Bearcats Homecoming

UC vs. Rutgers. Bearcats win 13-10. It was an unbelievable day for an October. The weather was perfect.

Check out these hillbillies in "wife beaters." This is the result of tailgating at 9:30am.

It's nice to see the stadium full. The bearcats are on their way!

The Road Trip

We loaded up the car and headed out for a three day road trip. Here's what we did.

First Stop... Ashville, NC

We travelled to the Richmond Hill Inn in Ashville, NC for Donna and Bill's wedding. We had so much fun meeting so many new people and being a part of this special day.





Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Donna and Bill Hood... can you see Bill's sweaty sideburn?

L.C. liked the cake so much she ate Jim's.

Linda did a great job on the flowers. They were beautiful.

The scenery was spectacular. Get out of the picture, Jonathan.

Second Stop... Knoxville, TN

After the wedding we stopped by Knoxville to catch the Tennessee vs. Northern Illinois game.

The stadium was awesome and Megan and Walker were great hosts.

Megan and Becca tailgating again like old times.

Jason even wore a Tennessee hat to try to fit in. He looks hot in orange. We had such a great time and we can't wait to do it again.

The Big Engagement

Who would leave a picnic here in the woods... with champagne... Oh well, we'll enjoy it. Rebecca thought the other riders were going to go out on an "advanced trail" while we had a little picnic. Our new friends set this up so well. They said they would come back and get us after they explored this area.

Rebecca would give the first toast. It was sooo sweet.

Jason's was better. He had some hardware.

It's official. We're engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be continued...

Engagement Setup

Rebecca thought we were going to try something new and do a little trailriding... Little did she know Jason had something else in mind.





Rebecca rode a horse named Levi. He liked to tailgate the other horses on the trail.

This is Jason and his horse Joey... look how long his tail is. Jason was jealous. He thought it was a weave.

Here we are learning how to ride. I would like to point out that Jason has never been on a horse before so this whole thing could take a turn for the worst at any moment... what a risky move.

Labor Day Weekend

We've been quite busy...tis the season for more and more weddings (I really thought after all of you guys were married that I would be finished...then I met Jason and he has soo many friends! I really think we're close to wrapping up with all the weddings ;)). We did manage to fit in a few cookouts with my family, and watched the WEBN fireworks at an apartment overlooking Cincinnati. It was beautiful!! Enjoy pics from our Friend's Jay and Lauren's wedding too.

Angie, Andy, Jason and Dad grillin' up some beer brats....yummy!

The sunset before the fireworks...

I thought we were going to fall over the balcony! it was a great view.

Stay tuned to more wedding pics from this past weekend!

Kenny Chesney!

Our friends invited us to listen to the Kenny Chesney concert on their boat....so, we navigated on the Ohio river, and got a pretty nice spot. We could actually hear the music really well :) It was a great way to spend a beautiful night. (I think we were the only boat that wasn't bonging beers...we felt a little old! ha!)

The sunset...

Jason got a few shout outs of people thinking he was Kenny...too bad Jason can't sing like him! ha ha!Mike and Clare about to take a dip....

I wouldn't dare get into the Ohio river...but cheers to those who did. Hopefully Jason doesn't grow a third arm from his back!

Celebrity Run Ins

Here's some celebrities that we've ran into on our recent journies:

Mike and Jason with Crimedog McGruff.

St. John's USVI

Hey! We just returned from our trip to St. John's for our friends Jessica and Jon's wedding. We had an absolute blast and were able to see and do so many exciting things! These are just a few pictures of our trip.....Enjoy!

The legend of the Island hook bracelet comes from a maiden who fell in love with a seafaring man. Inspired by fishing hooks, it represents love: "If the open hook is worn facing the heart, you have the good fortune to have found your sweetie. If worn reversed, good fortune will smile upon your every cast. One of these days, you are sure to reel in your heart’s desire.”

Aren't you suppossed to wait till you get in the water to put the mask and snorkel on???

This was one of the taxis that we rode around the island. Pretty Bad Ass! ha

The cake was awsome! I had two servings!

This is the most amazing view of one of the bays!
Our favorite picture from the sunset cruise. Look at that beautiful sky!



Here ya go Mo! We went to Woody's for happy hour 3-6 pm $1 beers! fun times :)

ONE of Kenny Chesney's houses on Hawksnest...its the one on the left!

A bar on the east end of the island...my legs aren't skinny are they?



The view from our villa...Great Cruz Bay

Jason had never snorkled before, so he started with a noodle...he mastered it by the end of the trip...no noodle necessary. We saw amazing marine life--even a 5 foot nurse shark!
Our sexy beach picture!! watch out Sports Illustrated! The water was crystal clear :)
The both of us before the wedding...with the view from our villa in the background....sweet hat Jason! He's so handsome!
