Nevertheless, it's cold.&nbsp; Joint-achingly cold.&nbsp; This weekend will have higher temps.&nbsp; I had such a wonderful summer.&nbsp; On May 30th Mike and I were married, the following week we went to Miami.&nbsp; We have been camping in Capital Reef and Ouray, Colorado.&nbsp; We visited DC and Maryland.&nbsp; This summer was a fantastic one.&nbsp; Please stay tuned for some pictures from our summer.&nbsp; In memory of warmer days: (a few pics from Ouray, Colorado)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Nothing says "ROMANCE" like taxidermy and fast food. They both ordered the #6.<br /><br />3rd date: 1st kiss following bowling. Liz won. The bowling alley was greasy, the kiss was not.<br /><br />Engaged: March 9th, 2009. Snowy Monday evening.<br /><br />Wedding: to be determined... May/June 2010?
