Rick's Retirement Party

Rick retired from Rockwell Collins after 42 years of service. He was computer-aided draftsman. Mary Etta did a great job at getting the party together and it was a complete surprise. Rick went golfing with a few of the guys before hand and some of the girls got to preparing! Needless to say, Rick was surprised when he pulled in!

TN Wedding

The wedding of Jessica Climer and Rob Johns was June 6, 2009. It took place at Blackhaven Garden in Lebanon, TN. It turned out to be a beautiful day to have it outside. I could not be happier for Rob and Jessica. Jessica and I have known each other since kindergarden and grew up together, where we got to know Rob in Jr High. Rob and Jessica were high school sweethearts!
