Tonight Scotty, Ben, and I made arrangements to meet my dad at a restaurant for dinner. Since Ben has talked non-stop about his grandpa since our last visit (which made my dad’s day), we thought it would be a good way to appease them both by getting them together. It has been snowing all day and although we made arrangements, the location of them due to the snow was changed quite a few times. We finally decided to meet at the Paradise Cafe on the north side of Indianapolis and had a great dinner with the Tirman men…..all that was missing was my brother, Uncle Mike.

Oddly enough, Mike strolled in with his girlfriend about 45 minutes after we did, and it was great for all of us, particularly for our dad. Though he did not arrange it, my dad was clearly (genetically) ultimately responsible for the entire mess, I mean gathering. One thing I can say in all honesty is that I have a tremendous family, and it is always great to get together. Tonight was a double blessing (at least for me, I cannot speak for the rest of them).

But our bachelorhood is coming to a quick end. Amanda returns tomorrow at 8:00pm and in all honesty, it really has already ended in that Amanda Jr (Steph) is already home monitoring our misdeeds. We will now just make sure everything is picked up and ready for inspection tomorrow at 9-ish.

Keep us in your prayers…..we Noblesville Tirman men are still in our minds “technically unsupervised!”

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
