The Wedding!

Congrats to Nic and Ashley! They got married over the weekend, and everything was just perfect. The weather was sunny (not raining!), the bride was beautiful, and the groom was looking quite handsome!

Grandma turned out to be the best dancer of the night!



The day before the wedding...

These pictures were all taken at the wedding rehearsal. Nic and Ashley chose a beautiful location for their wedding--the gardens at the Old Governor's Mansion in Frankfort, KY.

Adventures in Aggieland!!

We spent the past weekend travelling through the Bryan/College Station area, looking for a new place to live, hanging out with Donna and Tony, and touring the campus. We had a great time! Enjoy the photos!
A statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross, a former A&M President. I'm not quite sure why, but it's a tradition for students to put pennies on his boots for good luck during finals week.


The 12th man!!! He even stood still long enough for us to take his picture!
Perhaps the most important stop on our tour of Aggieland: the Reveille burial ground!
We lucked out during our trip to College Station. Although it was overcast most of the time, it never rained on us! Plus, all of the flowers were blooming!




You can't take a trip to Aggieland with going to the Bush museum. Well, actually, we just kind of drove by and took a few pictures. Maybe next time!

The Bonfire Memorial






These are all pics of the Bonfire Memorial. If you don't know the story, check out the memorial website at http://www.tamu.edu/bonfirememorial/index.html . We spent quite a bit of time here...very moving.

Bolton Hall and the Century Oak

This is Bolton Hall, my new office building. Lovely! Of course, the best thing about Bolton Hall is the Century Oak, a live oak that is right outside of the main entrance. Cadets are often seen here proposing to their girlfriends (note that Matt and I are simply sitting and enjoying the view)!



This building is the Academic Building and it houses Women's Studies. On the rather flat campus of A&M, the building stands out because of its dome. Lucky for me, Bolton Hall and the Academic Building are right next to each other!
