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 !!!!!
