And, of course, fall in New York is fantastic!
We have plenty of snow in the winter. It makes our home look like a gingerbread house for Christmas.
In 2019, we saw the Taj Mahal in India. It was an incredible experience.
Sebastian is a minister with the Universal Life Church. In August, he married his cousin Jason to Marie for a surprise wedding in Seattle.
The September Honors retreat in the mountains on the lake with our students and colleagues. Here we are on the boat. It is a little cold out.

" I've been friends with Elyse and Sebastian for a long time. Over the years they've grown more in-sync as a couple, but they've always been loving, level-headed, and responsible. They've been good influences on our child and would make excellent parents. "
