Matt & Steph's Wedding


Most of the gang traveled to Ithaca, NY to celebrate Matt & Steph's wedding.  It was a great time.  The next day we continued to trip to nearby Niagara Falls.

This was the first big trip for Mark and I.  We determined that we travel well together :)

Grandma's 80th Birthday


I am from a large family (the oldest of 7 children).  My mother is also from a large family (the oldest of 10 children).  As you can imagine, I have a lot of cousins.  This is only a small group of the grandchildren who were able to celebrate Grandma's 80th birthday with her.

Our First House









When Mark and I met I had been planning on moving out of the apartment and at that time, buying a condo or a townhome.  After Mark and I started to get serious I decided to change my plans and buy a house.  Unfortunately, having a lot of student loans limits the amount of house you can buy.....






Fortunately, Mark and I are handy and resourceful (OK maybe mainly Mark).....
