I got something similar to this via e-mail from my mom a long time ago, and found it again today while going through the process of cleaning out e-mails...I enjoyed it...hopefully you do too...
"Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it, and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take THEIR garbage and spread it to work, home, or people on the streets."
{The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day}.

welcome little one
Let me tell you a little story...
My cousin Blaine (who my brother and I have adored since we were young tots!) had been out of state for a few years post-college for work. He eventually returned to Denver, and met a girl...Miss Whei Wong. The two worked together, but then seemed to be spending a ton of time together (we didn't even totally scare her off at family functions!). Blaine and Whei ended up getting a pup...Sambuka (who I think we DID scare at family functions, but he still tolerates us ;o)). Anyway, I'm not good with dates, but Blaine proposed to Whei and they were married a few years back. Whei has been around the family now for years and is considered as much a cousin as Blaine. For the past nine months, Blaine and Whei have been preparing the arrival of their first child! Blaine is the oldest of the cousins on my Dad's side of the family, making him the first to have a child, so obviously we are all very excited for them! I mean really, who doesn't want an adorable little baby hanging around the family!
I obviously haven't met this little one yet, but all I keep hearing about is his full head of dark hair and long feet! I think he may end up super tall like his dad! ;o)

I obviously haven't met this little one yet, but all I keep hearing about is his full head of dark hair and long feet! I think he may end up super tall like his dad! ;o)
And here are the proud parents and ready-to-spoil-a-grandchild-grandparents of little Keenan...What a joyful day for the whole family! He already has been and will continue to be a blessing...I am so excited to watch these new parents raise this little baby.
