B&R's Farewell Open House, Aug. 14

As we mentioned, D-Day is Aug. 19. Very soon. So soon, in fact, that we have found ourselves wondering how we could connect with everyone (despite our best intentions, our "free" summer has filled up rather completely, and we realize that it might not be possible to get out for coffee with everyone before we depart).

We would very much like to see you before we go. So, we've decided to have an open house on Sunday, August 14 in order to open an opportunity to do just that.

Occasion: Brent & Rosalee's Farewell Open House
Date: Sunday, August 14.
Time: 2:00pm until 6:00pm
Location: Bill and Grace van Staalduinen's house, 53 Nellida Cres. in Hamilton. For a map of the location, click here:

It's an open house, so feel free to come and go as you please during those hours. Best wishes only, please, and finger foods/liquid refreshment are on us.

So just bring yourselves--we can't wait to see you! If you have any questions, e-mail to brentandrosalee@hotmail.com or call 905-648-7204.

Garage Sale/BBQ Day

Summer. Hot Weather and Garage sales...

Well, we've had much of the former, so we figured a little of the latter was definitely in order.

On Saturday, July 23, B&R are hosting a garage sale/bbq day at their place (961 Garner Rd.) to get rid of some old stuff and get together with some loved ones. So, if you're around Hamilton on Saturday, drop by and say hello... the garage sale starts at 7:30-8:00am.

Hope to See you there!

...and now, the next phase

Okay, time to update everyone.

The wedding day itself was a smash... great fun, great weather, and great people to share it with. The honeymoon was great, a road-trip out east with camping, hiking, and other "easty" shenanigans.

Thanks again to everyone who came, helped out, and blessed us with gifts on our wedding day. You're amazing.

More information to follow, of course, but life's still a-settlin'! Come back often to our site for regular updates and photos.

Love y'all!
