About Us

ABOUT BENNETT
Bennett graduated from Otterbein College in 2002. He is currently a Project Manager with August Mack Environmental in Dublin, Ohio.
HOW WE MET
We met at a little get-together I had when I was house sitting for Mom & Dad. He came up to me, introduced himself and thanked me for having him out. He had tagged along with some of the other Zeta guys I had invited. (Thanks to my brother, Jeff, and friend Jamie) We took a moonlit walk down to the water where he told me of his fear of frogs and aliens.
THE PROPOSAL
Christmas 2004, we went out to dinner and to the Nutcracker. After the show, as we walked out of the theater, I saw a big black limousine sitting in front of the theater. Right as I got ready to say, “Oh, Ben, I want to ride in a limo sometime” (as I do each time I see one) he whispered, “I have a surprise, this one is for us.” So, I jumped into the limo just as fast as I could. He got in and opened a bottle of wine and we drove around and around looking at the Christmas lights . Soon, we were at the Columbus Crew stadium, where we had our first date. We got out of the limo and headed for the field. I could see two chairs sitting alone on the the field, and then one of our favorite songs started to play throughout the entire stadium. The whole place was empty and the lights were shining onto the field. We were walking around when I noticed a slide show of pictures of us on the score board. He said, jokingly, “I bought the field for you!” We went to the chairs and watched the rest of the slide show. Then, our favorite song came on. We stood up and started to dance. He said the most wonderful things to me, and then he reached into his pocket, pulled out a ring, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said, “Of course I’ll marry you.” We cried and laughed and danced for a while longer and then he started waiving to someone. He had invited my parents and brothers to be there and watch the whole thing (and to catch it all on video). So they came onto the field and started crying and laughing along with us. It was the most wonderful and magical night of my life. It still feels like a dream!

Hi Ben, Bethany, and baby Jude:
GREAT PICTURES! We're so glad you're doing so well. Jude is absolutely precious! Thanks for sharing...the pictures are great, until we get to see Jude in person! You've been abundantly blessed! I check this site every day to see if there are new postings...I look forward to more! Love, Mary Ann, Bob, & Sue
Thanks! We are absolutely overjoyed with him. He can get fussy and we spend a lot of time walking in circles and bouncing him, but every second is worth it. We try to have reading time and prayer time everyday, (depending on if he cooperates) and we are telling him about all of the family. Thanks for checking the blog. First bathtime pictures will be coming soon.

Cute kid, but why would you want to ruin his future by making him wear that Ohio State garbage?
I think you have your teams mixed up. Michigan colors are maize and blue.
Hey guys!
Nathaniel told me to check out your page and your adorable new addition. George and I have officially moved back to Columbus, so perhaps we'll see each other soon.
