Introductions are in order.

Putting together a team can always be a challenge. These are some of the finest men I know. Some of the best teams in history were ones of seven, from the magnificent to the samurai. All know the importance of the their role.

Joe Puchalik. I met Joe in on the road to Clermont, which at the time was 30 plus miles behind enemy lines. Hitler’s war was raging through Europe. A fan of drinking wine, eating cheese, bridge building and large loud machinery. Truly the war horse of the group.

Shawn Dillon, a truck driver with a heart of gold. Always ready for an adventure no matter how little the appreciation you get for it. People can be heard saying, "You know what ol' Shawn Dillon would say at a time like this?" Do those people even know how great that man can be?

Dan Noriega. I hired Dan as a bouncer for me in 1976. His business card read, "Next to God there is no greater protector than I." Since those days we have been on many adventures and remained lifelong friends.

George Collazo, came into the offices and asked me for a job. His credentials are extraordinary holding multiple degrees in human psychology and musical therapy and a Ph. D. I told him there was a steady paycheck and I would teach him everything that I know. Today, 17 years later he has the tools and the talent, and has taught me more than I could imagine. Never to be under estimated.

Matt Roman, businessman, metal head, and family man. Matt Roman is the owner of the very successful King Kamehameha club is constantly surrounded by beautiful women and danger. Master of 7 different styles of self-defense Matt has made a life of keeping it cool in a tense situation. Have a drink on Matt, he owns the place.

Sean Fritsch. Little is known about the background of Sean. As a race car driver he spent most of his adult life as, the greatest race car driver in the world, and solider of fortune. He is thought to be lost older brother to Tara Fritsch, but this has yet to be confirmed. His presence gives the group the mystery that is needed in every team.

Andrew Lupien, a freelance agent for the division of the CIA known as the FIRM. Andrew has been a helicopter pilot for many years. Having first flown missions of valor in 1975 during the fall of Saigon where we first met. His steely gaze, and frank demeanor gives the group a well-rounded feel of order.

These are the men are truly some of the finest men I know, together we can do the impossible.

It's been a long road.....

Wow. Planning a wedding can SUCK. We're super excited about all of this, but the guest list is killing me!!! We've spent the last 2 months staring at the list, and trying to figure out who we have to (unfortunately) cut. We have too many friends and family, and we just can't afford to invite them all. My biggest mistake - getting way ahead of myself and asking people for their addresses on, oh, the day AFTER we got engaged! So many of those people have been taken off the list after we realized how big it was. My advice to anyone who is thinking about getting married (SEAN AND BETH, LISTEN UP!!!!) - before you get others' hopes up by asking them for their addresses and telling them it's for your wedding, is this - 1. write down everyone you would like to invite 2. figure out your budget 3. cut the list to where YOU need it to be to remain sane 4. THEN ask people for their addresses. This way there are no hard feelings. You won't have to apologize to people later, like I will surely be doing. :( We were able to cut the list a couple of ways.......we decided that unless someone is dating someone seriously, they are not invited with a plus one. Sorry guys - but I don 't want any strangers at my wedding. Then, and now this is the super sucky part - those friends/family who ARE dating someone, but we really don't know them.....they're also not invited with a plus one. Eeeeeeeeek!!!! I know that's probably awful wedding etiquette, but right now we have no other choice. We CANNOT invite 300 people to this wedding, we just can't, and that's where we would be if we didn't make these cuts. Yeah yeah, everyone says 20% of the people you invite don't come, but even so - that's still A LOT of people. So I am apologizing in advance to the ones I will offend because they won't get an invite, AND the significant others I will offend who are not invited. Unless we somehow win the lottery, this is how it has to be.
