our engagement party

Posted in Uncategorized on Aug 23, 2008

right after i got back from asia (during which, btw, lillis selected photographers, site for our wedding and a caterer – the site which she had me looking at pictures for while on a web conference from a cafe in saigon) bryan and lyndsay, drew and blake, brad and aimee and doug and mc threw us an engagement party at doug and mc’s old condo in midtown.

here’s a picture of us from that night…..with me wearing my new vietnam shirt and illis looking lovely as ever.

pictured here are sara, aimee, lil and blake. not pictued, but probalby on the floor just out of the camera’s site was sara’s new baby, kenley

here are jason and mo, blake, drew and brad out on the balcony

at this point, i could give a shoutout to the party organizers….bryan’s been a great friend for a long time and helped on more than one occasion to further my career at accenture, and lyndsay went above and beyond (moreso than any other friend’s significant other) to keep me included after they got married (back when i was still a single schlub). i could barely count the number of times they shepherded me out (until lynds got sleepy at 10pm). drew has been a great friend over the last three years and has been a great source of advice and support and is responsible for getting me back into church. blake has been wonderful to lillis and has really embraced her over the last year and a half. brad has been phenomenel tech support and has been a good friend spanning activities from college basketball, to roomate, to photography, to computer crap, and aimee allowed brad to take me in after my sinus surgery, even consenting to have them sleep in the den with me when i was freaking out. doug has been a great friend and organizer of numerous amazing trips and parties (as well as a supplier of countless free ga tech tickets 🙂 and mc has been wonderful, from her previous offers to select my wife for me, to the one she made last summer to employ my wife (even though she didn’t select lillis for me).

the party was wonderful and i’m thankful to all of the hosts and the other friends who showed up to celebrate our relationship.

    • Camping Weekend June 9, 2007
      sooooo, i was able to convince john and stephen that it would be a good idea for us to spend a weekend out in the woods with no food and no hair dryers (more a concern for stephen than for me - and less so every day). we found our way up to the greater […]
