Jesse is 30! Continued....

But the birthday festivities didn't end there!  No!  We had to do something special on his actual birthday too.  This time I let Jesse pick....  Friday it was gourmet hamburgers on the grill, for which I made a modified version of this recipe.  They were amazing!

Followed by dessert of mint chip ice-cream and Sprite floats (yum!) and watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I cried... a lot. 

And that still wasn't it!  We carried this celebration on over to Sunday and we had some friends over for fish tacos and birthday cake.  I'm proud to say the food turned out really good and everyone left full and happy.  Thanks to Paul, Deb, and Heika for their assistance in the kitchen and Jordan for his help at the grill.

Spy Rock


We went hiking this weekend with my family up to Spy Rock in Nelson County. I have to say this is the most breath taking view I've seen. My mom almost missed it, but we convinced her it was worth the treacherous climb up the crack of the rock. Way to go Mom!

It's even more beautiful in person!

My sister graduated from University of Michigan.

We had a great dinner.
Photoed Above: Dad (Greg), Step-dad (Larry), Mom (Sandra), and me (Jesse). It was a nice time and the celebration of the culmination of years of hard work and diligence for Amie. I am proud of you Amie. You have inspired me to finish school quicker than I planned. My goal was to be done by 75.
