Other Weddings

Rachel and Jeremy, who will be married on August 16, 2008

Lest you think Meg and I are the only people getting married in 2008 (we tried to reserve the entire year, but alas...), my cousin Rachel is as well. She and her fiancee, Jeremy, are going to tie the knot on August 16th. Meg and I will be there for sure! I will, of course, have camera in hand. Looking forward to it, and congratulations the other happy couple!

More Nostalgia

Jack Nack's Adobe blog is one I read from time to time. Always interesting photos, designs, or even fonts. Today he had a link to an entire batch of classic 50's-era posters. I know I am prone to fits of nostalgia, but these are just cool. Interesting how a time has a unique signature. The "kids" in the poster above looked like they were stolen from It's a Small World:

The site is really up now. Promise!

The new web site

OK, I know I told you to go to the new website, and it may not have been fully ready. Well, we decided to do it a bit differently, and it is now ready to go. Check it out now, and return often as we will keep pushing info there as we learn it:

Engagement

The new addition to Meg's hand

This weekend was big! I asked Meg to marry me. Luckily, she said yes! My plan luckily worked, even though I thought there might be a few setbacks. First, I told a lot of people at work what I was going to do, thinking they would never see her before my planned date. As it turns out, a work dinner was planned with significant others invited right after I told everyone. I was nervous that evening thinking someone would slip and say something, but no one did. Next, I had to do all of the preparation without her knowing. The plan was to propose while skiing at Ski Bowl, the place where we first kissed, and then surprise her again be taking her to a bed and breakfast in Hood River. This meant getting a cache of her clothes into the car without her knowing. Finally, I had to get the ring into my ski gear, again without her becoming aware of it. It all went off perfect. The day up there was a little damp and grey, but it sure warmed up, at least for us, when she said yes!

We will keep you all up to date on the wedding plans.
