What the?

Ang_

I am flipping out, i didn't know Jenny Lewis, the girl from Rilo Kiley and the Postal Service was the actress in The Wiz (80s nintendo movie with Fred Savage), and Troop Beverly Hills! It is a weird day.

I'd call you and let you freak out with me on the phone personally but Justin had the phone.

Peace love you

'Tis the season of Birthdays





YYYYYY Happy Birthday John !!! bbbbbvJ


I am so eager to see you and everyone else when i go up north. John i was in GR just before Halloween and we got lost and then all of a sudden we were by the bus station and Justin and I were like "Let's GO See John's Bus!" we were so excited. And when we finally did we just stared at it up there so high, and imagined how many bus driver's have to see it on a regular basis, and isn't it so cool that my brother's name is right next to it. And i loved the title, "2-d or not 2-d, that is the _____ " i forgot the rest. But it was clever. And i am so impressed that my brother quoted Shakespeare in his artwork.

purrrrrr





hello Family

WELL, i thought it time i knew what everyone was up to. I figured since i am on the computer for school so much, i could use this medium for good, not evil. The web address should be easy to remember since it stands for Angie, Charlie, Kevin, John, me and Eric. So i invite all family members, and their partners/spouses to blog away so that all can be updated on the current events, thoughts, prayers, ramblings, get-togethers going on in the family. And boy (or girl) is there a lot going on! This will be particularly useful for me and John as we're so far away and miss y'all so very much.

Update from East Lansing~
Well, big game tomorrow. One of Justin's buddies who graduated from U of M is coming down with his wife tomorrow and they're going to the game. Halloween was good, sort of. I was disappointed to learn that our Montessori school does not celebrate Halloween at school. No dress up, no party, no parade around the school. It's a politically correct, let's not offend anyone sort of policy. Don't like it. And despite the many candles and 3 last minute carved jack 'o lanterns, not a single trick or treater. Bummer. We live on a pretty busy road I guess. But i threw a small party and invited some neighbors last friday, and that went pretty well, got to know them better as we all played apples to apples (thanks dad!) while wearing masks and roasting smores and hot dogs.

For those of you who don't know Justin and I have two new additions to the family -Kittens! Well, they're getting pretty big now actually. Sebastian and Viola (from Twelfth Night) are a brother and sister pair that continue to make our house a greater joy to come home to. They make me wonder why people go out and buy cat toys, because everything they find can easily be turned into a cat toy. Any inanimate object quickly comes alive and worth chasing with a few bats of the paw, and we've taken up birdwatching outside. They hog the bed, and are curious about everything. Tonight they just sat on both side of the sink and watched me do dishes, sometimes batting at the foam.

Work is good, school is -you know, school like, and i am trying to get out and go for more walks in this beautiful autumn weather.

Okay b-e-d-t-i-m-e-f-o-r-b-o-n-z-o. Would someone send/call/ post me Kevin's email, i do not have it.

thanks, love you all so so much
