Roxanne & Bill: And the credit goes to......

So, Marsh and I FINALLY got together to have dinner with Roxanne and Bill in Denver last Thursday. Roxanne, you see, is the mother of our niece Caroline. Once upon a very, very long time ago, she was married to Marsh's brother, Lashar, and this is where Caroline came into the picture ......to make a long story short, Roxanne moved to Denver last year for a change and to be closer to Caroline (she goes to school in Denver now). As a single woman, she was looking to meet new people .....I knew this wouldn't be a problem for long (I mean, hello, she's gorgeous, intelligent, fun, and the list goes on and on!) ....BUT, just who should we introduce her to?? All I can say is that Marsh had someone in mind and I vetoed this as I just did not think it would be a good fit whatsoever. Immediately, our friend Bill came to MY mind as the PERFECT person to introduce Roxanne to ......I will say after the fact, Marsh did step in to help start the communication and exchange contact info., etc. .....HOWEVER, it was my idea in the first place to set these two amazing individuals up AND I'm happy to report they have made their union official ......and yes, I'm taking most of the credit, honey!! Anyway, we had a wonderful dinner together and we are very happy we were able to fit it in before our upcoming Austin move .....Bill and Roxanne took us to dinner (thanks again, you guys .....you weren't supposed to do that!) to a place called Chinook Tavern in Cherry Creek. It was fabulous!! They serve a European inspired menu with a contemporary American twist (at least that's how I would describe it) AND they have a fantastic wine list. Roxanne and I had the Wasabi-seared halibut ....unbelievable! You'll just have to experience it for yourselves by making reservations here: http://www.chinooktavern.com/ ....We took a few more pictures (one that is a little questionable) ....take a look:
Marsh, me, Roxanne & Bill

...there's just something not right about this....
We had a lot of fun and can't wait to have Roxanne and Bill come visit us in Austin!! Next one is on us, guys, and again, CONGRATULATIONS ....and you're welcome ;)
