 This Observer uses logger to log when specific callbacks are triggered.
 
+Please note that observers are called in the order that they are defined. That means that callbacks in an observer
+will always be called *after* callbacks defined in the model itself. Likewise, `has_one` and `has_many` 
+use callbacks to enforce `:dependent => :destroy`. Therefore, associated records will be destroyed before
+the observer's `before_destory` is called.
