Marc and Marilyn and Andrew!

Saturday, July 17th

Natasha planned a surprise party for Matthew at Yardhouse in Long Beach. He was really surprised too! whoo whoo. Good job Tash!

Warren and Stephanie were in town for the holidays / wedding planning. Marc was able to meet up with with Warren over the weekend to get their workout on, of course. We were supposed to have dinner Sunday night, but they got caught up with wedding planning. They have to get tons of stuff done while they’re here since its hard to do from across the country. Fortunately, Warren and Stephanie found time to have dinner with us before they returned to New Jersey. We met up at Marino’s Italian Restaurant along with Matthew, Tash, Bronson and Janet. We all stuft ourselves with garlic bread while we shared stories about married life, wedding preparations, careers, babies and even discussed new business ventures. We had some interesting business ideas; and with the right planning, they could be as successful as the Snuggie. I think there’s lots of potential in some of the ideas. “I’d share them with you, but you might steal them” When our food came we were sharing funny stories from college. Man, oh man. College was hilarious! It was another great night with friends. We’re lucky to be surrounded by great people. Cheers to the wedding in August!

2010 will be an exciting year! As we get older, we encounter new experiences adding to the richness of our lives. Today, some best buds got together to celebrate another amazing year ahead. Things to celebrate: Matthew and Tash got engaged on January 1st. Perry and  Christina are getting married on June 19th. Marc and I are expecting our first child mid April. I’ve known Matthew and Perry for over 15 years and it’s funny to see how we’ve grown up from our crazy high school days. I love that after all these years we still make fun of each other and can make ridiculous DVS references. Dinner was a lot of fun! We got to catch up on life and share the excitement of things to come. Cheers to Matthew and Tash on their engagement!
