Welcome to Rich & Barbara's website!



2005
As we begin 2005, we thought it was time to update our website and reflect on 2004. The links below are some of the highlights of 2005:

2004
2004 was a pretty good year for us. It was our first full year of marriage, and we were very relieved to not have to deal with the wedding planning and moving stress that was the hallmark of 2003. We settled into a normal (for us, LOL) married routine. We tackled a few projects around our house. We even managed to take some trips and have some fun! The list and links below are some of the highlights of 2004:

Hocking Hills (snow and ice)
Hocking Hills (summer)
Paramount King's Island Amusement Park (August)
Cuyahoga Valley National Park (Barbara's birthday in September)
Katie and Tom's Wedding(October 1st)
Hocking Hills (belated anniversary trip, early November)
Blackwater Falls State Park, WV (December trip)

2003
2003 was the year we were married and the year we bought a house and tried to move 2 condos worth of stuff into it 3 weekends before the wedding. Throw in a car accident that very same weekend and you have a recipe for a stress-related meltdown. Did we mention that we had decided that we were going to have the rehearsal dinner at our new house? And that we were making all the food ourselves? Oh, and that Barbara had the brilliant idea to make all the invitations, placecards, and favors as well as incredibly intricate and time-consuming wedding programs? Yeah, we were both high on love or something. If Barbara's mom had not come to the rescue, things would have gotten ugly. Boy, were we happy to get to our honeymoon in Arizona!
