IL gathering in NM

Grad school buddy Greg got married on Sat. We hardly got a chance to know him since he got his MS degree and got out. A mere vapour of time for us grizzled, long-term grad students. Our pics from the wedding are generally no good, so here's our 'best' shot of the bride and groom.
Fellow U of I grad students, Dave and TL flew out from soggy, dreary WA to enjoy the festivities and some sunshine. Here's an oldie but goodie from TL's piano masters' recital, shortly after they started dating.

We're quite proud that they met each other at a Bible study in our house in Urbana. They stayed at our place for the weekend, so we had much time to catch up. One reason for needing to catch up is that both Jill and Chad are really terrible at calling friends on the phone. Why? It's hard to say -- we love seeing friends in person. Talking on the phone just doesn't feel the same.
To make up for the lack of chile in their lives, we drove up to Santa Fe to eat at The Shed and wander around the plaza.

Really, some day we'll have to visit them in WA. I hear it's nice sometimes in June, July, or Aug. Can't wait!
