Iowa Wedding (Nov. 3-5)

One of Andrew's Hope College friends, Eric Howland, was married in Marshalltown, Iowa to a woman we had not previously met, Holly.

We flew through the night to arrive the day of the rehearsal. It was great seeing Dave Yang, Tyler Bing and Nate Hansen. We enjoyed a round of frisbee golf the morning of the big day. Some things haven't changed since college: one frisbee landed on the roof. Andrew retrieved it standing atop the shoulders of two guys standing atop two stacked picnic tables. College education in action: problem solving.

Jen was dubbed an honorary groomsmen as she hung with the boys most of the weekend. When she was apart, it was usually on a special-ops mission like making a Wal Mart run late at night or sneaking into the honeymoon suite to add a little something special for the Howlands. She enjoyed the boys and their never ending humor.



The wedding was nice, rather warm up front, and thus had a groom sweating profusely. Everyone was prepared for him to topple, but he held his ground and stayed on both feet. The weather was wonderful for November in Iowa. The dancing at the reception was one of the best we have been to. At one point, Jen and Andrew were the only two on the floor. Seeing Eric and Holly the following morning at their gift-opening brunch was special. We love you guys!
