HI everybody!
Well, as I said in my title--hi!
John--thanks so much for setting this up for us!
Since I last saw all of you at the reunion, some things are the same, and some have changed pretty dramatically. I am still an assistant prof at Wingate University, and like my job very much. But, I have moved down the street from my previous address to the house I bought in July of 2003. It's in the old downtown of Monroe, and I have learned all the joys and frustrations of having a 100 yr old house! (The frustrations mostly come from ancient heating units). But, I love it! I also have added a dog to my life. She's great--and now I can't imagine life without her. She's a lab/golden cross, and seems to have all of the best traits of each. And yet another big change--I have been dating someone seriously for about eight months now. He's a grad student in history at Auburn, so between the two of us we spend a lot of time on the road. But, the distance issues are short term, and you can deal with almost anything for a specified time!
I am so excited about the opportunity for all of us to connect more frequently. It's hard to be an adult and move away from all your roots! It's nice to have a way to connect with them again.
I'll fill you in on Kacey Combs White, too (she doesn't have her email up and going yet, but she should soon). She and Andy have a 15 month old daughter, Canna Abigail White (she's called Abbie), and she's a beautiful child. Kacey still works at urgent care one long shift a week, so she is getting to stay home with her most of the time and really enjoying it.
I guess I should go now--I'm supposed to be grading papers, but of course I'm doing something else (yes, I am as bad as my students!). Spring break is next week and I have much to do before I can play!
Take care, everyone. I look forward to hearing more about what is going on in your lives.
