So it begins like this....
My niece Hannah, from California, fell in love with a Michigan guy..go figure!
They were both summer interns at Styker Corp in CA!
Not only is he from Michigan, he attended UofM...which made her dad, a UofM grad himself, one happy guy! (and he knew how to play euchre) ...And not only is Eric from Michigan, he's a Yooper!
He grew up in St Ignace.
He was a shoe in, if you ask me!
Eric, Kyle (his brother) and their sister, Nicole have/are playing for UofM. So, while Tod & Julie were here from CA.we were privileged to go see Nicole play at the Crilser Arena!
Here we are having lunch at a deli near the UofM campus.
Trent is a M fan!
Here he is in all his glory!
Troy, Trent & I

Uncle Tod & Trent proudly wearing their M shirts!
(I think I see a tear in his eye..he got a little choked up entering the Arena)

Eric, Kyle & Nicole + Hannah...she needs to get a little higher!
that's better Hannah!
A special Thanks to Nicole for getting us the tickets!
We had a great time together! The Elmblads are a wonderful family! Hannah is a very lucky girl to be a part of their family (coming in August) and they are lucky to get such a great gal!
We can't wait to see you all again in August at the wedding!
