Wedding Bells!!!

After a few years of dating, a big move from DC to Lansing Michigan, and many many camping trips under their belts-- I am excited beyond belief to say that Joe and Christin are tying the knot!!! I couldn't be happier that Christin is joining the family officially. The past few years she has already been a member and this step for these two puts me at ease knowing she ain't going anywhere :) When Joe introduced me to Christin in D.C. back in 2010 when I was visiting for a career trip in grad school, I knew she was someone special. She never interrupts Joe (like I do), she is patient and kind, and genuinely interested in Joe's passions for the outdoors. Her commitment to Joe and his ambitious pursuit of a PhD touched us all when she decided she would embark on her own parallel adventure in Lansing.  As Joe's "follower" (to borrow the Ugandan term) I have continued to be so appreciative of all that Christin brings to our family. I can't imagine the past years of memories without her! Us Nohner's are all counting our lucky stars that Joe and Christin are in it to win it :)

I mean, come on! She flew up to cheer me on in the Boston Marathon! How great is that?!
She not only tackled baking an apple pie for the family . . . 
She did it with this wacko in the kitchen! ;)
She swims and plays with our cousins as if they were her own :)
Completes the threesome of sisters- and was a great fun at Nick & Nicki's wedding, helping us with --
getting the groom's dinner just right (and with the most adorable catch phrase around!) 
You can bet we are thrilled to return the favor now that it is her turn!
And most importantly, since the day they met- Joe has had this smile on his face. And THAT my friends, is what it's truly all about.

Love you both, can't wait to celebrate! Congratulations!!!!
