Jason and Desiree come to Philly

Single tear...

Jason and Desiree just came and visited Sarah and me. They left about an hour ago...and I'm still saddened. They're such a great couple! If anyone gets the chance, make sure you have them visit you. They were a joy to host and walk around Philly with. We saw Love Park, artwork, the Art Museum stairs, Logan's Circle, and the giant clothespin. We walked a lot, we talked a lot, and we ate a lot. What could be better? As an added bonus, we went bowling at North Bowl, where Sarah and I both had at least 150 points! (and two consecutive strikes!) It was a night for the ages. Somehow, we also had the DJ giving out free beer to lanes that would get a strike within 2 minutes. Well, we didn't get one like a few other lanes did, but he gave our lane a free one anyway, calling it a "pity pitcher." I still don't know why he picked ours, since there were several other lanes that didn't get anything! Maybe it was because we had two cute girls at ours...I don't know for sure. Anyway, we ended up giving some of ours away to the guys next to us who couldn't believe we'd give away beer. They were pretty happy though! Amazing how surprised people can get at a simple gift.

Speaking of surprises, Jason and Des decided to SURPRISE the world by GETTING ENGAGED THIS WEEK! They said they'd release more information as they got back from vacation, but they were keeping the information from Facebook and swearing everyone to secrecy to make sure that we and the Carters didn't find out. Well, the secret's out now, so it's public information to all. What a joyous time of celebration!
