Announcing... Mr. & Mrs. Kaessner

Well, since I haven't posted a picture of Sharon and I since our wedding (almost 2 years ago!) I thought maybe it was about time. We snapped a picture on our patio earlier this week... here it is! Enjoy!

I am Seasonally Challenged

Yes, folks, it's official: I have been diagnosed as 'Seasonally Challenged.' It's a new disorder, though more and more people are being diagnosed with it. Basically it means that I'm a Grinch and didn't want a Christmas tree.

Thanks to Ellie Leuthy, I now have one lovely 4 ft tree resting comfortably in my living room (thanks Ellie!). This beautiful artificial tree boasts one string of lights, a red bow, an angel gracing the upper boughs, and shiny/glittery red sparkle thingies hanging all over. Compliments to Sharon for her arduous efforts at setting up this tree and decorating.

The best part is that our gracious benefactor has agreed to take upon herself the storage and upkeep liability for this beautiful tree. When the season is over (in 5 days!!) we will take down the tree and return it to it's original owner for storage. What a deal, huh! (Again, thanks Ellie!!)
