In the short term, aged Vermont cheddar:

That is a regular sized cracker just to give you a scale of how big the cheese is. We sliced this off of a wheel we found in a country store on Saturday. More general pics from the weekend in the gallery including our field trip on Friday, me being attacked by a python and Keegan doing gymnastics.

In the long term, this beautiful villa:

We will get married on the beach in front and celebrate in the rear courtyard with a bridge that crosses the lily pond and leads to the private pool. Fantasy come true.

Gorgeous! And the villa looks good too! (Just kidding). Checked out the pics: Once again, I must compliment Keegan on his eyewear - tres stylish. Also, I recognize that blue hat - it's G*p, right? Colin has the same one in green (with matching swim trunks). You are looking like a skinny-minny - can't wait to see you in August!
