What are they doing to us?

You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you CAN'T PICK YOUR FRIENDS' NOSE!

Hi guys-

This picture formatting thing is tricky! Sorry if I took up a huge amount of space or the captions don't match up. It never looks the same after its posted! :) I thought I'd add a few more pictures from our weekend. It was soooo great to see you guys. I think I went through withdrawl this week.

It was nice to have a few days off of school this week for MEA, but I feel like all I did was work! I need to go somewhere just me with no cleaning up after babies and husbands. :) Any ideas? Let's all go to Hawaii! Or lets go on a cruise! As soon as I win the lottery, I'm there. I gues I should start buying lottery tickets then...

Have a great week everyone. I love you so much!

Mandy

WOO HOO

Here we have it! Soooooooo fun to see all of you!
Love,
Breanna

Success!

I would just like to say JOB WELL DONE to all the ladies! This weekend was wonderful, and everyone is so flexible and accomadating its just easy to get together.

I was talking with a UND student last night as we prepared for worship and she was telling me about her weekend-her roommate came home with her for the first time and then she raved about how amazing her floor is as well. I could help but share with her this group of friends that is rooted in Hoyum 7...what an amazing thing...who would have know?

I don't have a camera and thus didn't get any pictures from this weekend. Could those get emailed around? Muchas gracias amigas!

Head Count

Yes, Becca, I think everyone you posted on your blog entry are the ones coming. I can't think of anyone else. See you tomorrow!

Okay, I'm bordering on obnoxiousness (is that how you spell that?) but I couldn't resist posting these cute pictures. :)

We can't wait to see you guys! We'll meet you at Becca's when we get there. I can't guarantee staying the whole football game because Julia will want a nap and its going to be pretty chilly for her, but we'll try! My brother will be there and he can't pass up a chance to hold Julia. :) We'll for sure join you for the rest of the festivities, though.

Lindsey, sorry to hear you won't be there! Bummer! We'll have to catch you in the Cities soon.

Well, we'll see you on Saturday!

p.s. Got an e-mail with request to pass on the info. from a certain friend named Elizabeth Lerohl about a proposal and a "Yes!" answer...more wedding bells are in the air!! :)

Love,
Mandy

So sad!

Hi, everyone! Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to participate in the Homecoming festivities. I've had some things come up, and I have to be back to St. Paul by Saturday morning. I hope you all have a wonderful time, though, and I'll be sending happy thoughts your way!

I'm all done here in Detroit Lakes on Friday, then back to the cities for my next affiliation. To those of you in the metro area, I'd love to get together with you sometime soon! To any of you who may be planning a visit to the metro area, I always have an open bedroom waiting for friends!

Take care, everyone!
Lindsey

Saturday

I've contacted Becca and she is open to most anytime on Saturday. I asked her if 10ish would work at her place. I told her I could bring coffee cake/muffins. You know, a little coffee hour. Then we could progress to the football game, followed by a delicious meal, and finally a concert. It will be wonderful. Key word for the weekend: flexibility, since we don't have specific times. I think we can all handle it. :) See you all soon.

Topic change: Hey friends that haven't written on the blog yet, want to tell us how you're doing?

Go Cobbers

Hello ladies...
I am 99.9% sure I am going to be coming to Concordia this weekend as well. How exciting!
Sarah...can I still ride part-way up with you gals? Also, where are people staying? Sarah, I may camp out with you and your mom if that is ok on Friday. Also, Sat. after the concert are you going to head to Ryan and Leah's?
I am pumped to see all of you. I will have to do laundry so that my Cobber sweatshirt is available...who is up for a Cobber sweatshirt picture?
OK....I should teach or something. Thank God for teaching novels.
Love ya

Homecoming plans!

Yay another family to join us...here is what we know thus far, let's all stay in touch this week to make sure everyone knows where to be!

Friday: Sarah, Elizabeth, Breanna?, Lindsey? will be at the Storyhill concert

Saturday:
Sarah is trying to get in touch w/ Becca about a mid-morning visit to the Miedinger house
Football @ 1pm for those interested, if its not too cold
Elizabeth is providing a hearty, warm your britches dinner...probably at Peace Luth.
Concert @ 6:30pm...I'm going to brave this w/ Micaela...so that means Julia has to be there too! :)

Yay!

What is this on my head?

Hi everyone!

Sorry its been awhile since I've been on here. Looks like a lot of us have been busy lately! :)
First thing I want to say is that David, Julia, and I have decided to join the rest of you in Moorhead for the Homecoming shindig!! We won't be there until Saturday around noon, but we hope that we can catch all of you and have a great time!! Would anyone be willing to update me on what the plans are? Thanks!!
Things here have been going well I guess. I have a cold, Julia barfed all over the car this weekend, and David is constantly working on his letters of application to various places around this country, but all in all we are happy, so I guess that's good.
This pictuere is from Juila's birthday party. She doesn't look the happiest, but she is trying to figure out what that is on her head! Kind of a funny girl, she is. We had her picture taken at a Sears portrait studio two weeks ago, and the pictures are just priceless. I will bring them with this weekend for those of you who will be there!
Not much else is new. I can't wait to see you, and for those of you who won't be there, I wish I could see you soon, too!! Have a great week, stay warm, and here's a BIG HUG from me! :)

Love,
Mandy

Maple trees

If I were technologically advanced, I would have a camera phone. Then I would be able to download my pictures on the internet and upload the beautiful maple trees I saw on my way to school today. The scene was like something out of an ABC afterschool movie. Beautiful colors of red, yellow, orange, brown, and even dark green lining the boulevard of a street, with just the right amount of leaves fallen down below. The only thing that would have made it better was seeing a small child walking their golden retriever, then it really would be like an afterschool movie. But, you will have to use your imagination since I do not have a camera phone. Luscious colors call for posts on the blog. What wondrous sight have you seen lately?

We've moved!

Well Micaela and I spent our first night in our new place...the poor girl had a rough day getting passed around at church, having a different evening babysitter, teething and then spending the night in a wierd place! But, we survived and I am so excited to be in this place where Micaela has her own room and I have a walk in closet! Whoa! Its a townhouse style apartment so there is a large living area and kitchen downstairs and two 1/2 wonderful rooms upstairs! We have room for guests so book your stay now. Otherwise life is pretty much filled with work and being a mom, so I'm looking forward to the exciting Homecoming weekend at Concordia...so far I know Scanders, Lindsey and I will all be there...hope the rest of you can make it!

We got to see Lindsey and Shripes recently...very fun! Love to you all!

Elizabeth and Micaela
