Joel finished his bookshelf this week when Mom and Dad Ricks and Melanie came to visit us. I think it turned out great!! It really looks good. It is a darker wood that matches the table in our kitchen that Joel refinished. So Joel finished it and we got it half way down the stairs and it got stuck....so we had to flip it. But we did get it down the stairs as for when we have to bring it back up that will be a challenge. I finished filling it with stuff last night...so here it is finished!

Joel's Friend Loren got married...and Joel was a groomsman. He looks amazing in a tux!! These were the few pictures we actually took with our camera. Joel took a ton of pictures with the cameras off the table...most of which are of people eating and not watching =) We had a good time though. We got to catch up with Joel's friends from high school. It is hilarious to listen to them all reminisce about the good 'ol days.
