Steve Horvath Shelly y Stacey, taking a wild guess here, but we snorkeled with a Stacey and Shelly in Mexico, Dec, 2011. Could it be you? I have some great pics to send from the snorkel trip if you want to see them?

Amy Hola chicas! Que tal? What's next after a year like that?! I hope you arrive home safely. I enjoyed reading your most recent entry - a lot to process. I haven't always had time to read everything and look at all of the pictures, but I enjoy it when I do. I haven't written to you much, but I think of and pray for you often. Love, Amy (We're up north right now on the Gunflint Trail with my family.)

Hungee Girl! One Week before the movers arrive. I'm so happy that your adventure and spiritual journeys are winding down on positive notes. You both look "HOT", physically and temperature wise. I wish you both all the best in your travels home, and hopefully this experience will teach you both that the Norboms' can make it through anything. Biggest of Hugs. J&G

Jacqueline Chiasson Hello Again, I forgot to give you our new phone number. 902-406-0369. 10 Ashtree Crt., Dartmouth, NS, B2Z 1J2. The email I've used is Glorias' but I'll get a new one once we settle down in the new home.

Jacqueline Chiasson Hello my little girlies. It's done. The house is rented for up to three years and we're ready to hit the road in 3 1/2 weeks. The last week here I'm going to be getting ready for the movers. I can't believe that after all this time we're going to miss each other by one week. It brakes my friggin heart. Alas the adventure can't wait and we're on a schedule. Now that all is set in motion I'm relaxing and most the the negative stress is gone. We have an awesome family staying at the house for maybe up to three years. Tonight we're going out with Maria and Leann for Ethiopian cuisine. You two would make the perfect dinner companions for this soiree. Sorry for not sending more messages lately but the nerves were getting the better of me for a bit. Love to both of you.

Kate Wow! Looks like your blog and the email I sent must have passed each other in the virtual universe. Interesting how we're all dealing with 'situations'. Fabulous pictures! Wonderful blog, that really gives us a feeling for what you're doing and dealing with. Looking forward to having you back home soon.

Stephanie Hi! Glad to catch up on your lives, it's been a while. I felt really touched by Saint Teresa's Prayer, (I really admire her). The kids are growing. Jae talks a lot (like her mother). Beck's all smiles and WONDERFUL! Kyle's got a real job (yippee!) As for me, well I'm a crazy mom!! Saw K.D. Lang last week and spotted your friends Shawna and Vinnie. Great show. Take care, Steph

Janice Hey there you two. Great to get more updates and see all the fabulous pictures. You look so tanned and healthy. How envious I am of all you are doing and seeing. So great to have spring here but it is slow coming. School is going okay, busy of course. My family is great. Grandkids are growing like weeds. Bye for now. Lots of love, Janice

Jacqueline Helloooo, Well, it's still cold out and I'm getting antsie to do yard work. Nothing too exciting going on except that Gloria's on a new project out of Calgary for the next year(still IBM). We're not in any hurry to go now. We took a drive by your place and all seems quiet. No pink flamingoes on the lawn. I'm applying myself at being a great wife and I think I'm getting almost alll straight A's. I can't wait to hear from you and see how the visit went with the relatives. The sun is out a little longer here and there are no relatives in sight so we're at an all time low in stress levels. I miss hugging you both, so before I get too sentimental I better go because I feel tears coming. Ta Ta. Big Hugs, Love J & G

Lana Schmidt Hey girls, Sounds like you are in a warm and beautiful place. Your house looks very cute and I like the colors mixed in. Your pics are great and it is nice you have some great friends that are like family. Me miss not seeing and hearing your stories, but at least we get to see your pics and stories from your trip. A hug from you both would be nice. Hope you had a great Vallentine's day,i don't know if they celebrate that. Stacy HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We will have a cake for you when you get back. We have been very busy since we got back from Mexico with hockey. We are going to provincials in a couple of weeks. We have been downhill skiing once. We have not gone cross country skiing or outdoor skating,been too cold. We are training for a run in april so that has taken all our spare time. We also move into our condo in may. Miss you both and take care. Love Lana and Shelley

Tina Hola amigas! It was so great to hear from you & see your photos! Your new home looks lovely and your trip photos are beautiful. I definitely have South America on my list of places to visit. In fact, 2 of my new friends from the program are from there - one from Lima & the other is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'd like to say I'm practicing my Spanish but I'm actually trying to learn Chinese. Ha. I'm heading to Taiwan in 2 months to start the GMBA. I am so excited! After seeing your big smiles & reading your personal stories, I definitely miss you. Kindred spirits united across the world :-) Stay safe & enjoy every day... life is such a blessing! Ciao Ciao!

Shawna Hello my Lovley Ladies!! My goodness it's been way too long! You've been in my thoughts a lot and I miss you terribly! I'm so glad you have this website so I can see how you're doing and make sure you're still there. Life has been a little crazy; I thought that I'd have so much more time while I'm in school but it seems to be the opposite! School is going really well, I love the classes and material except for my old nemisis... math! Ahh well, if it was perfect it wouldn't be worth it right? Stacy I'm not sure if you heard but there have been a few changes at BART! Janice got a job at the gov't and Cait got a job at the UofA - the whole office has changed - crazy! See what happens when you leave the country? ;-) Can you please provide me with your mailing address ladies? There is something that I came across that almost brought tears to my eyes because it made me realize just how much I miss you and I'd love to share it with you! Love you very much,Shawna xoxoxoxo BIIIIG HUG!!! I miss your hugs....

Jacqueline Hello Daaaarrrrlings, It's Friday afternoon and I'm heading off for a massage before we go on a little Vancouver winter interlude. You remember winter, ice-snow- freezing rain- dirt, and lets not forget cold and wind. That's all in the past a balmy 6 to 9 is waiting for us. All is good and we'll be having a drink for the both of you while we're there. We plan on doing the aquarium and lots of walking and drinking of various beverages. We miss you and hope to talk soon. Give us a call if you get a chance. February 23 or 24 would be great. We finished a wall in the crawlspace with pine tongue and groove and I had to think about Shellys' last minute projects, it made me smile. How's the foot doing? From all the walking adventures it looks like it healed ok. Take good care. I'll update you on our adventure next week. BIG KISSES. Oh, I almost forgot, The L Word is quite good this year but I think Jenny needs some serious help and Shane needs to get a real L relationshipm, the quickies are getting way too old. Ta ta for now.

Jacqueline Hello Girls, You're missing out on one of those lovely cold weeks. It's -30 this morning -47 with the wind. It's expected to drop to -39 tonight and remain darn tootin' cold all week. I'm sure your renters are glad about that new furnace now. Life is just meandering along at a snails pace now that the holiday season has passed us. We 're spending most of our time cleaning and daydreaming. I have a crapload of work today so I'll say "toodle loo" for now. Hugs, love Jacky
