The Dude Abides....
This picture was taken waaaay back in September of 1998. We hadn't even been going out for a year yet! No,we normally don't get all dressed up-we were at his friend TJ's wedding.

In case you didn't guess by now, Mike's not only a computer programmer but he's also my boyfriend! We've been dating, as of July 13th, for something like 3 1/2 years. Most of that time was long distance because he went to SUNY Geneseo and I went to the College of Saint Rose.

Needless to say, he liked Geneseo a lot more than I liked St. Rose because he graduated there May '00(in case you were wondering it was really cold and rainy and of course I packed all summer clothes because the week before the weather had been 90 degree heat).

Anyway, "the Dude abides" comes from the best Cohen brother's movie out there and one of our favorites,The Big Lebowski. When you go to rent it,tell them Jackie Treehorn sent you..but if you didn't like it,well, that's like, your,opinion, man.
