Wow...I have a 30 Year Old Husband!

A Story in Pictures
The adventure begins! My childhood friend, Allison, was married on August 16th to her college sweetheart, Eric. We left for Denver (all three of us!) to celebrate the happy occasion.
While we were out at the Rehearsal, Ellie got to spend some quality time with her Grand Dad.
...and of course her Gram.
Jen and I were in typical form at the Rehearsal dinner (always finding ourselves hilarious when nobody else does).
We enjoyed our dinner at the Fort in Morrison.
A picture of Allison and her incredibly awesome Bridesmaids.
The radiant bride on her Wedding Day. She looks a lot different from the girl with braces I remember in Middle School...absolutely stunning.
The long limo ride on the way to the reception
(the driver got lost...whoops). At least we had plenty
of champagne.
The happy Mr. and Mrs.
Until next time...

A Very Special Day
Congratulations to Lex and Aimee! They were married on August 2, 2008 at Wildwood in Lafayette. Knute and I were extremely honored to be in the Wedding Party. It was so special to see such wonderful friends get married. We wish them many years of health and happiness. They are currently honeymooning for three weeks in Spain and the Dominican Republic. I wish I had more pictures of the bride and groom, but instead Knute and I got mostly pictures of ourselves. I guess we're just that vain.
In other important news...Ellie is six weeks old and smiling! I haven't caught the happy event on camera yet, but I will try to post a picture soon.
