I left New Zealand on the horizon only last friday, and so much has happened since then. The trip was excrucuating, but after a sleepless 23 hour trip, I arrived in Columbus and was literally jumped by Laura!!! We had been waiting for that moment for two months...which was two months too long.
Laura's graduation went well. The Dotterer and Bruner families joined us in Columbus for the afternoon. John Glen spoke about having a "why not" attitude, and was able to work in some good humor. Laura's name took up three lines in the program.
Laura Jo Bruner, Wauseon
Magna Cum Laude
with Honors Research Distinction
in Plant Health Management
Before leaving New Zealand, my co-workers saw me off with a "stag and doe do" instead of the traditinal "stag do" (bachelor party) they throw. Everyone in my work complex called it an early day and joined up in the tea room for snacks, beer and wine. I found it a little strange that I was drinking on the job only two months after starting. I think I'll fit in well.
This week has flown by. Laura and I spent a few days in Mansfield and now we are back in Wauseon taking care of last minute details. The Bruner's took me out for a round of golf yesterday. I think Grandpa Strayer got the worst team and he quickly found out how terrible I was at golf, but we managed to finish without throwing out our arms and we had a little fun too!
Well I gotta run Aaron to get his haircut so that's all for now. Thanks to everyone who has made this week a great week for Laura and I. We'll catch up with the blog when things settle down a little.
