Birthday Week
Nick's birthday isn't until Sunday, but the countdown has begun so I decided to go ahead and change the blog!

Uncle Bill
I am sure many of you have those individuals in your life who you are so close to (but not related) that you refer to as Aunt or Uncle. Well Uncle Bill is that person in our family. To be honest I can't remember when he started coming around, but I was pretty young and Ellen, Clay and I instantly latched on. He has been Uncle Bill ever since.
He is on staff with Campus Crusade for Christ and works with the Jesus Film Project which requires a good bit of travel. So whenever he is in Birmingham we try to meet up. Last night he came over for dinner and we had a great time catching up!
For those of you who came to the wedding...he was the one who sang during the ceremony. Below is a picture of us from the Rehearsal Dinner.

Like, Love and Don't Like
This week, I like the freedom of choice. The bruises are still healing from the A/C unit purchases so we will once again stay close to home this weekend. Not to fear - there's plenty to do at home. We can do some yard work, smock, practice calligraphy or just watch TV. I like the comfort that comes with having choices.
This week, I love my parents. My dad calls the other night. Julie answers the phone. Julie and Dad proceed to have a 45 minute conversation before Mom gets on the line. Even though they talk to Julie more than me now, I still love them. I am ready to see them soon.
This week, I don't like the favoritism shown to Tiger Woods by the golf media. Yeah, I get it. He's brought more people to the game and golf would not be as popular without him. But, let me get this straight: Tiger wins the dinky Buick Open this past weekend and dominates ALL golf highlights (same weekend as Women's British Open and Senior US Open) but when he misses the cut at the Open Championship, it's not a big deal. Have I got that right? OK, good.

Looks Like She is into Blogs Now!
So yesterday I mentioned that my sister, Ellen, is interning with the Heritage Foundation this summer. Today they posted one of her articles on their blog. I am so proud of her. Here is a link to her article:
