Son: Dad, can I go inside now?
JG: Sure.

Joey and I were having a deep discussion while sitting in his parked car in the driveway. We were discussing marriage and certain expectations. We were revealing some of our pains and fears.
JC: I love you.
Me: Why?
JC: Because you have a cute butt.
We might just be ready for that next step.

Other highlights:

• Mark's party on Friday night. Met Paula...and then later...I confidently said, "Paula, you changed your clothes!" She smiled and said, "my name isn't Paula. It's Pam." I was horrified for getting her name wrong....but really the joke was on me because Pam and Paula are twins. Nice one. Had fun hanging out (more on that later) and seeing Yi. I miss her so much.
  
• Ran 5...yes....5 miles with Melissa. I thought I was going to pass out but didn't let on to her. We did walk a few times but it felt good to run.
  
• The Koi Fish party was pretty great. I'll have to post a picture of the fish. They all swam up to the edge to try to party with us. It was good to hang out with the Lilly's (even though one was missing....booooo, Katie). Dana and her brother grilled some veggies (so good) and the Chappy's brought their fire pit. It was awesome to hang out with Megan and learn more about her year in Honduras. I'm actually going to miss the little house on Cherry Street. The next house will be better (I keep telling myself).
  
• Blueberry Wheat Beer = Success
  
• Went to my cousin's wife's baby shower. We laughed about how Cory and I used to play dolls together. He and I would both get homemade clothes from our grandma for Christmas. He's going to be a fabulous dad.
  
• Joey bought "me" a dryer.
  
• Grilled the leftover food and then ended the day with a walk around Mason and watching Lost on DVD.
  
• One Eyed Willy passed away yesterday afternoon. I had noticed him swimming toward the top of the fish tank on Saturday. As we were making dinner on Sunday, I saw him laying on the floor of the tank…upside down. He did well for only having one eye and will be missed.
