Congratulation Mary and Eric

My brother Eric and Mary have been dating for around 6 years now. Just recently they got engaged. They went to Vegas for a medical conference that Mary was attending. At the Bellagio , in front of the water show, Eric got on one knee and proposed. And well, of course she said yes. I am very happy for them and know that they will have a happy life together.

I can't wait until next fall when I can celebrate with both of you. And thank you Mary for having me as a brides maid. I am truly honored!

White Water Rafting

For my birthday I wanted to do something exciting with my friends. The idea came from a coupon book that I have. It has a buy one ride and receive the next free. We didn't end up going to that one, but it was a good idea anyway!
We went to the Black River in Watertown, NY. We were told that the rapids were going to be a slight 5 (out of a possible 7), because of the constant rain this spring. The water was super cold but the air and the sun were nice.
Sadly we only lost one person the whole ride. It of course was the one person who was worried about falling out. After the ride there was a bbq with some delicious food.
All together it made for an amazing day!
