Thesis defense scheduled

I've scheduled my thesis defense for 4:00 pm November 6th in Mackay Science. I'm excited about finishing my master's and presenting the results of my thesis.

Got married at Lake Tahoe

The biggest news in my life this fall is that Holly and I got married. We had a small ceremony at an old fire lookout that overlooks Lake Tahoe. The ceremony included exchanging vows that we had written and a champagne toast. The weather turned out to be beautiful on Sunday even though there was a 1/4 foot of snow on the ground on Friday. Reverend Stephanie of Carson City performed the ceremony. Liz Barrett was Holly's maid of honor and witness. Stephanie's daughter, Nadia, was our second witness, and Chester was present too. We have a wedding website that provides more details including a link to a photo gallery. The reception won't be held until May 24th, 2008 at Rancho San Rafael in Reno.
