Updates

Hey! Sorry for the lack of blogging :(! We haven't been up to anything exciting really...so, I'll just update you with mundane news! ha! We did go to our cabin in West Virginia for Halloween--had a blast with friends and family! My parents are such good sports! We enjoyed the holiday season and were very busy going back-and-forth to each family's events. Jason went to the Orange bowl to cheer on the Bearcats....and I'm on call for this holiday, so I stayed in town.

Wedding planning is going well, and we plan to head to the vineyard sometime soon to get more details ironed out. Hopefully, we'll be able to post some pics of the venue soon. We want to wish all of you a safe and wonderful 2009. We are looking forward to soo much!!! :) Here are some random pictures since we have no recent ones to post ;)

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.
