1 Year Poem

Joe // June 26th, 2011 // No Comments »

It has been one amazing year of marriage! To think we are now in Riviera Maya, Mexico celebrating it blows my mind. We will be sure to share photos when we return, but until then…here is a poem I wrote for my lovely wife April!

Being married to you for a full year,
Has made me start to like beer.

I kid about the beer because we all know,
With you being a teacher the wine overflows!

I am so proud of you finishing a full year of teaching middle school,
You deserve a summer all by the pool.

We have experienced a lot these past 365 days that is fo sho,
And maybe a little too many episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians for Joe.

I am looking forward to the next year without a doubt,
As our life together is just getting started so watch out!

Love,
JoJo

Alternate endings:

  • As I really need to start working out.
  • But less carry out!
  • On the fishing trip I hope I catch plenty of rainbow trout!
  • Did I mention my wife is a knock out!
  • Did you hear GJ might come out?
  • And I am out of rhymes so I will tap out.

Pick Our Honeymoon Destination

Joe // January 5th, 2010 // 7 Comments »

Okay…you can’t really pick our honeymoon destination. April wants it to be a surprise and Joe needs your help picking it. The only requirements are somewhere nice in the Caribbean and an all inclusive resort. Please help a brother out by taking part in the below poll and leaving a comment! I am currently growing my hair out to look like the guy in the picture…

Quick Website Update

Joe // December 28th, 2009 // No Comments »

While we have been rather busy with work and other events, we were finally able to publish our Wedding Party page, as well as our Registry page. We also were able to take some great videos this holiday season and will be sure to write posts regarding the occasions shortly. Until then, be sure to join our e-mail list and follow OurLifestream on the right side of the homepage below the pictures.

And a special congratulations to Amanda Wiggins and Andrew Haynes (both in our wedding party) who became engaged on Christmas Eve!

The Aardvark Toast

Joe // September 8th, 2009 // 1 Comment »

This past weekend April and JoJo went to Livingston (April’s hometown) for her step-dad’s (Ralph) birthday party.  Saturday evening began with dinner and margaritas at Pueblo Viejo (April’s favorite!), followed by drinks with friends at Polk County’s finest establishment – Buster McNutty’s.  On Sunday, Ralph and Deb hosted a barbeque birthday bash with close friends and family.  Before the sun went down and the dance-off started (a Haynes/Jenke family tradition), April’s Uncle Blue gave a toast to the newly engaged couple, determined to somehow incorporate his favorite word – “aardvark” – into the speech…


Maybe at a later date I will add a video from the dance party…Thriller!

Welcome!
