Wedding Colors/Flowers Chosen
Wedding Planning Update: We had a tough time deciding on colors and flowers with the bright red carpet in the church and maroon carpet and decor in the reception area, but finally decided on Blue and Cream. And for flowers, we are going with calla lilies among other flowers. Lots of fun!!

Packers or Lions? Greta speaks out!
So Michelle and I recently had the opportunity to ask my niece Greta who her favorite NFL team is. The Packers (her dad's team) or the Lions (my team). I'll let the pictures tell the story.
So first, we asked Greta what she thought of the Packers.
And she actually stuck her tongue out! Can you believe it?
You can tell she's thinking hard! But then her expression told us exactly who she roots for.

Happy start of the football season, everyone!
Trip to Da U.P., eh.
Michelle and I went up to da U.P. of Michigan over Labor Day weekend to attend the 50th anniversary reunion for my college fraternity. We were in Houghton/Hancock, MI, home of Michigan Tech University. Here's a little breakdown of what we did. I'll add pictures when I have more time.
While the weather was topping out over 110 all weekend here in LA, we were enjoying beautiful 75 and sunny weather. Couldn't have been better.
There were about 200 fraternity brothers in attendance, from those who founded the fraternity in 1957 all the way to active members. I didn't hear a final count, but I think there were about 350 people total when wives, girlfriends, and kids were included.
While we were up there, I got to see all the changes to my old fraternity house as well as give Michelle her first look into the place I called home for 3 years in college. It looks great. They've really done a nice job of upgrading it every year.
We also did some "Copper Country Cruisin'". The area is known as the Copper Country because of the copper mining boom that took place in the 1800's. Cruisin' is just driving around and seeing all the beautiful scenery and quaint little old mining towns. We drove the 50 or so miles up to the tip of the peninsula and went to the peak of Brockway Mountain. Not quite a California sized mountain (only 1000 feet or so), but we could see Lake Superior in 3 directions. Absolutely gorgeous.
We also took a tour of Tech. A lot has changed in the past 7 years. It seemed like every classroom had half a dozen huge flatscreen tv's to display what the professor was teaching. Very high tech. And the library is all brand new. As with the fraternity house, things always get better when you leave, it seems.
I also introduced Michelle to tostada pizza at one of my favorite restaurants, The Ambassador. I really miss that place. We also toured some of my other favorite stomping grounds (i.e. bars) and had a great time.
We'll get some pictures up soon.
