Katie and Nicole

Jake and Rich

Congratulations Jake and Nicole Patterson! Rich and I were so excited to celebrate Jake and Nicole's wedding day on April 30th. Jake and Rich have been great friends since high school, and Nicole and I met while in the College of Education at ASU. We also happened to live on the same floor of Cholla Hall, with Carrie too!!...10 years ago! Nicole was all set to move back home to Chicago a few years ago, when Jake and Nicole reunited (at MY birthday party...thank you very much!) And here they are on the first day of their new life together!
