Today the FANTASTIC day...

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, our Gretchen. Someone once said that "storytelling is a dying art." Gretchen, ladies and gentlemen, is living proof that such a statement is not yet true. For she lives today and tells stories! Even now--if you listen--you might hear her, telling stories about the day of her birth. Why, today is the day of her birth!!! And so, without further adieu... a haiku.

I don't think I could
Ever say enough of you.
Gretchen is amazing!

Gretchen stands so strong
'Gainst winds of adversity.
And she gives good hugs.

Would that I could tell
All there was to tell--but nay--
'Tis impossible.

Gretchen is not one
To be measured by words alone.
She pretty much rocks.

Happy birthday gal!
Still after office hours
Stands our love for you!

Opa!

So Gretchen, may this day be the bestest ever! Well, for now.

And I expect some awesome stories tomorrow. :)

It's Time to Party!

Well, it's that time of year again. Janae is celebrating the day of her birth for the 21st time. That's right. The lovely creature pictured above is old enough to do so many things. She can legally drink (haha, but she won't), she can have a job and make money so that she can live on her own, she can count to ten (I'm pretty sure she could do that before), but she can not rent a car yet. So my point is...she's a catch. I'm lucky to know her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANAE!!!
