Redmond Hotties have survived!

Hello All and Merry Christmas!
I am going to attempt this blog posting for I seem to be retarded and have never been able to log on.
Well, the big news is that the hotties survived the storm and 7 days without power. Joy spent most of her time with Dennis who had power, Janett toughed it out in the house for most of the outage, and Shannon found refuge at new boyfriends condo and Crystal's apartment. It really wasn't too bad not having power for we have a gas insert and a wood stove but it was rather annoying being in the dark. But all is well for now, we am praying we don't get more winds for we have one tree "hugging" another tree and both are leaning towards that house. I will post the pictures when I learn how to do it or when Joy and Janett show me how.
Joy is spending Christmas and her birthday in New York City with The Dennis, Janett is going home and planning a snowboarding trip with her hot boy-toy, and Shannon is finally at home in Chelan enjoying the snow from inside the house. It doesn't compare to Megan and Matt's Colorado covering.
We are doing our best to keep the parties coming, the next big on will be St. Patrick's Day and I'm sure there will be a few little ones in between (like Joy and Crystal's birthdays).
Graduation was good, we all learned about the 4 million items that we now carry in our "PLU backpack." For those of you who didn't have to suffer through graduation you were lucky, all I can say is thanks to text messaging the ceremony went a little faster.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Let it snow.....

Hello All!
Just another update from the snowy Rockies! I thought I would let you all know about my first (and second) experience snowboarding as well as let you see the effects of the storm that you all just had up there. (Glad to hear that you are all safe and sound-looked awful in the news here!)
That storm hit us on Wednesday morning. I had just made it up to work (driving slow on my new tires) and the second I walked in the door, the snow really started falling. I was told that we would be able to leave by noon. Well my desk sits by two walls of windows and all I did was sit and stare at the snow that was quickly building up-not good. I actually started to make myself physically sick from stress and anxiety-I felt dizzy!! Anyway-I got in my car and made the looonnng drive home. It was like driving with a hangover in a completely white cloud-I couldn't see anything!!! When I finally made it home, I actually threw up-can you believe that?? I don't think I'm cut out for this yet. Matt made his way home from work and we just hibernated the rest of the night and all of today. (The picture is actually my car buried in the snow in front of a line of cars in our neighborhood.)

Larry loves the snow!



As for the snowboarding- Matt and I headed up to Brekenridge so that I could take my snowboarding lessons. Matt dropped me off at the lesson and went off to ski the backcountry. I must say-it went much better than I thought it would. It sounds stupid but it was a lot slicker than I thought it would be-very slippery! I fell a few times but overall did very well. I actually just went out tonight and bought the whole setup! (Nothing like diving right in) Just say a prayer for me that I make it through the season without killing myself or breaking any body parts.

Due to all the skiing/snowboarding-we are behind on the work on our house which is why I have not posted pictures of that yet-those will be coming soon! We did get our guestroom setup while we were snowed in here so we're officially ready for all of you to come visit! More updates will come soon! I miss you all and keep the updates coming from your end-I like to read what's new with all of you.

It's Finally Me!

Hello all you colleagues! After months and months of having joining this blog on my list of things to do, I have finally done it. Since read those four million journal articles, write that paper, think about what to do with that client, and study for that comprehensive final are off the list, I have time to get to the important things. Thanks again Susanne for creating this place for us all to stay connected. It is a fabulous idea.

I have just returned from a very relaxing and interesting week in Victoria, BC. Three of my friends came up for graduation, and then we went up to Canada and spent a week in a time-share condo overlooking a gaggle of sailboats. We had High Tea at the Empress, saw Butchart Gardens in the day and at night with all of the Christmas lights, and ate lunch at a quaint restaurant named McMorran's right on the water where we were entertained by the owner, an 85-year-old man named Eric whose father built the restaurant. Eric used to run the place, but now his son does that while Eric is the parking guy. If I had the pictures and knew how to post them I would. : ) We also shopped in the rain and listened to many foreign accents and played cards and missed the killer storm that raged around here and had an all-around splendid time.

I did come home to a lot of shingles and branches in my yard, but the power was back on and my pipes were unfrozen, so I was happy. Now my friends have gone home, and I do have a lot to do, but am just enjoying the day and not even thinking about looking for a job. The branches are even still on the lawn.

It's a wonderful day.

Still waiting......

If you've checked my blog recently, you'll know it's been taken over by Christopher. Actually, it's been taken over by Christopher's grandparents who demand hourly updates on him..... ;)

In OTHER news in my life:

We're still waiting to find out where we'll end up after here. We were supposed to have found out the week before Thanksgiving............................................ :|

I'm catching up on all of therapy journals I've been collecting. I'm in the middle of an article in the Therapy Networker about the neurology behind emotion contagion. Interesting.

Any interesting clients???

I've started creating problems and analyzing them on my own. For instance, this is what I learned on Sunday at church. The Caucasian couple sitting in front of us had 4 children. Irish twins, possibly 16 (male) and 17 (female), 12 year old and possibly 2 year old. The mother and daughter were enmeshed. The oldest son and was detached and suffering from depression. The youngest child, who I believe was adopted (he's African American), needs more structure....1,2,3 magic....Husband and wife need couples therapy, because they were sitting so far from each other and didn't look at each other or talk during the entire service and I need to not sin. Also, attending the Christmas Eve mass 'does not count as mass for the week', according the priest, so I'll have to go again on Sunday to fill my quota lol......

So, yeah............there really isn't too much going on in my life other than raising Christopher at this point :) So I guess I'm just stopping by to say hi!!! :)

I need a new car....

Hello all...
Well I'll break from my tradition of writing novels in my posts and give you a quick update of life in Denver. I ended up finding a temp job (not ideal....but I was about to go wait in line at the local soup kitchen so....) It has actually been a really nice experience...I'm an adminstrative assistant with a credit union and I'm only assigned to work there for about a month-my day consists of turning on the lights, signing for packages, and then sitting on my ass surfing the web for new jobs...sounds tough right. (It actually gets frustrating because I feel like my brain is melting away-but everyone has been really sweet so I can't complain.) It figures that as soon as I land a position where I'm no longer available to interview anytime I want I get phone calls for interviews. Don't get me wrong-I'm not complaining-It feels good to be getting some calls back for jobs in our field. I had one today for a Multi-Systemic Therapist position that I'm actually really excited about-so keep your fingers crossed for me and I'll let you all know how it goes.

Matt and I moved into our townhome last weekend and have spent a lot of time (including Thanksgiving) painting....it's coming along but of course we keep finding new things to add to the list of things we want to do to this place. (As if we didn't have enough fun with the Tacoma house!) I'll post some pictures when we get a little further along. We do have plenty of guest room now so pack your bags!!!

Other than that we are just hanging out looking at all the snow-we had a huge storm come in on Tues. (Same one you all got I'm sure) Matt has been telling me for months that I need to get new tires and of course did I listen??? I woke up on Wed. morning terrified to attempt to drive to work. Matt just kept giving me words of encouragement:"there's no way you'll make it to work....I don't think you should drive..etc" After talking to both of our bosses, we realized that we were the only two people in the state of Colorado that viewed the storm as "big" and the roads "bad"-so now we are both just late for work. I got in my car like a champ and started to drive at top speeds of 7 mph. My car was definitely swerving all over the place and then came the hill....my brakes decided they did not want to work and then the ass of my car began to spin around into oncoming traffic...mind you this is all about 30 seconds away from my house and I still have about 27 miles to go. This is about the point that I begin sobbing and praying out loud to please let me make it home in one piece...I can only imagine what my neighboring drivers though when they looked over at me....I don't know if I'm cut out for driving in the snow (especially with bald tires and two wheel drive...) I missed a day of work (and pay) and went and bought four new tires for a car I'm hoping to sell in the near future. I would like to get a SUV so I can throw Larry in back.

That's the update for now (I rambled on longer than I thought) I'll try to keep the news coming-miss you all so much!!!
Megan

PLU MFT 2006

Hello!!!

I have to say it's a hard act to follow Megan's entry! I wanted to say Hi and things are very busy around the Redmond house! Janett is working hard with her classroom kids, Shannon with her older adults and ending with other clients, and me with my foster families. Capone has been developing an attachment disorder since no one is ever home when before she had tons of attention.
It's snowing this evening and making me very homesick for Colorado and REAL snow! It was so nice to see everyone at Kellee's wedding and I am looking forward to the last of our class graduating in the next few weeks!! Congrats to us all for surviving graduate school. Happy Day!! Okay, I really don't have anything to say but Hi and yea for weddings and beautiful babies and good friends and snow and french fries. . .

Hawaii!!!

Well we got back into town on Monday morning (although I am so disoriented with my days-I'm fighting to give up "island time") What a wonderful trip!!! We got to Maui last Tuesday and had enough time to pick up some liquor and groceries before going to a "rehearsal dinner" Matt also had to find a couple of Hawaiian shirts! Anyway-we got to our hotel and just went "ahhhhhh" it was called the Napili Kai and we had a suite that overlooked the ocean. It was a really neat hotel-not a huge high rise or anything-looked more like an old hawaiian village that was more secluded-very romantic and peaceful. (This picture is of our hotel (with my brother in the foreground)-our room was way off the the left...very nice.)
These are views from our hotel room...it was nice to fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves, birds, and the breeze.

















Wednesday was the wedding-we started the day off snorkling in the cove near our hotel and catching up with a bunch of friends that I haven't seen in years-poor Matt tried to keep his energy (and patience) up while spending so much time with my family! The wedding was beautiful!!! They had it at a hotel in Kapalua and the ceremony lasted about 15 minutes-the minister was awesome he gave them a blessing in Hawaiian and was just really laid back-I loved everything he included in the ceremony-after the ceremony we had what felt like 3 hours of photos....most of which my mom took! After that we went on a sunset dinner cruise and then out to a bar to celebrate.


On the cruise-I'm wearing a bridesmaid dress-very comfy!!

My brother and his wife Ellie-she's the best!





Thursday we drove up to Haleaka Crater-quite a drive from sea level to over 10,000 feet -beautiful though to go though all the different terrains from sugar cane fields to forests to barren volcanic rock...it was a laid back day-everyone was tired from partying the night before and we rushed back to make it to a luau that night-it wasn't the traditional luau-more of a dinner show...called the Feast at LeLe it was a five course meal that sampled cuisine from multiple polynesian islands and then had dancing and music from the same regions-it was beautiful!!! The boys at the table (and the girls too) were all trying to pick their jaws up off the table because the dancers were so beautiful!! My grandmother actually said she was hoping for a strong breeze when the men were dancing in little more than a loin cloth. It was a very nice night and Matt and I made it back to the hotel exhausted!!










Friday and Saturday we relaxed on the beach and went shopping in Lahaina for some goodies...we were ready to slow down and spend a little time on our own-Matt found some hand carved tiki figurines...one is for family protection and one is for peace, love, and prosperity-we keep rubbing them everynight hoping I get a job and that the Tacoma house sells. (Matt said he got an offer yesterday and so he's working on the numbers to see if it will work out-fingers crossed!!!) We also drove up to "the blowhole" it was a really pretty drive up the coast and then you get to a point where there's an underwater cave that has a hole in the rock above-waves come in and are forced up-very cool to see...Matt's favorite of the trip. we were hoping to do the drive to Hana and just couldn't fit it that long of a drive-we were also told that a bridge was out and so we wouldn't have been able to make it to the seven sacred pools-bummer...Matt just keeps saying that that keeps things on the list for next time.

We both loved it so much-we felt ready to come home by Sunday but of course now that we are back we are a little bummed about not being on Maui still. I will have to bring more picture to Washington-I kept trying to put more on the post with little success.....I'm excited to see all of you! Talk to you soon...

P.S.Larry had his first birthday on Halloween-and yes it was my idea to put a big stupid hat on him-I promise I don't usually dress him up!! Isn't he cute though?

Austin Conference

So, I thought I'd get there in time for the opening plenary, but no, spent 3 hours in Chicago waiting for my plane (instead of 1). As I arrived home in Seattle Sunday night, I thought to myself 'what if we were making these trips by covered wagon? We wouldn't be worrying about a 3 hour delay!' Anyway, as you could tell by Shannon's emails, Austin was WILDLY entertaining!! We walked the hoppin' streets both Friday and Saturday nights, crowded with people, music blaring from every doorway. Jason and I found THE BEST restaurant-Brazilian and Tex-Mex, we opted for the Brazilian side of the menu, and raved over the food. Our waiter said he loved it so much, he had married the chef!! And gained 50 pounds since their wedding 14 months ago, although he'd lost a little. Fabulous food, the first meal in ages that I really wanted to savor every bite.

The conference was full of information, many, many workshops, some good, some not so good, but I went for the complete audio recordings of the workshops (not the plenaries) that come with handouts, so if people want copies of any (or all) that interest them, let me know. I went to a workshop on Alzheimer's and emotional consciousness , forgiveness, children in family therapy, genetics of alcoholism, and skipped the multigenerational substance abuse to go see a movie presented by the Austin Film Festival that my nephew was in. Shannon went with, and we both agreed that he was the best part of the movie, even though he had a small part, he was so cute (even though he was supposed to be a little creepy during the first part of the film). It will probably never make it out of the festival circuit, but good exposure for him. He's in another that will probably get wider release called "Choose Connor", which should be out later this year or next.

So, in conclusion, the conference was good. The final plenary was Dr. Spencer Wells talking about his genographic research that shows we're all pretty much descended from a few people in Africa. I loved the slides of faces, showing how much we all look alike, even though we're different. At one point, he was showing ancient skeletons we could be related to, then put a picture of George W, the pres, on the screen, and said we could be related to him, too. Collective laughter and groaning.

The conclusion of the presentation on genetics, (which was a little too much research for my poor brain to follow), was that MFTs have a chance to intervene at critical stages of development (9-18 months and early adolescence) when genetic predisposition triggers parental reactions that can lead to later aggressive or depressive behavior, and we should jump on the wagon within the next 4 years to position ourselves in a positive relationship to these findings. (I think that was the conclusion.)

Saw Megan at the airport in Denver on the way home, she was nice enough to come out during my layover. What a treat!! And the next day got a call asking for reference for her, so I painted a glowing picture of all her good qualities. Hope it gets her her dream job!! She and Matt had just purchased a condo and today are heading for Maui for her brother's wedding. Fun!!

We are staying home for a week or two--amazing, after more than two months on the go constantly. I might actually get my desk cleared off. Hope all is well in the PLU-MFT world.

PLU MFT 2006

Going to the conference in Austin tomorrow...plane leaves at 6:15am and gets to Austin at 3:30pm...after going through Chicago...looking forward to getting up at 4am, yeah. At least, after being on the EastCoast last weekend, it should feel like 7am, right? I'm glad to be going somewhere warmer, and glad to be getting an infusion of Marriage and Family Therapy discussion and networking possibilities. I can't believe it's been only about 10 weeks since our internship ended! It feels like so much has happened.

We went to Cape Cod Sunday after doing family stuff with Bob's sister and cousins near New Haven...beautiful day, my first time on the beach at the Atlantic Ocean!!! Monday we drove through NW Connecticut on the way to the airport and saw some beautiful country and colorful trees.

It's snowing in Denver....

Hello all...
It's been awhile since I've posted.....I miss you all so much!! (can't wait to see you in Nov. at Kellee's wedding) Let's see-I"ll try to do my best at an update....
Matt has now been working happily at his job for about a month (I can't believe we've been down here for almost 2 months!!!-crazy) He's working as a project engineer for a huge construction company here (he's building a lot of walgreens and Sam's Clubs..among other things and he loves it) he talks every day of his boss "bob" who he describes as an old man who talks like Michael Douglas and Jack Nicholsen..Matt always talks about how he loves "old" people and he has a new story daily which is nice since my days consist of watching Larry sleep and then moving outside to watch Larry play....exciting I know.
I have been applying for jobs like crazy and am starting to get somewhat depressed because of the lack of interest in return for my brillant mind. I have been applying for a ton of mental health jobs as well as temporary office jobs just to support myself while I look-we'll see.....I promise to keep you all posted and if you happen to get a call as one of my references just lie and exagerate about what a genius in the therapy room I am!!! (maybe not a lie) lol....
Larry is the same...just took him to the Vet today again...second time in a week-so you can feel my pain in needing a job.....apparently he has arthritis in one of his legs that he hurt when he jumped out of Matt's g-d truck....he's only a year old-arthritis!!! so he is now on a regiment of pills for the rest of his life and I have spent more on him in the past week than I have on myself for a month and a half-I'm goint crazy just wanting to but one shirt...or a pair of socks...anything new-I'm so sick of what I have!!!!! I keep joking that I won't have money to buy myself sweaters now that it's cold here....
Speaking of which...we had our first snow day....there's about 5 in. on the ground right now...it's beautiful-Larry is a basketcase in the snow...keeps faceplanting beacuse he gets tangled up in his leash so his snout gets covered in ice...I keep looking at SUV's online...I'm needing a new car instead of my Mazda(as much as I love it..) Shannon will appreciate this-I am actually LOVING the Nissan Xterra's....
Matt and I have bought season passes for skiing this winter -you all will love this-Matt got the Colorado pass which lets him ski at A-Basin, Breckenridge, and Keystone all season plus 10 days at Vail and Copper Mt. for $400....and then there's me.....I got the "learn to ski" pass .....but it's awesome-I get three half day lessons and then a season pass like Matt for $260 (can't beat that...plus I'd like to learn how to board and I know Matt is looking forward to the three 1/2 days that I'll be occupied with 5 year old while he's off in the backcountry showing off.....)
Other than that-not too much is new-we've been a little slow to meet a bunch of people here only because we're not wanting to spend a lot of money right now and this is the first time in my life moving and trying to meet people as a couple....different than when you're single for some reason....we have met a lot of nice people from the gator club-one couple fits exactly with us-the girl is a loud mouth who is funny and enjoys a drink or two (sound familiar) and her boyfriend is somewhat quiet and responsible but also has fun-it's like a mirror image....

I am hoping to get pictures up on my website soon....www.delicatefew.zoomshare.com we went up to rocky mountain national park recently and It was beautiful....check it out-I'll update it this week.... keep the updates coming here-I check back every now and then and I'm so happy to hear how wonderful you all are doing-Janett-you're amazing....I love to hear that you working (and saving lives) and of course Suse....Christopher is so HANDSOME,.....Matt was asking if you or Greg would call his Chris....I took a guess that you wouldn't for awhile but I don't know...and I am just so proud to be a part of all of your lives....I promise you I don't take it for granted after moving and losing friends through the years-I do not want that to happen with us!!!! I love you all....I'll see you soon and I wish nothing but wonderful things for you....

Love,
Megan, Matt & Larry Dog

We're Home!

I had my brother send out an e-mail (hopefully everyone got it). I've been stuck in the hospital until today.

Christopher Rios Jenemann was born on Friday morning at 3:30 AM!! You can check my blog for pictures:)!! www.theblogofloki.blogspot.com

Love,
Susanne

Ooops!

Sorry guys! (This is Janett posting under Joy's name) I was just testing to see if I remembered how to use this thing! I just read Susanne's blog, eek, her and Greg are so close to little Christopher making his first appearance!!

So I have a job now, working part time in the Issaquah School District (who contracts with Friends of Youth) as a classroom therapist. It is quite interesting as the classroom I am in is self contained and has 8 boys, all with behavioral/emotional disturbances...but the highlight of my time there has been me performing the Heimlich maneuver on a choking kid! Successfully, I might add. Can you believe it? Me, either!! : ) Janett to the rescue!

Other than that, I have not been on any amazing, relaxing trips like Katherine has. Im jealous!

One of my favorite things about living in Redmond, in addition to the available rich men I havent met yet, is the squirrels!! They are so adorable, I squeal each time I see them in the yard. Shannon doesnt like them and wont let me feed them. She agrees with Carrie on Sex and the City as them being "rats with cuter outfits." But I happen to think thier outfits are pretty darn cute!! : )

Janett

Testing...

PLU MFT 2006

So it's been awhile since I've visited, having lost the link to the blog. Now I think I've gotten to the posting area. And I can change the color of my typing....but how do I add pictures? We backpacked for 4 days in Indian Heaven Wilderness and were surrounded by MILLIONS of blueberries. The berries were a month late because of late spring snow, so the fact that we were a month late getting into the mountains was perfect timing. No bears, no cougars, just birds, sun, beautiful lakes. What a great trip. I finished my last weekend of IFS (Internal Family Systems) training and said good-bye to the group...it was a great year, a great program, although I don't feel quite adept with practicing it as yet. We are off to Oregon this weekend for yet another birthday gathering, next weekend to Connecticut for Bob's dad's memorial gathering, then off to Austin for AAMFT conference. I have to find new renters for my house in Oregon by November 1st. Perhaps we will be spending some time down there to do some overdue house repairs, like a new rug and cutting and clearing trees and brush for fire safety.

I hope people are applying for those jobs at Greater Lakes. It makes me feel guilty and sad that I'm not ready to apply for the Child & Family position, but I hope someone from PLU gets it. Hope all goes well with the new jobs and new digs.

Moving North

Hi Everyone! I thought it was about time that I contribute to the blog too... I still consider myself somewhat blogged challenged though, it took me awhile to remember how to even log in!
I hope to finally be moved up north (Mountlake Terrace-just north of Edmonds) this weekend so I can stop commuting. I will admit that I will miss some aspects of hotel living: my room being cleaned everyday, my bed fixed for me, a nice breakfast bar... hmmm, mabye I should just keep commuting! I am actuallly really excited to have my own place again, I have been visiting IKEA and stocking up on some stuff that I need. I am also beginning to enjoy living north of seattle instead of south of seattle, I'm ready for some exploring and some fun new adventures.
I hope everyone is doing great! I think I am better with the phone though, so call me soon! I will be sending an e-mail out in the next few weeks, once I am settle with new contact info.

Redmond Hotties!

So the girls and I are working on settling in to the house these days. Shannon has been working her butt off to get things cleared out and cleaned up. For Janett and I we have been in interview hell since the interview process just keeps dragging on and on with second and third interviews. I mean really, they should know from the first interview how fabulous we are! How is everyone else doing out there in the real world again? Let's keep this blog alive!!!

Kentucky!

Greg and I have made it to Kentucky, YEAY!!!! I'm SO glad to be out of the car!!!!!!!! You have NO clue!

Made it to Denver!

Hello All....
I'm exhausted! We made it into Denver yesterday after two loonnng days of driving. We are mostly unpacked and settling in-already joined a gym! Now just need to find a job to pay for it.....I'll send some pictures of the new place through e-mail once I take some. It hasn't quite hit me yet that this isn't a vacation and I'm not coming right back to Tacoma....it is really beautiful here-everything is so new and there's a super Target two blocks away so I'm all set. I'll be keeping my cell phone for awhile and here's the new address....
2801 E. 120th Ave
#K102
Thornton, CO 80233


I miss you all....keep the posts going for updates-I"ll check back often and add my two cents....

Looking for a picture

Hi Everyone....

Does anyone have that picture that we took as a class in front of the building??? I'd like a copy of it if anyone has it!

1st blog entry ever!!

Thanks Susanne for helping me become blog ready!!! Now I can add pictures from the picnic!! Which I will do with all the handy upload tools available here once I'm home where the pictures are. YEAH!!! Katherine

test

Just testing to see if I can actually sign in under my name.....

Helloooooo!

Yea! This is such a great idea! Thanks a ton Susanne for putting this together!

Yeah!
I think it might have worked. I might finally be an offical member of the blog-yeah! It has been quite the process, so I am very thankful you did this, our class would have been having to communicate via snail mail (I'm a technical retard). Hope the 2006 class has a great week.
Shannon

new invite

Thanks Susanne! Sending me the new invite worked and I was able to create my own account for this blog. Thanks for working out all of the kinks!

Maybe a fix???

If you have a "Hotmail" or "Yahoo" account, instead of clicking the link, try copy and pasting the link. For some reason these two sites modify the way things are linked....

If it doesn't work that way send me another note....I'll keep searching for an answer:)

Susanne

Great Idea!

Thanks for creating this blog Susanne, I think it is a great idea! I am new to the blogging world and like Shannon am having some problems trying to create an account though. I think I am blog challenged! :o)
It was great seeing everyone this weekend and I am looking forward to the last couple of get togethers before everyone begins to go their seperate ways. It has been a great two years in our MFT program and thank you to all of you for making it such a wonderful experience!
Crystal

The kinks

Sorry if there are some random "test" posts....I'm trying to get kinks out:)

If for some reason it won't let you become a member let me know.....

Susanne

Hey All you wonderful graduates (and soon to be's)! This blog thing seems to be a little too advanced for me, I needed Janett help after being kicked off twice, she was my good luck charm.
So, I to am planning a par-ty, but it is not until September. But I'll tell you the date now so you can all write it on your calendars....it is Sept. 16th. Actually, I am not throwing the party alone, Joy and Janett (currently the Puyallup Hooties, soon to be the Redmond Hotties!) will also be involved. I will keep you all posted on the details as the date approaches.
Thanks to Susanne for setting the blog up, now it is up to us to keep it going. And keep it going we will.....
By the way, Susanne's baby shower was fun, so thanks for being pregnant too!
Have a great weekend. Can't wait for all the fun parties and social events of the month!

Thanks Suse!

Thanks Suse for setting this up-great idea! It will come in handy to keep in touch once I move (sniff sniff)I'm so sorry I missed the shower-I'm sure it was wonderful.

I want copies of pictures from the BBQ-maybe not all 62 Shannon-but a couple would be nice. I had a lot of fun seeing everyone all at one place outside of the classroom and I apologize to anyone who got slobbered on by Larry! I'll definitely keep checking back and giving/reading updates about everyone!
Megan

New blog

We'll see if this works......

Hopefully it's a simple and we can all stay in touch!!!
