Happy 30th Birthday Aimee!
This week has been another busy one for Keith. It looks like the coming weeks will be the same. Since they've been so busy at work and putting in long days, we haven't been able to do movie night. Today they actually got home at a decent hour so Rach and Speedy came over and we watched 'Fly Boys'. Speedy you're not going to live this bad choice down. It could have been a good movie, but it was a bit disappointing.
