No Laura...this is the best blog post ever...

Happy anniversary Laura!
A year ago today Laura learned she had cancer. Since then, she has not only kicked that cancers ass, but she has shown us all how to tackle one of life's greatest challenges with grace, courage, humor and determination. This blog would not have been created had it not have been for Laura's blog. Think of all of the fun memories, funny pictures, reminiscing, reconnecting with old friends and laughter that would not have happened! Laura, thank you first and foremost for fighting. You are one strong sistah! Secondly, thanks for having a hand in bringing all these crazy people together in cyberspace. The memories and stories that continue to surface are sooo funny. It's awesome as we slide ever closer to that 20th that we have a place to dish out old memories from back in the day - what halarious times...even if we were idiots putting ourselves in really bad situations. Finally - Laura, thank you for being a part of our lives, from those crazy drunken highschool days to these days, it's great to have you around.

Since this blog is in Laura's honor, feel free to share any memories about her that you feel compelled to (smile). Think of it as her continued therapy as I'm certain many of us have Laura flashbacks that will make her smile - and smiling is good for your health.

Lastly - Laura, wtf is thumping in the hooptie or whatever (dare I ask)?!

Just back from Tahoe

So we just returned from the 4th annual Tahoe trip. We think we finally found "the" cabin - it's a keeper - thanks Becky for coordinating the trip and finding a rockin place to rent. This year Becky, Kelly, Tab, Ham, Amy & my family and our chilluns (I think there were 12 kids ages 0-9 if I counted correctly) made it up. Jeff & I had to cut out a day early since Wyatt came down with a nasty bug - but it was really fun while it lasted. A few of the ladies (I will not mention names) got their drink on Friday night and it was very entertaining to watch the effect of rum & coke or vodka & orange soda on people who haven't gotten schnockered in awhile. Good times! I heard something about sledding in bathing suits - what went down after we left you people?! It was dumping snow! Can't wait until next year to do it again. If Tab or Becky have video of the sledding shenanigans (in bathing suits or otherwise) I will add it here if they say it's ok.
