Winter 2009
This year promises to have many new adventures!
New Year's in Atlanta, 2009
Christmas 2008: Together at Home!
This story is amazing... suffice to say, Justin's maternal grandmother is Italian, and we met some
of the family over the holiday!
Hanging out with Wen, and our new
cousin Francesca just before heading
out with a group CLUBBIN'! Ye-ah!
The new family... building ties.
Our new

Christmas dinner with our new friends:
Eric and Callie (yep, Nash got a head
start on eating)
Vegas, Jan 2009
After some careful planning Jess, John, Bennett, Sam, Justin, and Katie met in Vegas for an
awesome and unforgettable weekend where we packed in a month's worth of activities in 3
days...needless to say it was a rough following workweek!
We saw Hoover Dam (I pretended to be a
transformer), went to eat at the Venetian,
saw the Bellagio fountains, gambled (we
lost $20 :(  ), and then Partied like it was
2009!
Before we headed out at night,
we'd have a few drinks..Here's
Bennett when the night kicked off
(above) and the cab ride back to
the hotel at 7 pm (left).  Hooraa
Bennett!
