Thank you to everyone who joined us for Joe's B-day Brew Review on Thursday. It was a blast. A special thank you to the last moment set-up crew, all the pourers, the ice crew, to the Legion, Midtown, Fifth Street Liquor, HyVee, to the beer groupies - Deb, Karen and Ed, my go to lady...Mom, and everyone else who had a hand in making the 1st annual Brew Review a success.
...and I hope some of you sampling were able to find a new brew of choice.

A toast to Joe, Team Vogel, and enjoying a beer.
Finally - the 2012 Brew of Choice Award goes to....
...and a Birthday
Today is Joe's 34th Birthday.
Birthdays are hard for me. I've shared this in the past.
...It was a time to surprise Joe with something...head out for dinner with the families...maybe have a cocktail or few...whatever we did - it was always one of the best times...
I am still struggling trying to find a way to celebrate this day without Joe...Last year I thought it would be a good idea to run a 1/2 marathon. In true Rachel fashion - I actually ended up running 13.2 miles for I didn't realize a 1/2 only consisted of 13.1. After I did that last year - I swore there was no way I would run that far again.
Well - a couple months ago (when my body had finally forgotten how far this distance is), I got to thinking...I can do it again. I can make it . So today - I took off this morning to run my second 1/2 marathon and this time I only ran 13.1...Good News - I MADE IT!

I would have never made it without my running sidekick - Sam and a good friend - Adam who jumped in with us. Thanks guys for running with me.
After we finished, I got to thinking...this is no way to celebrate a birthday - this is just plain CRAZY. So, Sami and I tossed around some ideas...
...next year I will be celebrating Joe's 35th Birthday with a run on a beach, followed by lounging in the sunshine with a good book in hand (maybe a fun drink too). Now this sounds like the appropriate way to celebrate :).
Happy Birthday Mr. Joe!
Sending my love - Rach
