So, I've been meaning to write ever since Heidi sent her email about the blog. Heidi, I think that this is a great idea. And I really enjoyed seeing you all at Val and Dave's wedding - you two had a really nice wedding. Deepthi, I'm sorry to hear about the car. :-(

Not much is really new here in California. I've just been working and fixing up our yard. I spent last weekend moving dirt and filling in trenches. Ahh, the joys of home ownership...

I hope you all have good holiday weekends. I look forward to hearing about all your lives on our new blog.

Definately a great idea

It was so great to see you all on my wedding! I wish I could have spent more time with you all. Heidi your pictures are so good, I wish I was in them. The one my mom took of all of us has a big white spot on my forehead.

This blogging thing is all very new and confusing to me too. As Deepthi said, I hope this posts. Ironically though, I have just spent the last 2 days sitting through meetings about how teachers have to get better at adapting to technology or else we will become obsolete! Since I still don't know how to text message with my phone I guess this is blog is a good first step!

The kids start on Tuesday and my classroom is a disaster zone and I have no lesson plans. It should be an interesting next couple of days!

Brilliant! While I still don't know what exactly a blog is, I feel like I'm joining the 21st century. Thanks Heidi for coming up with this, and thanks Val for having a wonderful wedding for us to hang out at! As for exciting news...I killed the Hyundai Accent. Who knew that when the check engine light starts flickering, you should pull over, like, now. So, we're going to get a new car, and James is slowly inching us towards an almost SUV, boo. Well, I'm going to try to post this I guess, somehow. Take care all!

A New Idea

Hi my friends,
After a great time visiting together at Val and Dave's wedding this weekend, the realization that there are no more weddings to be had between us, and an astute observation by Jeff that we all like to plan, but given differences in time zone and crazy schedules, tend to have trouble calling. . . a fault of which I am quite guilty, I was left feeling a bit nostalgic and with a desire to find a way to "see" you all more often. So, here's an idea. We can see what happens. Post whatever you like, whenever you like, and it will go to the "Ms Madtown Musings" group of Val, Deepthi, Margot, Amy, and Heidi. If you have a brighter idea for a title let me know. I hope to see wedding pics, travel logs, pregnancy updates (AMY!), work woes and wonders, whatever. I miss you guys from way out here in CA. Maybe, just maybe this can help us create future "events" to help stay in touch. So, I'll start it off with a pic from Val's great wedding on Saturday. I especially enjoyed seeing Val and Dave so happy, the slide show, our own picture follies, and learning of Amy's fun news. And yes, my Locomotion injury is healing nicely. We'll always have Winneconne. :) I love that name.
