Celebrating in Florida

This past week, I was lucky enough to make it down to Florida for a couple of key events. We found out David and Danielle will be welcoming a baby girl in December, and we celebrated Jamie's 21st birthday. It was so wonderful to all be together, but of course I missed Casey, who was unable to make it down. Someone had to work!
I took Jamie out to Durty Nelly's and met up with Laura, which brought back all sorts of memories. I know I'm not that old, but going back to a college town, and reliving some of those memories, sure does make you feel old! It seems like just yesterday we were all sitting the front row at Durty Nelly's singing along to "You're an Asshole," Casey and David getting into some argument about a lot of nothing, Danielle and I sipping on our Malibu and Pineapple Juice. This time, I was standing in the back, being Sober Cab for Jamie! I loved every second of it, but it sure does make you think about how your priorities change.Now, I am back home, placing some final planning on Beth's baby shower!! I can't wait to show you all pictures of the things we will be doing. Only two weeks! I love to host parties, so I am so excited for 50 people to be coming to my house, and celebrating such an exciting time in our friends' life. But before that festivity, my dear friend Jess will be celebrating a huge milestone! Hunter turns one! He is one of the cutest kids, and such a ball of energy, so we will be going over to her house, to help her celebrate her son's birthday. It seems like there is always so much to do, but not enough time. (So I wrote this before we went, but our computer with all the pictures wasn't working, so I had to wait to publish it. Here is an adorable picture of Hunter!)
Finally, Casey has been waiting for 7 months for this one....Gator football has begun!!! The attitude around the house has changed, so long as the Gator's live up to the expectations. We will be representing well up here in Minnesota, as I know everyone will be down in Florida.
Until next time...(The best ending to any blog I have realized..)

That was when we went to Grog when you and Pat came to visit. I was looking through some old pictures. I found one of the three of us at your old house to. The one by the golf course. (forgot what it was called.) We look so young!!
