Current Status:
Recently married on the wonderful island of St. Lucia. We are thinking about joining PC there. Advice: eloping is great. We still had two crazy fun receptions later in our hometowns, one at the Toledo zoo in the African overlook and one hippie one at a camp in MA. The Decker wedding tour is now finally over.
Hobbies:
Chris makes friends with every taxi driver in this city and I can't complain. We got to sit with the Ashantihene at Ghanafest 2006 and we always have a ride to the airport.
