I would like to point out that this blog entry makes no mention of my meeting Doug, a very important event indeed. I feel slighted. I may just have to go create my own blog, but I have nothing from which to procrastinate.
August 2007: Grandma dies, and we meet Randi's boyfriend, Doug, but we decide to make up a story of how we met since we all agree that it's kind of lame we met at grandma's funeral.
Sometime in spring 2006: Randi meets Doug. When exactly they started dating is a point of contention.
