Corrine and I had a fun time last night, it was Miami’s Charter Day Ball celebrating our 200th Anniversary as an institution. It was a busy day, with moving Dan & Katie into a new place, a hockey game (that Miami won in a shootout) and the Ball, but it was a lot of fun. Rumor has it that there were 5000 people in attendance for the event. This has been my 4th Charter Day Ball, the last 2 have been with Corrine and those are the 2 I remember the best, and the Ball yesterday was much better then the last one we went to. Maybe it was because it was the big 200th celebration, or what, but things seemed better. They were laid out better, things seemed to flow better, something. But I think we liked it better.
We danced a little, had some good food, and had an overall nice time. Here are the pictures we took. The first are of Corrine & I, and the 3 is of Dennis and Elan(Probably the most excited couple on the dance floor. But more about that later.)
Miami is now officially 200 years old. Only the 10th school to ever reach this mark. Quite an awesome acomplishment. Yesterday Corrine and I got to attend the Charter Day Celebration to commemorated Miami’s founding 200 years ago. It was an great event, there was an official unveiling by representatives of the U. S. Postal Service of a commemorative postal card honoring Miami. There was also a video montage that told the story of Miami’s 200 years. I’m hoping that this will be available online so you can all see it. I’ll post a link to it once I see it is available.
Here is a link to the photos taken by Miami, and it will continue to include photos from events through out the year.
I had a pretty nice birthday, quite a few birthday greetings on Facebook. That night we had a very high wind storm. All night we had high winds. Sustained wind of over 40MPH and gusts of over 60 MPH. Needless to say we lost many more shingles during the storm, I spent a lot of time today after work collecting the shingles from all over the back yard. Now we definately need to get our roof fixed. Hopefully the weather will break soon and Terry will be able to replace our roof soon.
