University of Texas - Best Party School?!

Not the greatest distinction for the institution that will be granting my doctoral degree...but I'll take it. UT can be superior both scholastically and socially!!! Hook 'em!

We had a great time on our honeymoon in Jamaica. Click the picture to see pics of the wedding and the honeymoon. I've also included pics of the shower that Margot planned for us and pictures from the days leading up to the wedding. 

Cooper made the news!!!

Cooper's in the Austin American Statesman's Audio Slide Show (Click here to see it). In this picture, Cooper is the smallest one in the front of the pack. This weekend we took Cooper to his first Pug Meetup and there was a reporter there taking pictures. She liked Cooper because she took several pics of him and included them in the slideshow. In addition to the pic shown here, he is also shown in a series of three pictures in which he is running through the water. If you look closely at the third picture, you can see his name tag says, "Cooper." Very cool! 

We're married!!!

We did it! I'm so glad that we are married. All the planning and preparing was worth it. The wedding was perfect and the reception was more fun than I could have ever imagined.
