Christmas in Michigan

Melissa and I just got back from our week long trip to the frozen midwest. We had a great time hanging out with my family. We had a full schedule of things to do. We went to The Henry Ford Museum to see a bunch of historic cars, trains and other artifacts like the rocking chair Lincoln was assassinated in. We saw a Piston game from a suite in the Palace thanks to my good friend Ryan Pretzer. We had Christmas Eve dinner with the Garity side of my family at my uncle Phil's house. There were even some movies and a trip to Greektown thrown in there too! It was a great trip and we were so thankful for all the hospitality and the good times we got to share with everyone. We are looking forward to 2009 and wish everybody a happy and healthy holiday season!

Our Story Starts Here

This is where our story begins - the moment that I asked Melissa to marry me. It was June 6th, 2008 on Orcas Island, Washington. I told her that I was going to take a picture of us together. She had no idea that the picture was going to turn out the way it did. As we move forward with our wedding plans and our lives together, we invite our friends and family to follow our story in this blog. Even though many of them live far away, we still want them to be part of our journey. We will be posting dates times addresses and other relevant information about the wedding and our lives as they happen. So stay tuned and enjoy!
