For those of you who don't know, my dad died on August 17, 2005. A few days ago we...... what do you do when you remember somebody's death day. You don't really celebrate, but I can't think of a better word. You get the point. ANYWHOO, yesterday was my dad's birthday. August 20th. He would have been 65 years old. Matt, Will, and I were in Omaha visiting our friend Suzzanne who is moving to Nottingham, England in four short weeks for a full year to go to grad school. In honor of my dad's birthday, Suzzanne made cupcakes. She made chocolate mayonnaise cupcakes (totally awsome) and orange cream cheese frosting. It was a perfect celebration. Dad's favorite color was orange and one of his favorite people, besides me, was Suzzanne. I miss my dad, but he would have appreciated the celebration!

Your dad was AWESOME! I miss him too...glad that you came into my life so I could meet your parents. Love you!
They were some pretty good cupcakes. If you notice, my bowl contains two cupcakes and several scoops of ice cream. If you've wondered why I need an elliptical...
What a sweet way to remember your father. :)
Well I'm glad you are able to celebrate such a great man! I'm glad you got to see her before she leaves...I'm way bummed I can't. I did enjoy that trip to Jason Mraz didnt I? I'm such a dork.

Yay for Dad! He's on my list of favorite dads EVER! I mean, if it weren't for his encouragement, I never would be moving to Nottingham! So Em, blame my absence on your daddy he'll like that. I miss him tons.
