This picture is cool because you can see the Carroll campus in the valley below us. We'd met 6 years earlier to the day, when I joined the girls for a drive out to Homecoming. Tom Goedde & The Tahoes were born that weekend. I always knew Katie and I had something special, but even I couldn't have imagined how great this moment would be... Totally took Katie by surprise, she needed a minute to regroup. :-)
Mary Larson Mahar (photographer), Joe Mahar, Katie Penny, Thad Michelson, Blue the Black Lab and Willie Sewell made the 3 mile hike fairly easily. Thad made it extra special by sneaking Champagne up the mountain in Blue's supply pack.
Mary and KP take a break as their heartbeats hit 240BPM. No really, Mary is an RN and she calculated their BPM at 240. She's really putting those Carroll College math skillz to use in the field. I eventually helped out by observing that there were only 60 seconds in a minute, not 100...
I'd lined up another big surprise up for later that night. Katie and my parents traveled to join us for a surprise engagement party with Carroll friends and family. The liquor was flowing that night! So much so, that I got my parents (Jim & Jackie) into these get-ups...
Here we are, Tom Goedde & the Tahoes. Monica "Mikey" Gomez, Katie Penny, Tom, Katie, Mary Larson. This was at the traditional Tahoe engagement party. The girls take these opportunities to make fools out of the guests of honor, and themselves...
We're looking forward to rejoining the Carroll homecoming festivities next year. More Mack pics to come soon!!!
