First off, congrats to my father who recently was promoted at work. He’ll be doing a lot more paper work and managerial stuff from the sounds of it and, most likely, some more traveling to make sure various plans are up and running. He works for East Jordan Iron Works. Who are they and what do they make? Next time you’re walking over a manhole cover look for “EJIW” stamped on it – they make about 50% of the United States’ sewage components.

Next up is Lauren Lynn, who is my best friend’s little sister. I’ve known Lauren since she was six or seven and she’s grown up to be quite the singer. She recently won the American 1 Teen Idol competition and will be heading back to compete in the American Idol competition. Good luck Lauren!
