Which Braves are building in that area? I might have to stalk some of them since you know how to get there 
UP Disney said:OMG!! You are not going to believe this! Here's a story of how small our world is!!!!
After TeresaJoy posted about seeing Kate, I sent her a pm when I saw that she was from Michigan. I told her I was from the U.P. and asked where she was from. She sent a nice note back saying where she lived, that her husband had attended Michigan Tech in the UP and where did I live in the UP. I sent another one saying that Chuck & I had met at Michigan Tech and the years that we were there. She sent another note saying that her husband was there at the same time. What a small world, she says! She went on to say that he used to hang out with Bob & Liz x, Dave y, Chuck & Vicki z. Imagine my surprise when I opened the pm and saw my name in the middle of her post. I couldn't read it fast enough.
This is our long lost buddy & his wife. We attended their wedding. I just asked Bob a couple of months ago if he had their address because I wanted to start sending Christmas cards again and their last one came back. He didn't have it. I just got off the phone with him and he is excited that I've found them too.
Bob & Liz were our neighbors in married student housing when we first got married. Dave, Bob & her DH were best buddies. Chuck was a grad student and worked a lot of evenings & Liz was a nurse that worked nights. I can't tell you how much time we all spent together over those first two years of my marriage. We hung out all the time. After we moved to Holland MI, they all met there to hang out one year. We got together for their wedding and Dave's wedding. These were very close friends. I'm so excited to have made contact with them again. I can't believe I did it through the DDA.
Can you tell I'm like this right now????!!!!!!
I have a ton of errands to run tomorrow, and might try and squeeze in a massage or something and then I'll be in bed for my test. After Friday morning, I have to pack for the cruise, and pack up a lot around the house because we're going to be really busy the day we come back, too, and then Kyle starts work the following week.

I've always been too intimidated by this monster thread to post anything!
I'm just kicking myself now though for not going up to Kate and the gang!
This is what we looked like: (I should thank the photographer for having Arminda stand in front of me, and putting me at an angle. I think it took off about 20 pounds!)
Oh wow it is such a small world. I am so happy for you that you and chuck found your long lost friends.UP Disney said:OMG!! You are not going to believe this! Here's a story of how small our world is!!!!

Jennifer When do you start your Job.tink2020 said:I hope everyone has had a good day so far! I did a few tests this morning, then went to a friends house to go through one with her. She is taking her exam next Monday, and is really nervous about it. I'm getting pretty burned out though, so I'm glad I'm pretty much done reviewing except for maybe a test or two today. Tomorrow, studying is off-limits!
After I got home, I got something to eat finally and took care of some mortgage documents. I have a terrible headache that I thought was from not eating, but it has yet to go away.... so I think I'm going to lay down a bit.
The next few days are going to start getting REALLY busy, so keep on keeping it down around here. I really appreciate only having a handful of pages to catch up on at a time
I'll definitely be around, but won't have tons of time -- so know that I'm reading along, and I'll reply as much as possible. Have a good evening!
. I feel like I should answer him as honestly as I can but without giving it all away. He's only 5. I've seen a few "scripts" for this, but they are a little more graphic than I'd like to be. Anyone had to answer this question at such a young age? It's not that I don't want him to have the information, I just see this being an exciting new topic for him on the playground and I'm sure other parents wouldn't appreciate the free education, KWIM?
My not so fun filled wacky weekend. 
Fast forward.. P)(*^L T%$#(^:&&^$%@ WOW was that fast or what.
(STOP LAUGHING) Bad idea? Yes, bad idea. 
We found someone to manage the place, well after 1 yr she gave up. I have come to find that this area is full of lazy people. We call to have something fixed and it takes forever and they dont fix it correctly. We try to get good tenants and they have all turned into nonpaying slugs.
Fast forward again.. (&^$&%$@@^%@L T%$#(^:&&^$%@ 
ski resort or not
.. this place is WAY to painful to keep. So off we went to fix the fixable, paint the paintable and trim the trimable.
(teen boy help), then its up I-5 to Chico. Long ride, but the girls do well. Come to find out I could have gone a faster way, but not the best roads, oh well, things are going fine so far.
her cookies 
from what must have been the last full week of food. Note to self
DD gets car sick on winding mountain roads, give DD drugs before EVER going on a road like that again. Just over an hour after we left Chico we pull into the driveway of the house we are staying at (not the house we are working on).

bengalbelle said:Hi everyone. I hope you all had a relaxing holiday.
I've been reading along but haven't felt like posting. I don't feel well, but I can't really pinpoint what is wrong. Probably a combination of the heat and fatigue. I also have a headache that won't go away.
Lots of exciting things have been happening to DDA's the past few days. My thoughts are with all of you and the DDA kiddos.
We spent the holiday cleaning and organizing. We mananged to get a lot done but unfortunately there's still more. I'm just so slow these days.
How is your Blood pressure. That can cause Headache's that wont go away. also allergies can do this as well.
Get well soon
