Excitement in North Dakota!

We'll send out invitations just to let you guys have one (since I know no one is able to come), but I wanted to announce it here....

Eden Elizabeth Boda and Mathew Steven Derry are engaged and getting married on Eden's birthday, Sept. 8th. The wedding will take place under the gazebo at Harmon Park in Williston.

We haven't set a reception site yet, but should by week's end. I'll update you all when I know. I did, however, get the cake ordered, so that is something!

They have a few places they've registered and if you are interested, here they are:

JC Penney's

Target

They are also registered at WalMart, (duh)

I'll update again soon and we'll send out invites next week sometime.

LOVE TO ALL!

This is how we do it...

in Funky Town!

Old news

This is old news now, but I don't know if y'all ever got to see a photo of Nathan graduating in June. Plus, I figure it's never too late for some bragging! :)

Nathan graduated in less than a year from the very prestigious University of Chicago with a Master's in history. His GPA was super high and he received very high remarks on his thesis. And, he was by far the most handsome graduate UofC has ever seen.

Candy, Steve, Rachel, Matt, Owen, and Isla came all the way up for the festivities. Steve took some really adorable pictures of their Chicago trip--don't let him hold out on you! But here's a very quick sneak peak of some of the cuteness:

I can't wait until they come back again! We had a terrible experience with bed bugs right before their visit, so our move out of graduate student housing had been delayed. When they visited we were still in the process of getting everything moved over to our new place, then Nate got sick, so we weren't the best of hosts. But we still had a blast! Next time we'll be totally equipped for the full Chi-town experience.

Now you may be asking yourself, "What has our boy genius been doing since graduation?" Researching the inner workings of the Chicago hot dog, of course!

Hee, hee....that was on a visit to the Chicago History Museum (which is very cool!). Nate is looking for work in a horrible economy, but we remain optimistic that he will find something. I really believe that he is capable of doing anything he sets his mind to. In the meantime, we're trying to get some summer fun in.

Yours truly from the Windy City,

Randi Hensley

p.s. Come visit! We have an air mattress! :)
