Another quick post here... busy with wedding plans. We're down to almost 3 1/2 months left. Yikes! Anyway, we wanted to show a preview of our engagement photos. Pictures were taken by Lawrence Photography who are also doing our wedding. We found them through a friend of ours and they've been great! Let us know what you think.

Pictures from around Christmas time. This year, I went back to DC for a quick visit with my mom. Jill stayed in Florida while her Dad and Stepmother visited. I met up with them a couple of days later.

While we were in Buffalo for Thanksgiving a wedding shower was thrown for Jill... which I eventualily crashed. Here's pictures from the festivities! Thanks to all who attended for the best wishes and "cooking" gifts :)

This year Jill and I spent thanksgiving in the coldness of Buffalo! Although it wasn't that bad... it only hit 20 degrees! Enjoy the pictures with Jill's amazing family

Our friend Lu - from Peru came to visit. It's been two years since his last visit to Tampa and this time we actually got him out to explore. It was so much fun having him over and reminiscing. He leaves first thing tomorrow morning - on his way to the second part of his vacation up in DC. I may have the opportunity to meet him up there but not sure yet.

The Strong Family stopped by on halloween, brining over Madison (all dressed up) and new born Kylee. Here's more cute pictures of them that evening.

Jill threw a birthday party for me at the house... but I'm too old for that. I'm only 23 :) right? It's more of what has become our tradition of quarterly parties at the house to have an excuse to relax and have fun with friends. Think of it as a pre-halloween, oktoberfest, birthday bash. And yet again, I play host too much and forget about the camera. I'm going to have to give the camera to somebody else next time. Anyway, included some pictures of the new pool table and decoration art work that Jill did in the garage. Also, some pictures of a "little" accident that happened to my bike :(

And... Kylee is born Oct. 2nd, 2007. Now before you jump to conclusions - Kylee is our neighbors new born daugther. She's another cutie addition to the Strong family... our good friends here in Tampa.

I know it's been a long time since we've posted anything - busy with wedding plans and all. Well, I've been busy watching Jill plan stuff. J/K. Anyway, with all the busy-ness, we still make time to party. We invited friends over for a bbq/party on Labor Day. Not many pictures though, I'm afraid. I got too involved with the guests :)

Our first real vacation in a long time. Jill and I drove down to Key Largo to meet up with some of her family. Lots of good food, diving, great company, and swimming was had by all.

More pictures of Max looking all scruffy before we finally got his hair cut. Max is too cute for his own good!

Max loves to play in our pool... especially when we're in it. He won't let us have fun without him. We decided to get him a life preserver to help him out a bit. He's still learning that he doesn't need to swim all that hard it's too funy.

A friend of ours (Lindsay) from work had a birthday party this weekend at Whiskey Park North down in Tampa. A local bar/dance club. A section on the 2nd floor was reserved just for us. We had a blast. Haven't been their in so long. You can check out pictures of all our crazy friends.

Just a couple photos of Jill and I on July 4th. We forgot to use the fireworks we had at the party but ended up using 'em all tonight. Fireworks are pretty huge down in Florida... everywhere you go, somebody's shooting some off. Happy July 4th!
