It all kicked off with John's 30th birthday weekend. He had known about his upcoming party coming up on Sunday, but was unaware that Heath and I would be picking up his parents who had flown in from Delaware for dinner on Friday night. It was a surprise that we all enjoyed, in large part because Marie (John's mom) brought plenty of baby and awkward teen pictures for us to see. The party itself had plenty of food, people and the new summer obsession: Ladder Golf, a spin-off of "bags," also known as "cornhole." Off the bat, Heath is way better than I am, but I have a few more months to catch up.

On Monday night we met up with friends at Piece, a pizza place I've mentioned in previous blogs, to bid a final farewell to Adam and Sarah who are moving to Washington, DC. Adam got a job with the ONE campaign towards the end of last year and he and Sarah have been apart for about 7 months while she finished up her teaching gig here in Chicago. While we're glad that they'll be reunited we'll definitely miss them.
Tuesday night Heath picked me up after his first class at the Newberry (more on that to come), and we met up in Welles Park to celebrate Dena's birthday. It was a little chilly for a June evening, but party-goers prevailed with frisbee, bocce and, yes, Ladder Golf. Finger foods and little live music courtesy of The School of Rock made it a lovely night despite the low temps.
