Every year, my sister, brother-in-law (who’s like a real brother to me) and their family head to Port Austin, Michigan, to a cottage that is owned by a member of my brother-in-law’s family. Over ten years ago, they started inviting Jennifer and me to come up for the weekend for a bit of rest and relaxation. They didn’t have to ask us, but they did. It has always been one of my favorite times each year. This year was no exception. The weather was not the greatest, but the company more than makes up for it. There was even some pictures taken (which I uploaded on Flickr.)

I just wanted to say THANK YOU! This year was a well needed day away from the world, and Jennifer, Kiara and I needed it. Also, thanks for allowing Kiara to go fishing for the first time. (Oh, and to her Godfather, thanks for letting Kiara catch a larger fish than you… you meant to do that, right?)
