Let's Get This Party Started!


It's already been two weeks since my parents, Anne, and Tanner came out to Ohio for a 4 day visit. Grandpa and Grandma Tuttle flew in Wednesday Sept. 24 in the evening and Anne and Tanner flew in Thursday Sept. 25 in the afternoon. Tanner had just proposed to Anne the night before they flew in to see us. It was fun to meet Tanner for the first time, see them together, and hear all about their engagement story. The quick version of his proposal extraordinaire is that he proposed to Anne on a movie set, set in Paris France. They filmed and acted out a little scene that Tanner had written and at the end Tanner surprised Anne by proposing to her! They captured the whole thing on film and we had the pleasure of watching their movie and were all very impressed with how creative and romantic it was- just the way Anne would like it.



Since Anne had already celebrated her birthday with a bang and some BLING we decided that the next best thing to her being engaged right before her birthday was to go BOWLING on her birthday. So on Friday, Sept. 26th we started the day off with a run, then we went bowling, ate dinner at North Star Cafe,' and ended it with some cake, ice cream, and shopping at Tuttle Mall.




On Saturday, Sept. 27th Tanner and Anne (although avid BYU fans) put on OSU t-shirts and yelled "O-H-I-O" once or twice as they "cheered" on the Buckeyes in OSU's first home game of the Big Ten Conference verses Wisconsin.



Before the game we went to the OSU pep-rally affectionatley named the "Skull Session" where my mom and I got down and danc'n as the marching band showed their stuff!



We didn't get any pictures of us dancing at the Skull Session but here are some of us inside the stadium (a.k.a. the Shoe, which seats around 106,000 crazy buckeye fanatics!).

We didn't get to sit together in the same section but my parents, Anne, and Tanner are there out there somewhere.



Sunday morning we said goodbye to everyone. We are grateful for the time we had with them. Seth loves his granparents and is excited to see them again soon!

Jenny,

Oh! I'm so jealous! How did you get a picture with Brutus?!? I'm not going to be a true buckeye fan until I have my very own picture with Brutus! I'm adding that to my "Must Do Before I Move from Columbus" list right now.

xoxo,
The Most Converted Buckeye Fan You'll Ever Meet

P.S. Glad you had a good time with your family (I know that was really the point of this post as much as I do tend to get distracted.)

P.P.S. Yes, I deleted my first comment. Yes, I am that anal retentive about grammar. Yes, I am an English teacher.
