It had been a month since I had seen Jessica...

...so it was really great to be able to see my wife again. Here are just a couple shots of us in the backyard on the 5th of July having some cocktails.


The pictures are kind of blurry- sorry.







Jess and me

For some reason, I kind of look drunk in this pic. I wasn't be my eyes looked glassy beyond the poor image quality. Maybe I was just drunk with love? ;)






We had some citronella tea lights to set the mood.


It was so great t be able to spend some time with Jess. This had been the longest duration since the drive to Dallas that Jessica and I had not seen each other.

Fourth of July Barbeque

Posted by Bell

I am going to be updating the blog here with some postings from before the move.

Jessica came back to Minnesota for the Fourth of July. We had a BBQ with some of the family and some friends. It was short notice and of course on the 4th f July, so we were happy that anybody could make it.


Here is a pic of some of Jessie's family that showed up.
(L-R: Sue, Dorothy, Herb Barb, Rick and Butch)


We were so excited that Holly and Jared came.

Jessica enjoying herself and the beautiful weather.
A man tending the meat on the grill. Yeah, I cooked way too much food. We had almost 4 pounds of beef and more brats and hot dogs than we could eat in a week.
Jessica made a bunch of her delicious appetizers and salads. The Chesters also brought a pasta salad. I know that I ate way too much food. I think I had a 2 hot dogs, a burger and a brat, plus all the sides.
It was a great day. The weather, as I mentioned, was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the chance to see everyone was tons of fun.
Thanks again to everyone who was able to share the evening with us. We really appreciate it.

We have a whole lot of catching up to do...

Posted by Bell

We are finally getting internet at the apartment tomorrow. I am psyched. Now I will be able to update the blog with all the pictures and comments that I have been saving for the past 3 weeks. There is tons of stuff that I need to post.

And I will be able to search for a job at the comfort of my home instead of the computer lab.

Until then...
