Andy and Jenn Get ENGAGED in Roma!


Our 34 year old son Andrew, who lives in Las Vegas, and his girlfriend Jenn flew to Roma for a vacation. Before I arrived in Roma today to spend a few days with the two of them, Andrew had asked Jenn to marry him and she said YES!

He proposed to her on the very romantic Spanish Steps here in Roma. We are all very happy for them and, of course, their English bulldog Blitz!

Congrats! Glad to see it all came together! And what's a visit to Rome without going to the Vatican! (George: have they given you a 'frequent visitor card' yet?)


Ciao,

J. Twice

It is such an exciting time. My youngest son got married last August and they got engaged in Paris. Nothing ordinary about this new generation. I was engaged in my home town - how about you?

George: You did great with the "reporting" and the pictures of the Happy Couple. Thanks! Wish I could have been there. Give my love to both of them.

Terry,

We got engaged in our town after a faculty basketball game fundraiser in Thousand Oaks, CA. It was love not romance I'm now sorry to say!

Jason,

Catholics don't need a frequent visitor card to visit St. Peter's.
