The two in the photo above are my son, Rick and his fiancee, Sandy. They were last seen here after the wedding of Rick's cousin Laura out in California in June.
A couple of months ago they let us know that they were engaged. (They are currently living out in Eugene, OR where Rick is an arborist with a tree company and Sandy is in her third year of law school.) This week they set a date and sent out announcements. Sunday, May 17, 2009 is the date. (Although that's not what they had on the announcement! Rick put the 13th, a Wednesday, on the card in error.) The wedding will be a small one held in the Eugene area. It is their desire to keep it simple and the guest list will be mostly immediate family.
Sandy's sister is also in the Eugene area but her folks live in Chicago, while we are here in PA and Grandma and Rick's sister are in NJ.
If you get into the story of where they met (Armonk, NY) while Rick was going to school at the University of Idaho in Moscow and then how they got back together after several years (and a deployment to Iraq with the Marines out of Spokane, WA) all the way across the country.... It's pretty interesting.
Sandy will be completing her studies this spring and then taking the bar exam in the fall. She wishes to become a child advocate.
Rick will continue to work as a certified arborist and is looking to obtain full certification as a forester the future.
