Hello everyone, this is Kelly writing. Today I learned that my great grandmother, Zelma Young, passed away on Friday, February 19th. She was 92 years old and led a long, full life. Katie and I had the opportunity to visit with her last Labor Day in Woodland Park, CO, where she lived with her daughter, my aunt Sharon, and it was a great experience. I remember how she walked outside of her room for the first time in weeks to spend time with us, and to show us all the places she'd been on the U.S. map. She also had a lot of old photographs in her room, and it was amazing to see how young my dad, uncle and grandfather looked in some of them. She even saved a thank you letter that I had sent her from at least 10 years ago, and my aunt Sharon mentioned that she still read it from time to time. It was the first time Katie had met her, and one of the few times I have met her in my life. I'm so glad Katie had the chance to meet my great grandmother before she passed away. I know it meant a lot to Katie too. I didn't know her as well as I may have liked, but I do know she will be missed greatly by her family, and she will be in our prayers. Thank you...
Kelly

Our Valentine
An appropriate 1st message for the new blog...Happy Valentine's Day to all our loved ones! We hope you were able to share time with someone special. ♥ In true fashion, Kelly & I celebrated Saturday by traveling to Baltimore with our friends Justin & Teri for a Belgian Beer Fest at Max's Taphouse in Fells Point.
The night of sparkling conversation, tasty brews & exhilarating speed skating (go Apolo!) took a tragic turn, however, upon Kelly's discovery that his wedding band was MISSING. We've retraced steps, placed the necessary phone calls, posted an ad on Baltimore's Craigslist & of course invoked St. Anthony. We realize this crisis is not uncommon, but heartbreaking nevertheless.
So this year our Valentine to one another is a bit different. While the ring may be gone, the vows we exchanged are forever:
Happy Valentine's Day!
