Time to relax...

The next two weeks will be full of work, working out, and relaxation. Stephanie is back in San Fancisco for the week. She is working hard on her codes for PG&E. She got out of there before the big explosion last week. I am sure there was lots of talk at work about what happened!

Steph and I are in saving mode as we try to save money for our housefund, so we are having some low-key weekends for the next few. We don't have any major plans until we get to the end of the month and my family comes to town for Petit.

This is the event I wait for every year. I cannot wait to have my family there, as well as some of Stephanie's family. I am going to take a TON of pictures.

more later...

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary Baby! We are at our one year mark! We made it.
We have faced challenges together, but through thick and thin, we proved to one another that we are a strong team together.  We have had some amazing times in such a short time period. Everything we do together, from going to the drive-in, to boating and traveling has been amazing with you. It is nice to know that we can roll a crazy life, and the next minute, go somewhere and just relax together quietly.

We have also spent so much time apart over the years, day after day, but when your home, its the greatest feeling in the world. Distance, does makes the heart grow fonder....it also makes for crappy sleep in between. 
 
We have endured many challenges, but none were able to slow us down. We tackled them all with strength together. I am glad that we got through your procedures, and got a handle on all of the issues. Your health getting back to normal was as special to me, as the wedding was. Your one tough chick. You amaze me.

I look forward to many, many years of growth and exploration in all that we do. We have so many plans for the future, it is impossible not to look forward to them. Each adventure a destination, each destination an adventure. There is no one on earth I would rather live my crazy life with. I love you with all of my heart, now and forever.

Love, Andy

Next on the agenda....

Now that Boston is done, you would think we could rest on the couch. That is somewhat true, at least for a few weeks.

One major event that is going on this week is Stephanie and I celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary! We really don't have major plans because we are doing a cruise in December to celebrate it a bit late. So I think we will relax and enjoy the weekend!

While we just saw my parents in Boston, my sister and her husband were unable to attend. Definitely a bummer, but lucky for us, the next item on the agenda will include everyone. At the end of the month the American Lemans Series Petit Lemans race will be held here in North Georgia. Over the last few years I have been attending the event with my father-in-law. (other than last year while we were on our honeymoon!)

I went with my dad, Sara and Mark for the first time just after I moved to Atlanta. Little did I know, my future wife, and her family were also there. Now it is a family tradition! I will be taking a day off to attend almost all of the race weekend while others including Stephanie will only be there on Saturday for the main race.



Exciting things are still going on here at the Hinze House. We still have Houston, Vegas and a cruise left over this year! One of these days I will get Stephanie to add to this blog.

We hope this finds you all in good health. And look forward to posting more items as we walk through life together. Stay tuned for updates!

Boston weekend!

The weekend in Boston is over, we are home and back to our regular programs, but wow, what a weekend!

We flew into Boston on Thursday night really late, and met up with my parents in the morning on Friday. From there we set off to the Samuel Adams Brewery for a tour. It was an interesting tour, short, and informative. Not that much to see actually as the small brewery is home only to beer made for Boston itself. The rest is brewed in Ohio, and Pennsilvania.

We were able to take the train everywhere in town, and that made moving from place to place easily. We also saw the N.E. Aquarium on Friday and enjoyed that as well. Atlanta's Aquarium is better, but it was cool anyhow.We also had a few nice dinners out, both by ourselves, and with my family as well.

Saturday we went to a Red Sox game, which because of the hurricane ended up being a double header. The Sox were not playing well, and lost every game that weekend. I think something like 3 or 4 in a row! UGH!

The wedding was Sunday on campus at Harvard. We didn't get a chance to walk around campus, but maybe next time. The ceremony was beautiful, and short, to the point! From there, some Boston Trollies picked up the guests and took us to Boston Beer Works Brewery for the reception.

Had a great time, got to see alot of people we rarely have time or the means to see. By the end of the night, around 12, we were tired and decided to walk it back to the hotel.  The following morning we packed up and left for home. 

These are just a sample of pictures taken while in Boston, there are 300 more on my Flickr account.
