Nick does his best magic trick of his life time!

Good job on the beautiful ring....diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Nick putting the ring on Florence.

Nick surprised Florence with an
engagement ring, during her
black belt test and she said "yes"!
What a cute couple.
Thanks Nick for all the fun magic you
performed at the resort this last summer.
The guest really enjoyed your show so much.
Congrats. on your engagement!

Natalie & Jeff Update


Well, we are still in the process of getting things closed down, and working our buns off!! We are enjoying the fall season and looking forward to seeing a few more guests as our season comes to an end. Married life is going wonderful, with Natalie practicing her cooking skills and Jeff eating way too much of it, all the good and bad!
Also, for any of you wondering about more wedding pictures, feel free to check out natehoward.com under the wedding tab, and northwoods wedding to see some professional photojournalistic pics that our phototgrapher picked to post on his website!! Enjoy~


P.S. (We had to use a picture of us from last summer---Ha, Ha, we are looking very scuzzy with all the hard work that has been going on lately. We promise some more recent pictures soon!)

"Shake It" by Metro Station


Nolan Roth, one of our most favorite guests introduced Jeff & I to the song "Shake It" by Metro Station, which was even played at our wedding!! As we were watching Dancing with the Stars tonight, the dancers danced to it. Jeff & were dancing around and turned the t.v. way up! All we kept saying was how we wished Nolan & the Roth's were here to dance with us!!!! Darn, Darn~ We love you guys and miss you all so much.
