Meet Barrett and Gary

These are pictures of Barrett and Gary. Barrett is my first cousin on my mom's side. She is originally from Atlanta, GA and attended school at UGA where she received her bachelor's in Special Education. After college, she moved to Reno, NV on a mission trip and decided to stay. She has been working on her Master's in Counseling from the University of Nevada at Reno. She has since decided that counseling is too depressing for her and will start nursing school in the Fall. Yes, Gary has tattoos all over his arms. He led a wild and exotic life before becoming a Christian and the tattoos are just a remnant of the life he once lived. They ARE pretty interesting, though! Gary is currently working on finishing up his degree in child/family services-- I think... I'm not sure. However, I do think Sam wants to be just like Gary when he grows up.... we'll see...
Barrett and Gary met at church a couple of years ago. They were engaged last Christmas and here we all are in Reno for their wedding. They will be married at Lake Tahoe on Saturday, I'm a bridesmaid and Sam is going to try to be the Ring Bearer.... yeah, right....He does have an awesome suit to wear so it's not all bad.
Barrett and Gary both enjoy the outdoors and "going green". They are vegetarians, have no TV and listen to music like Jack Johnson, Ben Folds, Iron and Wine, etc. They also have a chicken coop in their backyard but no chickens in it yet because the chickens are living in a cage in their house! The chicks are only a few weeks old. They wanted fresh eggs to eat so they bought 8 chicks. Classic hippies.
