No Fiesta

News Bulletin: Jenn and Ryan have not fallen off the face of the earth.

It's been a while since we've posted, and I know the out-of-towners are anxious for more pictures of Lincoln, but Jenn and I have been busy lately, and we haven't had much to post about. I could go on and on about the Buckeyes, but I can summarize by saying they had flashes of brilliance and flashes of idiocy. And I'm just not thrilled with the strategy behind the Buckeyes. They're a conservative offense with some spice mixed in. I'd rather see a spicy offense with a little blah mixed in.

The latest news: Jenn is interested in moving. She's been talking with Joe (our realtor, an extremely good man) and Aaron (the branch manager at our bank) about houses, selling prices, mortgages, etc. If we can sell our house for a good number, we could actually upgrade to a house with 4 bedrooms in the Cuyahoga Falls area and pay about 10-15% less of monthly mortgage payment on a 30-year-fixed than we're paying right now. So we're in the information-gathering phase.

As a blast from the past, I'm now able to share some pictures with you from Elise's Bridal Shower that Jenn threw last summer.

Mom made the nametags for the guests and they were very well received.

Jenn went the extra mile with everything from settings to food to drinks.

It rained several inches during the morning before the shower, but Chris and I improvised and sheltered the deck.

You'll never get another coffee shop scone after you've had one of Jenn's scones.

The French Toast was unbelievable. It had a Praline Pecan crust that was like dessert for breakfast.

After brunch, there was a warm time of toasts, stories and gifts. (Jenn was a total knockout!)
