4 Year Anniversary

Happy 4 Year Anniversary! I love our tradition of dressing up and living like the wealthy for an evening. This year Josh brought me to Naha - French Fusion.

First Day of School

I had to take this pic as I sent Josh off to his first day of MBA school at Northwestern! I just wish I had the kindergarten picture to match. We both have been quite busy with our MBA's, but have been filling up any free time with fun!

Canadian Invasian

I am just wondering if I should give up on this blogging thing since this will be my second post in 6 months, but maybe I will stick with it for just a little longer.

Over Labor Day (yes back in September), we had our 6 year reunion of our trip to Canada. We rented a 15 passanger van and headed back to Toronto.

Thanks to our hosts Ryan, Angie, and Andrew Shows! and to our roadtrippers Moses, Annette, Skinny, Adrienne, Tom, Allison, Malmy, and Adam! 10 hours in the car would be miserable if it wasn't for you. Although Ad, you do not count since you were sleeping...:)

It has been too long....

I have recently gone back to school to get my MBA from Indiana University. While in Bloomington, I was inspired by 5 great teammates to join the social media world again. Since I have not updated my blog since November 2008, I am providing a visual picture of the last 9 months.

Turkey Bowl

It would not be Thanksgiving for Josh without the annual Turkey Bowl. This year marked the 16th annual tradition. The guys changed up the teams this year by placing the most experienced vs the least which ended up being the oldest vs the youngest. This change up did not prove successful as the least experienced (in orange below) won 32-20. Better luck next year!

Emily's B-Day Tailgate

Thanks Mom and Dad for hosting another great b-day bash for Emily. Josh and I look forward to this family tradition each year. Although the fire and kerosene heaters were appreciated, I think we need to move this tradition to a little earlier in the fall.

Here are some snapshots from Breakfast Club and the tailgate...

Football Season

It would not be the fall if Josh and I did not attend at least a few football games. We had the pleasure of going to Madison for Homecoming.

In addition we traveled to MSU with 24 of our great friends! Even the Canadians showed up! Yes, the hats are from our smurf costumes...:)
