meet the family

let me start by saying,
the reason i was so shocked by the proposal was mainly because matt had initially explained that he wouldn't propose until i met his family, who are all in ohio. this was reasonable enough. the shock of the engagement, then, was due to the fact that i graduated on the 12th and we weren't supposed to leave for ohio until the 16th. even though i knew it was coming, i was completely caught off guard (in the good, engagements-should-be-surprising sort of way). above are a few pictures from our time in ohio. top to bottom: a picture of me and matt in ohio state and texas woman's university sweaters; a picture of matt with his dad and his dad's fiance, jacquie; a picture of us with matt's stepdad david, mom patricia, sister heather and nephew jeremiah; and a picture of me back home as an official buckeye in texas. thank you to all you kind ohioans who made it so much fun to visit!
