Tressel

Jason and I were lucky enough on Saturday to clean up leaves. It was about a 3 1/2 hour job. We enjoy it so much we are thinking about quitting our jobs and starting out own company. Maybe we'll call it Raike's Raking Service. Alright so that is a big fat lie, we hate to do the leaves but having the trees in the back in the summer is nice because it is about 10 degrees cooler, well it is nice when the limbs aren't falling on our house or our neighbors. Anyways, hope everyone had a great turkey day. I know we did and we have so much to be thankful for!

OHIO STATE Big 10 Champs

OSU beats Michigan

The Aniimal Joe Laurinaitis

After the game we were waiting around and we saw The Animal coming up the stairs so Jason stopped him to see if he could get a picutre with him.




I spotted Laurinaitis at pre-game this is the picture I got of the back of him

OSU vs Michigan Fans after the game

Slim on the way home from the game--he watched the game at BW3's in Ann Arbor....sounds
like he spent more time drinking beer than he did watching the game.



Me and Jason after the game trying to warm up in the car

In this picture you can see all of the Michigan fans leaving and all the Buckeyes fans sticking around to support the Big 10 Champs.

Buckeyes in the stands



Here comes the best damn band in the land to show some support after the win

Buckeyes Win--Players head to the stands

This as close as we got to Gameday, which was outside of the Stadium and someone told us that is was inside so that is the way it went down.



View from out seats (we had pretty sweet seats) except we had only one other Buckeye fan within high-fiving distance. This was at the beginning of the game the Buckeyes and michigan both went out on the M but were both civil (Jason said he got chills), come to find out Tressel was in the middle of the teams

Myrtle Beach Trip

Last Wednesday my mom and Meredith's Mom (Jean) headed up to Toledo to stay as we were heading to the Detroit Airport early Thursday morning. Well when they arrived we went to dinner and on the spur of the moment decided to head to the Casino in Detroit and stay in a hotel close to the airport. We had a blast! Then Thursday morning it was off to Myrtle Beach to meet up with Meredith and my Aunt Vic and her friend Jewel! We had a great trip. Did some shopping, mom got to lay out in the sun and go swimming a few times. We hit up the arcade, went to some pretty fun restaurants. Got to relax a little. All in all just a great trip! Same time next year?

OH-----IO

Even in Myrtle Beach we had to watch our #1 Buckeyes beat up on Wisconsin.

Coral Beach Resort

View from hotel room. We stayed at the Coral Beach Resort. Very nice. There were a total of 10 hot tubs and pools (we counted to make sure), there was a restaurant, sports bar, arcade, and even a bowling alley in the hotel! We saw like 200 horses walking on the beach while we were there, which from the hotel room was cool. However, not so neat as you are trying to walk on the beach next to horse crap and horses gone wild. The horses had the beach so tore up it was hard to walk. But anyways, the pictures on them look neat.

Anyone Know a good Tree Removal Company?

Happy Birthday To ME

Jason got me some pretty pink roses (they didn't have orange tiger lillies-he tried) and took me to my favorite little Mexican Restaurant down the road. All in all a good day.

Lucas

As you can see we got to visit with Steve,Erin, Seth, and Lucas a couple of weeks ago. Here is a picture of Jason with Lucas.
