Not much going on since our last update, EXCEPT for Dawn and Matt's wedding! It was a beautiful day, and we are glad to have Matt join our family. Julie was a bridesmaid, and I played trumpet and sang for the wedding. We stayed at Dawn and Matt's for about 4 days. It was a little hectic at times, and I believe that everybody's patience was tried at one time or another, but we got through it. The summer is flying by already! I can't believe that it's the middle of June already! Relay for Life is this weekend. This weekend has a whole new meaning for me, personally, as I lost my mom last October to cancer. I also lost a good friend last month to cancer, so this weekend will be an opportunity to reflect on the past year, and to look forward to helping find a cure once and for all. Julie will be busy, as she is on the committee, and is our team captain. I have a jazz combo performing, so I will be responsible for that. On the topic of loved ones, we got news today that Julie's uncle Dave passed away. He has had Parkinson's disease for years, and his health had really deteriorated recently. He is in a better place now, and we will be thinking of Judy and the family as they deal with this tough time. Well, I better end this blog for now, as I didn't plan on writing a novel! Until next time!
