Congratulations, Jake and Rebecca!

My friend Jacob got married 2 weeks ago in RAY-seen Wisconsin, and it's taken me a while to post pics of the fab evening, but here they are. We were the rowdy bunch from work, but even computer geeks can have fun!



Kristen and I at the dinner table. Family, you'll notice that I'm wearing the dress from Good's in Breckenridge!











Here are my friends, from left, Ken, me, Doug, Jake (the groom), and Kristen. We all work in Salem together.













Here I am polka-ing with Jake. Who knew a girl from Texas could polka?! I don't think I actually CAN polka, but it's easy enough to bounce up and down and laugh which people often mistake for polka-ing.


















Here's Jake and his wife Rebecca as she prepares to spin him around to throw the garter. He's dancing (or just shimmying or something).















Here are the boys doing the air guitar...among other things.










What a nice groom - he keeps his guests hydrated and rather content.

A Slight Change of Plans

The best laid-plans of mice and men often go awry. And today, they have.

During a routine training session this morning, my s.o. tore his Achilles tendon straight through. He'll have surgery to repair it on Monday, but until then, he's to keep his foot elevated and still. And for an active, stubborn, independent person, that's a tall order!

In the larger scheme of things, what this means is that he won't play football this fall, if ever again. He's sorely disappointed, as he was so looking forward to playing college ball again. He's not sure what the future holds, but for right now, we're just gonna take it nice and easy.
