congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello All!
The congrats is obviously to Lex, but can also be for everyone in general as it sounds that most of you, at least those who post (not that I should talk) are doing very well.
I hope everyone had a good christmas and new years or kwanzaa if you want to get PC about it. :) I was here in Madison and then in the twin cities with Todd and his family. It is nice being on break, although I still do go to work occasionally. I have much less to update than most as I haven't really done anything super exciting or had any drastic changes in my life - but Todd did get me a pair of D&G sunglasses for christmas, to keep with Lex's bling theme (not quite measuring up to your bling though Lex :)) Anyhow, I am glad to hear that everyone is doing well and maybe we'll have another reunion sometime this year - Lex?
Love you all,
Erika.

bling blinggin'
Well, Brigetta and Ben aren't the only ones engaged as it seems. Mike finally popped the question and you were all right that I will be the next to wed!
He took me out to dinner after we had crappy days at work, to Il Bistro, a VERY romantic restraunt. It was a Tuesday night and there was literally no one else in the place, so it made the evening very intimate. We ordered a bottle of wine and I wanted to make a toast, but Mike said he wanted to give me a little present before we did, and he pulled out a little wrapped box, and I said, "it's a BIG little present?!" and got down on one knee (he was smashed in the corner between the table and the wall, it was so cute) and asked me. I was totally blown away because I never thought he would do it like this. I opened it and put it on and he's like, "so...is that a yes?" I guess I was distracted by the sparkly thing...of course I said yes, and we had a wonderful 2 hour dinner together.
I always thought I would cry, but I was so happy that I just couldn't stop smiling. I'm still smiling! The ring is so beautiful! It's the diamond from his mom's engagement ring (she broke her finger falling off a horse and they had to cut it off and basically destroy it, so it's just been in a safety deposit box) and Mike had the ring custom made with some new little diamonds too. The picture does not do it justice.
I would love a phone call from you all when you get a chance. I would love to share more with you.
Here's to another one biting the dust!
Love
Lex

little e updates
hello friends.
I miss you gise so very much, I miss us all together and I miss each of you separately.
So this is what I got to do for the holidays: Flew out with Phil to visit Leah and Michael (meeting of the boyfriends!) and I have to report that Michael is very nice and fun and generous and funny and I haven't ever seen Leah so happy and giggley with a boy. he gets full marks in my book. Phil said to Michael one night, "What do you think about how the last four letters of your name backwards spell..." (!) And they hadn't noticed that yet!~ that's fate for ya. We left Denver just in time to escape the blizzard, and went to Disneyland. great fun. and I got to talk to Noelle on the phone while I was standing amid crazy families frantically taking pictures of the most gigantic christmas tree. We need to talk more Noe, your last blog sounds really cool, I think that's so neat you are doing that, and I want to hear more about it.
Next we went to Disneyland for grownups: Venice Beach, and stayed with a friend from High school. We met up with Brigetta and Ben, just back from Hawaii, and JUST ENGAGED! that's right folks, weddin some time next summer. (she'll be making a formal announcement sometime soon). THey are very happy, and just the same. Nik was a no show, and Andrea too, (where are you Andi?? are you in Seattle yet? call me I want to see you) but Nik had an excuse of romancing the Sarah Jo who was up from AZ, so he's off the hook. I'm just a little gossip aren't I?
We then drove up to Selma, CA to meet all of Phil's hundreds of tall, very religious farmin relatives. Poor Phil had to defend his Parent's recent split over and over again ("they just need to find Jesus together") and fend off the marriage questions at us (we are living in sin.)THen we drove to Portland for Christmas, and back to Seattle.
I want to hear more gossip from all of you about your lives!!! I will be making calls New years eve, and I have a new number, so don't think its acrazy and don't answer (a crazy you know at least) 206-948-8198. There.
and subbing is going well, stressful and thankless, but I'm working. and those little snottys get me always sick sick sick! But they're so cute so I don't mind, most of the time.
love and good cheer to you all !!!!!

Lovely Ladies
Oh my women, I miss you. It has been almost 6 months since the wedding, and I haven't had nearly close to my fill of you all. I want to know what is going on in your lives. What is moving you, inspiring you?!
Me, I am getting more and more passionate about ecological and economical development. I am gearing up to figure out how to get a group of green developers and people with general knowledge about green techonology to speak to the residents of my neighborhood here on the river (Aaron and I sit on the board, I am treasurer!). I would love for people to see how easy and economical green alternatives are to implement into their home and daily lives. I am not quite sure what, if anything exists like that, and if nothing exists like that, I will have to invent it!
Also, I have a website www.raingift.com. Check it out. It is really important to me, and you can read the story on the site.
I am also in a training program to lead introductions to the Landmark Forum, which is the most rigorous and way cool experience I have encountered. It is a 6 month leadership training and development program that essentially chips away at who you are until all that is left is a lithe, muscled agile leader! What I mean by that is that throughout the program, all that stuff that prevents a person from being in action and from being fully self expressed...all that stuff gets cut away until what is reveled is just you. The Landmark Forum is pretty awesome in itself. It is 3 days and an evening, a forum for you to examine who we are as human beings, how you got to be the way you are, and what you want for your future. You get clarity around what it is that you most want out of life. Yeah, sounds pretty f*%#$ing awesome doesn't it?!
Anyway, I miss you all and think of you often and don't say so often enough.
Love Love Love and Happy Holidays.
Noelle
