Paul was Jarrod's confirmation sponsor. Jarrod selected the confirmation name of St. Paul, after our grandpa on mom's side and of his soon to be big brother-in- law.

My family along with the addition of Paul at Jarrod's confirmation this year.

Paul and Jarrod after a home football game.

Paul with my cousin Daniel's daughter Kennedy. She warmed up to Paul really fast, I think she likes being up high, as Paul is much taller than her dad.

Paul enjoys hanging out with his dad Dallas and brother Ben.

Paul graduated from the university on May 5th. We had a great time closing the pizza bar with many friends and family.

Check out the web page that we have created to showcase our summer mural project. Go to www.ops.org/marrs and click on media center, that should take you right to it. ENJOY!

Paul proposed to me on top of a look-out tower in Iowa over-looking the bluffs. We had gone up there to hike, or so I thought.

Paul had his senior football banquet this year. He also received his second conference championship ring.

The wedding is less than a year away, and the famous question from family and friends is... "Do you have everything planned?" The answer... Well we know it is going to be in Omaha, we have the photographer, DJ, reception hall, food, beer, wedding party, and Church. We are working on the wedding list so that we know how much cake to order. My mother says plan for 450 people, with such a large family.

Besides wedding planning Paul and I are enjoying our summer before the big day. Paul has graduated college in Criminal Justice and he has a new job. I am teaching summer school again, however it is really easy because my school has received a grant on diversity so we are creating a mural with students on South Omaha Diversity. Paul and I are looking at getting a house sometime in Novemeber together, so keep checking in to see where we are in our house search.
