Hello Ladies...or Julie, since we are the ohly two who write on here....I am back from Italy and it was incredible. Jessica I am so jealous you got to spend an entire semester there. Florence was my favorite, but Venice I think was the most beautiful. I went to Milan, Venice, Florence and Rome. I have so many pictures. I posted a couple on facebook, you will have to take a look. I got back last weekend and the lead teacher in the Toddler room at daycare was fired, so guess who gets to take over. Yup, I am the lead teacher in the Toddler room. I get my own room and everything. I am so pumped and I have spend the entire week decorating, sending letters to the parents, etc. It has been a very fun and excited week. I am planning on heading to the beach tomorrow and hopefully I will be able to make some phone calls while I'm relaxing to catch up with all of you. Love you all and miss you tons!!!!

Happy 4th!

Hey girls. Hope everyone is enjoying their 4th of July! It's rainy here, so I think we are going to the movies tonight... I have been busy nannying the girls all summer, and am really feeling at home at their house. The children often call me "mom", and I am with them 6 out of 7 days out of the week. It's fun though, and their house is within walking distance to the beach, and they also have a pool we can use- so I am still able to keep up with my tan! I am preparing for my new job in Sept., and am reading up about second graders so that I am ready for my classroom in a couple months! Hope everyone is doing well-- Kel I can't wait to hear about Italy! Let us know when you get back! Miss you all. Love JUlie

Hello friends...I finally got reinvited to the poopants blog and have joined. I will start writing on this now. I first thought it was junk email, so I deleted all the invites. Anyways...I have caught up with some of you, but others I keep missing. Here are just a few updates on my life in PA. I start work this week as a Pre-K teacher in a daycare. Not the greatest pay, but I get 8 hours a day and it's all money in my pocket right now. Ray is off at military training so I've been hanging out with a couple of my girlfriends that are in town for the next year:) I leave for Italy a week from Friday, so Jessica any advice you could give before then would be much appreciated.....hmmmm....what else....Things are finally starting to settle down so I'm sure you all will be getting calls from me soon. I was jumping around the SC for a few days, then MO for a week and a half....and family has been in and out of my place visiting...so yeah....ok, now i'm just rambling...but please continue to write on this lovely blog:) I love you all and miss you soooo much!!!! Talk to you all soon!!!!

YAY!

Hey everyone! So I had this great idea. Instead of group e-mails (which sometimes don't work), I created a blog for us!! Here we can post pictures, update each other on our lives, and correspond without having to write a long e-mail, look up everyone's address, etc. I hope that we use this because I miss you all so much and can't stand not knowing what's going on in your lives!!!! LOVE YOU
