or so today. The forecasters are saying that we’re going to start to get some storms soon — mostly dust, no doubt.

10 years ago today, Julie was tricked into saying yes when asked if she would be mine. 4 daughters and 10 years of bliss. If you would have told me that 10 years ago, I would have laughed at you. But here we are. I am the luckiest guy in the world. Love you, Jij.

I just uploaded a bunch of pictures. You should see them in the right sidebar. Click here to go see them. Enjoy.

Yes, it was 112 today. Yes, the van is fixed. Yes, it was really $1400+. No, it was not worth it. Yes, I should have gotten a new one. Wo is me.
