WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS A STELLAR 2013 FOR YOUNG’S
Grand Rapids, MI – As the year Two Thousand and Thirteen
comes to a close, it seems assured that it will go down in history as a great
year. Or, at the very least, a good year. Definitely above average. Let’s
recount a few of the reasons why:
WEDDING
Mackenzie
Young and Liz Fast officially tied the knot on August 9th,
surrounded by 200 of their closest family and friends. The long-awaited wedding
went off without a hitch, and despite the heat of the summer afternoon causing
a few inopportune pit stains, the day was a total success. Reached for comment,
brother of the groom and co-best man Cameron Young said, “It was okay, I guess.
Do you think they took enough pictures? I mean, how many smoochy photos do you
need?”
BUSINESS
The
Michigan economy continues its upward trajectory, and along with it goes the
fortunes of the Behler-Young Co. under the steady hand of its leader, Doug
Young. Reached for comment, shareholder Cameron Young said, “For the last time
- where’s my dividend check? Seriously, where is it?”
SPORTS
The year
in sports was not so sparkling. A surprise trip by the beloved Wolverines to
the pinnacle of history in the NCAA tournament fell just short, and was
promptly followed by the team’s best players heading off to the NBA. Even a
repeat of that anti-climax, however, would have been preferred to the abject
failure that was the Wolverines’ season on the gridiron. Reached for comment,
season ticket holder Cameron Young complained, “I can’t even show my face
around town without a Sparty honking their tractor at me or gleefully screwing
up my fast food order.”
TRAVEL
There
was no shortage of memorable experiences in 2013. Doug and Kim spent the month
of April jet-setting between Panama, Orlando, Pittsburgh, and Israel, while Jon
spent time in Colorado visiting family. Mackenzie joined Liz in Minneapolis in
September to begin their life together, and the family hopes to visit them and
other family and friends in the Twin Cities soon. Reached for comment,
reluctant traveler Cameron Young said, “If the state doesn’t end in a –rida, -fornia,
or –wai-i, or have an average temp of at least 80, I ain’t going nowhere!”
CLASSIFIEDS
Wanted:
One cute and cuddly puppy to join Bo and provide us with constant entertainment,
along with the occasional headache. (Reached for comment, Doug said, “H$#@
no!”)
For
sale: A 2007 Buick Terraza, 104K miles, excellent condition. Can’t get up
driveway when there’s even a millimeter of snow, so after the 30+ inches
there’s been so far…4-wheel drive is in order! Reached for comment, extremely
safe driver Cameron Young said, “Does Porsche make vans?”
From our
family to yours, God Bless, and best wishes for a fantastic 2014!
