Wedding, Ireland, Scooter

John and I got married, as you may have guessed from all of the references to the wedding John has been making. It was really great. Before the wedding I mostly sat around and did girly things, like having my hair done and putting on make-up. However, the guys were apparently working their butts off [...]

Wedding – pre-events – Rehearsal

Though initially a joke, we decided to do the rehearsal at Toby Keith’s I Love this Bar and Grill in Bricktown.  While I know this sounds ridiculous, it’s close to our wedding cite in the gardens and they have something for everyone.
Before the dinner, Lisa and I met our officiant – Reverend Lofton.  She was [...]

Wedding – pre-events – Bachelor(ette) parties

May 24 was a huge day.  However, first the build-up.
Ryan was the first to get into town for the wedding.  He came in the Sunday before, so Zach and I got to hang out with him for a few days before things got crazy.  Needless to say much ESPN insued.
Midweek, the rest of the guys [...]

Graduation

Again, sorry for the delays.  I’m going to try to make several posts in the next few days to get up to date on everything.
Lisa’s grandparents along with my sister came into town for our graduation ceremony, so we felt somewhat obligated to show up as well.  On the whole the event went fairly well.  [...]

Long delay

Sorry to all my avid readers (Sam) for the long delay, but end of the semester stuff won out over blogging. Lisa and I both successfully defended our theses and we’ll “receive our master’s” this Saturday – we won’t actually get anything but an empty diploma holder. Still, should be a memorable day [...]

Update: Thesis Writing 2

I’m so tired.  It’s like 1:23 am and I’m up in the department working on my thesis.  I really want to have a rough draft done before I go home.  I also have a meeting for my internship tomorrow.  I did a couple of hours of work last week, but I really need to be [...]

Update: thesis writing

The absence of posts lately is mostly due to thesis writing.  Lisa is all but done with her rough draft, and I am within ten pages (I hope).  We have also written papers for the Midwest Junto which will be taking place this weekend in Minnesota.  Started in 1957 to stick it to the East [...]

Basketball and thesis writing

I had always planned to do a good bit of my thesis writing during Spring Break.  While others are off enjoying the sun on beaches or hitting the slopes, I have been at my apartment, pondering the chemical theories of Richard Kirwan.  While I’m obviously on the plus side of that fence, it hasn’t been [...]

So tired

We’ve had pretty good weather for Spring Break, but I haven’t been able to get much done.  For one reason or another, Lisa and I have had to get up early every morning so far and are getting worn down by the early afternoon.  Today we met up with Lisa’s step-mother to work on wedding [...]

Productivity

Today, I woke up early, wrote a class paper, mailed off my tax return, did several hours of internship work, and completed and submitted a grant application.  And it’s just now 5.  This is easily one of the most productive days I’ve had in a long time.  I think I might go write some more [...]
