4th of july

we had a great 4th of july weekend! for some reason in columbus, everyone really celebrates on the 3rd. so, on the 3rd we rode our bikes to our friends' zach and katie's and had some drinks, then went downtown to see the big fireworks display. we then went to a new restaurant, dirty franks, for a late night snack. then on the 4th we went to our favorite little town, granville, for their street fair. (it's a small, gorgeous little town that you must see next time you're in town). we even got to play a few games of bingo, and jamie won our very first hand! after the fair we went to new albany for their fireworks. and on sunday jamie and i had a little cookout, just the 2 of us. it was a great weekend!


on the pirate ship ride. katie and i were able to talk jamie and zach into riding, even though they were terrified!


that smile was NOT on zach face about 45 seconds after this picture was taken.




the BINGO champion!

our honeymoon

sorry we are such slackers! here are a few pics from our honeymoon in ocho rios, jamaica. we had a great time, even though we didn't see the sun for more than 10 minutes. everyone was so friendly. jamaicians are soooo sarcastic, which of course i love! now we just need another vacation to look forward to!
