"you clean up real nice!"

here is a pic of jeff and i dressed up for our annual neighborhood (grown-ups only) holiday party at the aneser's on 12/20/08. typically i am makeup-less in jeans and a sweater, so it's nice to dress up once in awhile. the quote in the title is attributed to an older fellow on our tour of italy in 1998..... when we joined the tour, i was grungy and pale with my hair in a pony tail, basically looking about 16 when i was actually 28. later that night, i was dressed up with hair and makeup done and he looked over at me and said "well, you clean up real nice"! 8-)
