Mel Just look at the at you recent pics and journal.  Great pics.... Good hearing from you as well on your bday.... 

meghan s hey! so do we get a new year's update????

Goody Kathy, thanks for the message. You keep an eye on Johnny and let me know what happens with the old ball and chain. I hear bells, but I don't know if they are Christmas bells or the other kind jingling.

Kathy Coulter Goody, John was just here and showed me your travel journal. Thanks for calling us on Thanksgiving. WE hope all is going well and you are having fun. Your cat is getting white hair all over everything in this house! What am I to do? I bet John gives Kelsy a ring at Christmas. I'll keep you posted. I hope I can figure out how to read your information if you write me back. Miss you and wish you were here for our "WHS party!" love Kathy

Morgs I was playing with the gecko and i forgot to shut the cage top all the way......and he got out. I didn't even know until Mom said something to me. She found the gecko on a black jacket but it was really hard to see since the gecko's skin color had turned black. And for the next two days his skin color remained the same. But hes back to normal and safe. I thought i would let you know whats going on. And CJ loves playing with the gecko and freaks out when he sees the gecko's tongue. Plus CJ always gives him kisses...its too funny/cute. Take care, Morgs

Morgs Sorry that i missed your call on thanksgiving. I hope you are taking care of yourself in the foreign land and all is swell. Keep up on the journal entries and i love the pictures. It looks like your having a blast and learning alot. I love you, Morgs

Rudy Hey, you think now you understand 30-50%, wait til you actually do :) I thought that at first, but when I started actually understanding, I realized how little I actually understood! Have a great time! Do you have a phone? Just email? Keep up on the Spanish! I'm sure you're learning fast! I couldn't believe how much I had forgotten when I finally learned some of it back again! Rudy
