Liz and Andrew--newly engaged!
This isn't breaking news, but it's news that's made us all very happy. We got to met Liz's boyfriend Andrew before anyone else in the family (only because we live closest, but we pretend it's because Liz loves us best). Liz lives in Iowa City where she is a year-or-so from finishing her PhD in bio statistics. Andrew lives in Champagne, Illinois and is a year-or-so from finishing his PhD in physical chemistry (working with lasers, though I think his degree will officially be called something else). Sorry, Andrew, I should have had Travis check this before I posted. We had a wonderful weekend together in Minnesota. We spent the day at Lake Calhoun, biking, having a picnic, and canoeing. Liz and Andrew were great sports to have Anna in their canoe with them since Travis's and Emily's was full with Michael and Sarah. In the evening we got a babysitter and went out to eat at an Italian restaurant. It was one of those perfect evenings with perfect weather and perfect companions. Andrew is a great guy. He can talk optics with Travis, and he loves to garden and cook! Best of all, he adores Liz, who has always been one of our favorites. We've seen a lot of each other while both living in the Midwest. We couldn't be happier that these two wonderful people are getting married.
