Carolynne- Ahh Carolynne.. Its been a long time... since you were born i believe that i've known you.. do you remember the cupcake gang? oh my that was very.. interesting.. i was so mad because I wanted it to be named something else.. but it was fun doing stuff occasionally with a bunch of girls, though truth be told, i would have prefered football with the guys at that age.. funny thing, i still would! Well i wont ramble about my younger days..You are a sweet heart and funny (I think it must run in the family ;-)) Hope you enjoy our Sunday nights too!! Wait til you see the pictures hehe!

Angela-Do you have any tator tots? Well I hope you aren't eating all of them! Anywho..

And by the way.. you are welcome at my house too!

Melissa-Hello my knight in shining armor, I am so glad you and Erica were such willing souls to wait for my ahem, 45 minute delay on such a late night already!

Marisa- My dear couselor, how doth thee fair this wonderful winter season? Ok i don't know whats up with the old English, really, anywho..

HA thats what happens when there are several ANIMALS involved in the ingestion of the food...jk well see ya soon im sure!

James- James, your AMAZING! ahh thats so fun to say in a British accent, though I truely don't remember why I said it in the first place.

Joel- Its our resident compliment man! Thanks for the kind words here and there, I'm not sure how many people appreciate them, but you are a sweet guy :-). Just so long as you don't break anything pulling those crazy stunts of yours lol.

Hope to see ya soon!

Elizabeth- Congrats!! I had such a blast staying with you this summer, and you are truly a blessing to me! I wish you the best and happiest next couple months! Hope you are enjoying those math students.. and you never know who might follow in your footsteps.. if you'd have asked me 5 years ago if i thought I might be a math teacher.. I would have said no way! but somewhere along the line, the seed for the love of math grew and now I am me! haha Well I hope to see you very soon!!!

Bonnie- Who would have ever guessed our wild imaginations of jetskiing and boating would come true? I still remember the day we talked about that on the back of the ferry leaving Coronado Island.. Oh we have had such fun together! I can't wait to spend time with you again! I hope you are able to come visit us in Sacramento!! Well keep in touch!

Nathan O- Hmm I'm really craving a smoothie right now, think you could email me one? Sorry the job is so boring at time... but at least your making money! Well we never did get around to doing any more bible studies, but maybe someday... Hope you haven't made too many plans for this summer... maybe you can come to my graduation!! That would be awesome! Your a great guy and as much as it may be disputed by others, you are nice as well (I know i know, its the nice word, but i didn't say TOO nice.. just nice.)

Alicia- Hello dear, its been wonderful getting to know you better, from february of last year when we had our moments with our hand motions, to having devotions together. I've really enjoyed your good Godly attitude and you certainly have good questions! Well missy, I would love to see you again soon, I'm not sure how soon it will be, so keep iming me, and talking to me on Bro. Gary's phone hahah!

Amanda- Hey buddy, hows life going? Hope you are keeping your swimming pool clean for me! Just kidding. You are a sweet girl, and I really hope to see you again soon! I enjoyed the time we did get to spend together while I was in Phoenix shopping and whatnot! Well have a wonderful rest of the school year!!

Gary- Hey there.. its been good to hear from you recently! I trust everything is going as well as it possibly could! Hope your having better luck with work!

We might just have to start all over again :-( Well come visit me in Sactown if you can!!!

Nathan S- Nate the great... where do I start... I could just end, but that would be mean. Its been great getting to know you better (I think) Although sometimes I wonder... jk. I finally had biscuits and gravy, however, I want homemade ones now, because biscuits and gravy in a sacramento restaurant can never measure up to good old southern cookin! And you still owe me a steak... whether I go to Mississippi or you come here.. Anywho.. fellow graduate.. we are finally finishing High school.. now on to the next thing... College.

Drew- Flippy! How are the good old tree friends? Hope they aren't too red! Well I'm hoping to come out to Mississippi this summer, but you could always come visit Sacramento again! It was fun.. uh huddling around that fire when it was really cold.. lol well it was nice to fellowship anyways.. so long as no one burnt the whole neighborhood down! See ya soon!

Sylvia- Another fellow graduate! Oh its just so exciting isn't it? I'm so glad to finally be finishing up my last year of high school, and I'm sure you are too! Its been nice talking to you recently, keep in touch! And let me know when your graduation is!!

Hope to see you again soon at a meeting or otherwise! You and Sylvia are welcome to come visit me in Sacramento!

Joseph- Well hello there, although I have not had the pleasure to meet you in person, you are a very humorus young man... and well just be careful on the skateboard... no wearing skirts.. that will get you a broken leg. What am I saying? of course you won't wear a skirt.. whew.. glad I got my head screwed on right! Maybe I will get to meet you some time this year!

Jason- The resident bachelor I hear.. well it was fun surprising you in the airport in San Diego.. all the surrounding people thought you were some kind of celebrity.. some even started clapping too! well ok I don't know about that.. but it was pretty funny! Anywho.. don't play too many video games.. might rot your brain jk!

Carrie- Hey sweetie! It was encouraging to see you this year at camp meeting, leading the singing in young people's and stepping up to the plate when solos were needed! You have a lot of talent to use for God and a beautiful voice! Love ya, hope to see ya soon!

Lindy- Hey Hey hows life back in Tennessee? Hope ya'll are doing well!
