"And So It Begins"


We met - November 2007
Thanksgiving at Janell & Adam's home


Oh man...those eyes!




Our first "chaperoned" date, we had a drink at this bar and then went to see August Rush at this theater with the kids. (took these pics when I was here in September 2008)

John's first visit to Michigan was on March 8, 2008




Second trip to Michigan in April 2008
Remi just loved him!


He went shopping and caught a sale on my vitamin water.
The bear was a bonus!






We went to his family reunion in Mississippi in July 2008





He asked me to marry him on August 2nd. We are planning to get married on March 8, 2009 and travel through Northern California for a few days


Czech Festival in Wilbur, Nebraska August 2008


We found this sign at the festival
Papa will be Megan's name for John


Too cute not to share this. We have a joke about 'whining/cheese & crackers'...well, the other day, this pic came thru my cell phone (while in California)
