2025 Browning Cliff notes
RIP Elsa
Justine & Cam kicked off the year by saying au revoir to “Elsa” the mini minivan Nissan Versa note. May she rest in peace.
Now, Justine finally gets respect on the road driving the wickedly talented “Adele Dazeem” Toyota Rav 4 XSE.
Snowmobiling in Leavenworth, WA
Cam, Justine and Wes drove to the mountains to celebrate Cam’s 36th birthday on snow mobiles!
Hip Hip Hoorah
In April Justine had hip surgery to repair a labral tear (hip cartilage) and bone deformity. So that’s pretty crazy.
She spent April-October in physical therapy. It was worth it! She is back to most activities with hardly any pain.
Fun fact - Lady Gaga had her hip labrum repaired in 2013.
This more or less concludes Justine’s year.
Back When I Was Laxin’
Cam is a lacrosse coach at Bellevue Middle School. The team took a trip to Salt Lake City for a tournament.
After the games, the coaches took the 22 13-year-old boys to see the movie, “28 years later.” If you’ve seen it - you can probably guess how that went.
News from Portugal
In the summer, Justine and Cam helped Miranda and Jordan surprise the family with special news.
Everyone thought they were watching a presentation about a 2026 family vacation. In reality, it was a pregnancy announcement for the Rings. AND it’s TWINS. Double surprise!
By the time you read this - they will likely be here!
Update - They were born on December 13th and everyone is doing well - Keep scrolling for pics!
Cam is “Client Obsessed”
Cam earned a big promotion and won an award at the corporate level for his dedication to the company and his clients.
They gave him the title of being, “client obsessed.”
In October he won a SECOND award for being the top senior portfolio manager in the company.
In December he earned a THIRD award, “The CEO” Award - from the CEO himself!
Out of 17,000 people - not too shabby. And well deserved for all his hard work.
Ravens @ Buffalo
Cam traveled to Buffalo in September to spend time with the Browning squad and to watch the Raven’s play at Highmark Stadium.
Final score:
Ravens 40 Buffalo 41
A Visit in Florida
Lynn moved to Florida this year and Cam visited her in October. He also caught up with some of the Davies family!
A Springer Spaniel’s Broken Springer
Pippa tore her ACL and MCL from degenerative arthritis and had TPLO surgery in November.
Don’t be fooled by the sad eyes - she gets an insane amount of cheese at every doggy physical therapy visit. This is her on the water treadmill.
She is recovering well!
2 New Nieces!
Elora Victoria Ring & Arlina Justine Ring
Born on 12/13. The girls are in the NICU after being delivered early, but they’re doing AWESOME and will likely be heading home within the next week!
And as you can see, Miranda is doing great as well!
As we reflect on our year, we are feeling a ton of gratitude for our wonderful surgeons, physical therapists, veterinarians, friends, family and coworkers who have cared for and supported us in 2025.
Thank you everyone!
We look forward to what 2026 will bring and expect it to be far more exciting.
We hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Lots of love,
Justine and Cam
