Hitting the road,ETA .... Sunday!

Now this is more like it. I got to read 2 posts today!! I'm getting spoiled.
I'm about to hit the road and just wanted to give you all my number. I bought a cheap little phone for the drive. 902 292 5711. Its a halifax number so I'll have it when I get back too. I know its a little morbid but I also wanted to say I love you guys before I left. It's a long drive to do alone and while I'm sure nothing will go wrong; you never know. I'm excited to see all of you.Should be in NS by Sunday/Monday depending on the weather.I hope your all doing well,talk to you soon.

I'm Pregnant

Oh wait that is just my beer gut .
So here it is, the long awaited post from your long lost brother. First i feel i need to explain myself. Work has been crazy because it is coming to an end for me, literally we hire my replacement on Saturday and so i've had about 10 different projects i was madly trying to wrap-up. Couple that with the fact that i can't concentrate on two things at once and i end up going into hiding for a month.

Nevertheless, i'm back now and Mrs. D i'd expect a call tomorrow evening from me. Also, kirsten says hello.

To the right you'll find a picture from the wedding, we finally got our pictures back and i've been working on getting them all together(another lil project), soon i'll post a link to an online photoalbum of sorts so you can all see them. We decided to do a thank you card with a link to a website with pictures and video from the wedding, so we need to print those and get them in the main soon too!

I never got the chance to thank you guys for being so very awesome during thw x-mas and wedding season. Tam and K taking care of Dad and providing me with an escape from the house and kirsten:) , Scott and Linda juggling families and schedules and getting us our flower girls, jamie taking such good care of my co-workers... oh and mom and beth and adam doing a lot of little things that having just married they knew needed to be done. So thank you all sooooo much. (That parahgrph brought to you by brother neil, sister in law kirsten and the letter C)

On to much more important things. In one year we went from a family of renting/unmarried scattered accross the country brother and sisters to a well-oiled marrying/house buying/moving accross the country to home finally kinda family. This is impressive. I second the urge for you to drive carefully Jamie and unbelievably excited for both tammy and scott. I'm hoping beth and adam come home early so adam and I can play some golf and drink some corona's. It's not the i miss you less beth, i just keep my mind occupied (school teachers have too much free time :)

The situation here is not too bad. There is some interest in the house however one potential buyer might require me finding him tenets for the house which won't be easy. I'll try my best but its pretty late to put a house on the market. Mom is having more good days than bad now which is really good. I'm trying to be home more often and now i'm starting to spend more time actually in the living room with mom instead of in my room. She has had to change her tv habits a bit for me and i'm listening to many more god stories but we're making it work. Tonight Kirsten had to work late so mom and i had a soup and biscuit date. It was good.

On the personal front, i like being married. I purchased a large and small monkey combo for v-day for kirsten, we've named the big guy chocola and cocco and have agreed they are our kids for now. When we get a dog however, the monkeys will act as grandparents for the dog and thus will have to mature greatly(they're very silly now with their furry long arms)

Professionally, kirsten has re-applied for her job and will hear about her interview next week. I am confident i'll be offered a job soon at X and am excited about the potential for learning and doing innovative things here. So it seems we'll be in Antigonish for a while. We have a plan to be debt free by x-mas, we call it freedom 25, unless kiki gets a bun in the oven or we lose our jobs we should be able to make it happen.

Anyway, this is getting long, however i went for a run tonight so i want to put all stephens on notice, there is a 15% chance i'll be running the bluenose half-marathon with tam. Of course that means there is an 85% chance i'll be loaded the night before with scott and jamie so who knows.

Nevertheless, kirsten and I love you all, thanks for hosting us last weekend tammy, Brianna's b-day was great scott and we look forward to seeing jamie in the flesh very soon. Oh beth, tell adam i got his FB message and will respong shortly, i just prcrastinate,

much love,
Neilo and kirsten

One Stove Down One House to Sell

Well Mom's stove is in Sackville we just need her and the rest of her stuff. Well I say thanks for big windows because if not there wouldn't have been any stoves getting moved between Sackville and Antigonish. I have discovered that my new place has some narrow doorways but the windows are a good size. By the way in case some of you haven't heard we actually bought the house from Billy and Connor MacIntyre - small world. Now we just need Mom to get that house sold and get back to the bright lights of the HRM. Hey Beth just so you know Neil still exists I saw him when I delivered the stove to Mom, but he apparently has forgotten how to use phones, computers etc. and blog what the hell is that? Or maybe the missus just won't allow him to do these things anymore. Mexico Beth? Isn't that just just South of Athabasca? I thought you'd go somewhere further away. Actually I am so jealous because I really love Athabasca. Anyway J if you get this before you leave good luck, see you soon and drive safe. Tam I'll have a paint brush in your hand before long but when it comes time to return the favor please... anything but painting. Neil it was nice to see you as quick as it was but who am I kidding you won't see this!!!

Love you all very much!!!

Scott

Missing you guys terribly

Hey Family,

I too am glad to see that there as been new life given to the blog..I was missing my daily updates. So happy to hear that things have been settled with the housing situations and I can't wait to see both of your guys new homes...I am sure they will be amazing! You both should be very proud..it takes a lot of guts to make such a large investment and to better your life in that way...you are an example to the rest of us!

As for you J....you shocked the hell out of me when you told me the oether day you were moving home on Wednesday....I can't believe you are making such a quick decision but I trust that you know what you are doing! I know mom and Kim will be happy yo have you in the area... Dad, Scott, Tammy, and Neil might also be happy about it...doubtful though! Please be careful driving back...I know I am going to be worried about you the whole time you are on the road..so please drive safely and be cautious.

Neil, Neil, Neil, ..where do I even start? I leave you phone messages, call the house, call your cell, send you emails...and yet there is no reply..I finally track you down when you are in Halifax with Dad and you assure me it's just been "crazy busy" and that this week for sure we are going to chat...well I won't hold my breath on that one...if I sound bitter, it's because I am...I guess I just miss you a lot more than you miss me...well, I guess that's just something I'll have to come to terms with...

As for Adam and I, we are doing well. We just got back from a couple days in Edmonton where I had a teachers convention. The convention itself was great and I got a lot of great ideas while I was there and the rest of the weekend was also terrific...we stayed downtown at a really nice hotel and everything was paid for by the district so it was nice to splerge a little! Now we are back to the grind of work but in only 18 short days we will be off to Mexico for March Break. We are very excited, we are staying at an all inclusive hotel that just opened in 2007 and we have the platinum suite..with all the perks...above all else I am looking foward to experiencing weather that is warmer than -30 (which is what it this morning!). When we get back we will be in April and into the home stretch...we are still not sure when exactly we will be coming home...not sure if we will leave the second school is done of if we will wait until the end of July...either way we are looking forward to getting on NS soil for good.

Alright, well I better get abck to my job here...good to hear from you all and lets make sure we keep on blogging...I miss you guys enough everyday and without the blog I was lost..lets keep it up.

Love you guys,
Beth

Glad to see the ball rolling again.

I check this thing everyday but can never remember the sign in details. Anyways, no excuse.
I'm glad Scott and Tam have gotten the ball rolling again. I wanted to congratulate you both on the new homes as well. I cant wait to see them both. Is there ant pics on line of your new place Tam?
Well, I will be home soon followed by Beth and Adam. It's been so long since I've lived there and I really cant wait! All of us living in the same province for the first time in 10 years....I can't believe its been so long.
I was up in Edmonton visiting Beth and Adam last week during their tournament. It was great to see you both but the next time will be on our native soil.I know you guys are excited as I am to get home.
So not much to talk about. See you all very soon.

Love, J.

Thank God Someone Else Posted!

Scott, I hear ya! I check this thing everyday but I was the last one to post and didn't want to put two in a row on there. Scott, I was also waiting for you to announce your house! I had to let you post it first because you are older and technically I think you bought your house one day before we bought ours.

My basketball team won provincials last week. It was an exciting final game and I am glad to finally get a little break. This summer I was asked to help out with our U16 Provincial team so that should be a good learning experience.

This morning I signed up AND PAID FOR the Bluenose Half Marathon. You remember that one? It's the same day as the 10km we all chickened out of last year. Anyway, I paid so I better start training. How hard can it be to run a half marathon?? I'll let you know.

What else is new with everyone else?

Love ya,
Tam :)

You Guys All Suck at This Blogging Thing

Where are you guys? I have a huge workload at work, two kids at home, we have searched for found and bought a house, I have moved once with another one to come, I have taken on the presidency of the Sackville/Cobequid Liberal association again, I am back volunteering at the Lions Club, and am currently doing research for getting a business off the ground with James and Dad. I am still checking the blog and posting. So I am calling you all out. Post or prepare to hear about it.

Still Love you all - just want to hear from you.

Scott

Hello Family

Beth, that's exciting news. It must give you some kind of peace that you have made a decision. I'm sure your students, coworkers and players will miss you.

Neil, I hear you and Kirsten have been quite busy helping mom get the house ready. It's good that you guys are there.

Scott, thanks for making mom apart of your house buying decision. She was so happy when I spoke to her yesterday. Give Linda a big hug and kiss for us!

J, what's new? I had to buy 35 return flights from Halifax to Calgary on Friday. There is a huge seat sale the beginning of June. I got my return flights for $522 tax in! Just a heads up but I hope you can come home even sooner then that.

Works busy as usual and basketball will be wrapping up soon. We've got our playoff games this week and my best player is suspended for a week for getting into a fight :(

Hope you are all well and keep on blogging! Love you,
T :)

Guess I've been a tad hypocritical!

Hey Guys,

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted...and after me getting on you guys about not posting..I am truely ashamed! So how has everyone been? I here the real-estate bug is getting past around our family lately! That's great..such exciting times ahead..congrats Tammy and Scott..you must be so excited..I can't wait to see the new pads. Now lets just keep our fingers crossed that everything will workout paper wise and stuff.

Not a whole lot going on in this neck of the woods...I guess that's why I haven't been posting..cause there is not much to tell...We are into second semester now and I don't have my prep first period anymore (another reason my posting numbers have decreased)..so I find the days fly by even faster than before. I am teaching PE girls, a Recreation and Leadership class, and Cooking! So far everything is going great and I love my classes...Our basketabll team is still getting better..we played this week and only lost by about 10pts..so we were pretty pleased with that. We are taking them to Edmonton for a tournament there next weekend...Jamie did you find out if you could meet up with us..our first game is Friday the 15th at 3:30..then we're going to go to WEM that evening..hopefully you can join us.

Other than school and basketball there isn't a whole lot else going on...my day consists of work, then practice, supper with Adam and then at least one episode of West Wing Season 1, that we got for xmas! I now, we're losers! But we can't get enough.

Oh there is one thing I forgot to mention...We're coming home for sure in August! Adam and I decided last week that we are going to move home at the end of this year when our lease is up. We love our jobs but this just isn't home and we want to start building our life there because that's is where we see our future being. Not to mention, the longer we stay here the more difficult it will be to leave...I am already very attached to my job and my students...plus our basketball team is a huge factor as well...the best thing to do is to start building those sorts of realtionships with ppl at home where we know we'll be for a while...Anyway, just wanted to let you all know that...we're ot sure what part of NS we'll be in..that totally depends on where we can both get work...but we're hoping for the metro area..but who knows.

Well, I better sign off here..must get back to work...love you all tones..and can't wait to read more postings on here from you guys

Love Beth

Hello to my favorite people in the world,

Not a whole lot new here. Just working a lot, which is good.I did manage to get up to Edmonton on Saturday night and then back down to RD for the best Superbowl I have ever seen.I just want the record to show that I picked NY to win and I said it was going to be a low scoring game.Anyways,a game for the ages!
Hope your all doing well. I'm not sure if everyone is calling Mom on a regular basis but we all should be.Shes having an incredible difficult time with all of this and needs to know that we care.10 mins. every second day is all it takes.I don't mean to preach,I know we're all busy. I can just tell that she needs us now more than ever.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you Neil for being my own personal cupid this week.I realize you have a ton on your plate and it means so much that you and Kirsten take the time to help me out.
Okay,well until next time!! Love you all. ;)


J.

Hey Gang!

Hey guys, how are you all?
Neil are you guys coming to Hali in Feb? I'm heading to PEI tomorrow but should be home for the rest of the month. Next weekend we are hosting a tournament, the weekend after that we play the reginal finals (in metro) and the weekend after that we are hosting provincials but I am here in the city.
Scott, congrats on the new job! We really need to hook up for beer or breakfast or something. I can't believe tonight is the first night I've talked to you since the wedding!!! Keep us posted on the house hunt. I can't believe the prices here in Metro. They're probably nothing like Fort Mac but even still the prices in Sackville surprised me.
Neil, congrats to you and Kirsten both for the job offers. That's awesome!
Not much is new here. Nothing to report at this time.
Love you all,
Tam

Took me 3 tries to sign in - Maybe it has been too long!!!

Well hello to you all and sorry for taking so long to get on here. I have been reading but not taking the time to post. Tonight Linda is reffing and I just put Brianna and Jorja to bed and it occurred to me it would be a perfect time to say bonjour. (Been hanging around with Sylvain alot lately...Tabernac!) Anyway my quality of life has taken a huge leap since returning home. I'm broke as hell with my first pay not until Feb.1st but the time I have been spending with Linda and the kids is so much better. When you don't feel like you will fall asleep at any moment you can enjoy life alot more. Huh - who knew?

The new job is very different and although my official title is temporarily the I.T. Assistant, I do everything but I.T. My title that fits better is - Manager of all the problems that nobody else can or wants to fix. It wouldn't fit on a business card though. The good news is that I will be getting paid. What a coming home though, everyone is telling me how great it is to have me back. I think they might mean it.

Linda and I have begun house hunting. I purposed a deal to Mom that included us buying a house with an apartment for her but I haven't heard back and I got the feeling she wasn't too keen on it. Maybe it is time for us to have a house that is just ours. We have lived with people and in basement apartments for a very long time. It's pretty exciting thought to finally be looking. I want to get this awesome house in Waverly but my concience (Linda) says we would be house poor and has put her foot down...we'll see.

It's really nice to read that you all are doing well, except the bored one in Red Deer. (Believe me when I tell you all he is probably at "The Toad" or "Bellini's" as I write this) Don't worry J we'll get you home soon I need the extra money too.

Love you all and can't wait to see you soon as possible. That means there is no date yet picked out but I would love to see you all anyway. Neil just call me when you know when you and Kirsten will be in town, Linda and I are looking forward to getting together with you and if we can coordinate all 6 of us (Tam and Karine) that would really be fun.

Love you all from the guy who's back is still not right.

Scott.

whoa whoa whoa

Ok, so not too much going on here in antigonish. School is going ok, kirsten is well we are trying to plan a weekend in halifax for february. Tam, scott what are you two up to in february, anything interesting that we could get in on?

Kirstens work is going well, she gets more summer weddings everyday and she couldn't be happier. We're looking for a place in may right now, good spots are being snapped up all around us, it's just tough because we don't know where mom or this house will be so it's tough.

Anyway, there is an update,
love you all,
Neil

What, do you guys have lives or something???

Lets go people...I need you to stop trying to be cool and start posting!

I have said my piece...good day

Exam break is fabulous on the other side!

Hey Y'all,

So I have come to love the dredded exam break..when you're on the other side of the coin and not stressed from studying it can be very relaxing and mellow. I have one group writing on the 28th, some essays to mark, and final marks to enter on reprot cards..and about 10 days to get it done..so lots of time for posting, surfing, and procrastinating! Being a teacher is a lot better than being a student...most of the time anyway!

Glad to see that you older guys aren't leaving Neil and I hanging and have jumped back on the blog band-wagon. Now we just need the eldest to get his act together...we miss you scott!

So Adam and I were in the big city of Edmonton this past weekend. It was Adam's birthdayon the 20th (yesturday) so I kidnapped him for a couple days. We went to West Edmonton Mall and spent the day at the water park there. If you haven't been you gotta go...we had a ball...there was a huge wave pool..a million slides, hot tubs, tube rides, a bunch of lounges...it was great...we were like to big kids running all over the place from slide to slide..it was fun...we also did some good eating...we are big fans of Tony Roma's Rib House...fabulous ribs..mmmm. We got home late last night after getting lost on the way home for a little while..FYI- the highways here are not clearly marked!

J, it was nice to see that you finally posted and it was a special kind of post so I guess it was worth the wait! We don't get to here those types of words from yuo too often..loved hearing how you felt...I agree, Kirsten and Adam are great additions to the family! Linda would also be great to have in the Stephen mix (well officially anyway)..hopefully that will happen soon..hint hint scott...

Well, I guess I better get busy here..I haev lots of marking to do and I want to go home for lunch at some point! Oh yeah, J..my teachers convention is the 28th adn 29th of February...let me know if you are working that week..I would actually be arrivingWednesday the 27th evening...I am not sure what the plan is yet for the convention..I might just stay with soem friends for the Thursday adn Friday..and then maybe head to your place for the weekend..let me know what would be best for you ..or maybe we can chat on the phone about it...I will be in the Edmonton area before then though..We are taking our basketball team to a tournement in Stoney Plane on the 15th and 16th next month...which if I am correct is only a little ways from Edmonton (2oish minutes?). Anyway, after we are done playing on Saturday we are going to take the teams to Edmonton for the night and go to W.E.M on the Sunday..probably head back this way around 3or 4 on Sun...but we should definalty meet up that weekend.

Alright...I am really going this time! Hope this note finds you all safe and happy! Love you guys so much...hope you have a great week.

Beth-Anne

Hey Fam

Sorry, I too haven't been doing so well with the posts. It took a little Facebook kick in the butt from Beth to get me on here!
Nothing new or exciting to report on my end. Work is getting busier but I am still enjoying it. Basketball is busy too. We were in Cape Breton last week, Windsor this week, PEI next week and then a home tournament the week after. Karyne and I finally gave in and ordered internet. No more stealing bad signals from the neighbors, wahoo!
J, not sure what I told you at the wedding but I probably was serious.
Anyway, back to work. I have to come in on Sundays when it is quiet because I am doing the book keeping stuff and have a hard time focusing. Is anyone else awful like me when it comes to details?? I am learning quickly that accounting requires serious detail, ha ha!

Love you all,
Tam :)

Back in Alberta :(

Okay. First let me apologize for not posting near enough and for my first post of the year coming 18 days into it.Please don't thing I don't care because the truth is there's nothing more important to me then you guys.I will do my best to post more often. Unfortunately my life continues to be fairly boring and I'm afraid my posts will sadly reflect that.Anyways,I love reading your guys posts so it's only fair I chime in from time to time.
Neil, I tried to call you this week to thank you for your help.I really apriciate it,you are a good brother.lol. I'll make sure I get a hold of you this week to thank you properly.
I also wanted to let all of you know just how great my trip home was.It's always hard to leave and every time I'm at the airport I swear I'm going to move home.So this time I intend to finally do it.This year marks 10 years since I left and that is much too long.My goal is to be home in April.
Neil.The wedding was amazing but I still have a hard time comprehending the fact that you are a married man! Although you couldn't have done any better.While I'm sure you already know, let me take this chance to say that Kirsten is amazing and that I'm very proud of you buddy.
I'd like to be proud of you someday too Scott.lol. Whens the date? and Tam,I remember what you told me during Kirstens and Neils first dance.How serious were you?
I also want to say to Neil and Beth that I'm am very sorry for not speaking at either of your weddings.I feel I let my fears get the better of me and let a golden opportunity to let you know exactly how I feel about you both.I have lots of great thing to say, I just wish I had the balls to say them at the time.
Well.Thats my first post of the year.If any of you have any questions about my plans to come home or my new friend in Antigonish I would love to answer them as long as it stays between us.
Hope you all have a great weekend.I love you all very much.Take care.

J.

PS. It just occurred to me that I don't believe that I took the time after your wedding to tell you how much I like Adam,Beth.He has nothing but good intentions and I can tell he loves you very much.I'm glad I was able to spend some time with him during Christmas and I think that we all need to rally around him a little more and make him feel more apart of the family.Wish him a happy birthday from me.Have fun in the city. bye again all!

Can't sleep, haven't slept for a week

I've been reminded of the Sam Roberts song "No Sleep". Being married is many things, full of good meals, clean clothes and interesting conversations about insurance and limited liability coverage. One thing it is not, is normal. I just can't get used to having another person sleeping beside me. For 22 years i was flying solo but all of a sudden, whoa, a co-pilot and we like the cock-pit at different temperatures.
This is the no-sleep song, incase you wanted to listen to it. Somebody made a video for it


On a different note, i have begun searching for work or gainful employment. If you fel like searching for me, here are my abilities: Self-motivated and innovative, independent thinker but able to work well with others. Experience in management(8 staff), design(lead designer for 2 years), web design and content management as well as a host of integrated marketing achievements. I've been offered a couple positions here at the university which is exciting but i'm not sure what i'll be doing with mom looking to move and whatnot.

Kirsten just found out her contract job will be made a full-time job with benefits etc. which kicks ass! School is going well, taking a break from studying right now to post. Riddle me this: define and e-business model. That is the assignment question I'm trying to do right now.

Work is work. Busy but still fun, the ski trip has been postponed until march 7(i think that's the date) anyway, should be fun. Scott, has brianna ever been skiing? It might be fun to kidnap her for the day and take her with Kirsten and I. Would this be ok? Don't think they make ski's small enough for your newest gem :)

All in All, i'm enjoying being married except for the no sleep thing. I miss you all and can't wait to see you all again. Beth, does your team no how to score?

Love and miss you all,
Neil

Not impressed with you guys

Hi All,

Well, I have to say that I am not overly impressed with you guys this morning...I posted on here Thursday of last week and there is yet to be another person post since. What, are you guys so busy you can't take 5 minutes out of your hectic day...common, we all know that no real Stephen would ever allow themselves to become that busy with work...so what's the deal?

Anyway! Nothing re4ally going on here...we played in Lac la Biche this past weekend and got slaughtered...one game by about 50 or 60 pts. another by about 30ish..and then we lost a buzzer beater at the end of the tournament...J, you would have been so proud of Adam...he got so ticked with the ref that he got 2 technicals and got ejected from the game...reminded me of you back in the day. In Adam's defense, the refing was terrible all weekend..in the last game we were down by 1pt with 4 seconds left and we got fouled...she missed the first shot adn then made the second...but while everyone was screaming with excitment you could hear the refs whistle trying to be heard...he called a shooting violation..oh..I gotta run....they just called me on the announcements...apparentky I am suppose to be supervising an exam right now...hahhah ooops...love ya's please post!! bye

Hello Stephen's

Hey guys...just wanted to write a quick note to say hi. Jamie, I know you're flying back here today (actually you are probably in the air as I write this...just wanted to wish you a safe trip and make sure you give me a call tonight when you get in. You are probably working for the next few days but if not you should make a trip up to Lac la Biche...where exactly that is..I have no idea..it's south of here though..we are playing in a tournament there this weekend.

Talked to Kirsten there last night and she was busy cooking up yet another spectacular dish for supper...Neil you're going to get spoiled with that new wife of ours...that was weird writing wife! Hope that everything is going well back at home and that everyone has a nice weekend..make sure you take some time for yourselves and relax with all those great people in your lives.

Love you all,
Beth

ps. Scott, any news on your plans for the next while...anxious to hear!
Tammy, how did your team make out at that game that I saw before I left...did you guys
win?..seems like you have a pretty good team...very strong defensively.

Greetings from the Stephens Round table

This message comes to you from Jamie, Neil and the newest member of the Stephen clan, Kirsten.
We just finshed a wonderful chicken pot pie that Kirsten cooked. First she cooked the actual whole chicken and then made the pie with it, i think it's obvious she isn't a Stephen by blood.

Jamie has been busy, he's had a series of meetings with some of the folks i work with. It's nice to see him taking an interest in my line of work, it seems to have come out of nowhere. Jamie wants me to delete that.

Back At 'Er!

Hey Family!

Great to see that there are already some postings since the wedding. I was a little worried that ppl would slack off a bit because we just saw each other. Adam and I are back in Fort Mac and getting back into the swing off things at work and home...we're still trying to get unpacked and get things back to normal (can you believe we had an extra 100lbs with us going back than when we left!) We like to shop!

I agree the wedding was amazing, so good to see friends and family and to have a few (or more) drinks! Everyting about the holiday was fantastic...we got to do just about everything that we had hoped to do and the time spent with you guys was amazing...especially the spill over the balcony! That I will never forget...and neither will your back Scottie!

Anyway, just wanted to drop a quick line to you guys...hope everyone is getting back into their routines without too much trouble and I hope the newly weds are getting along alright back in the nish!

Love ya's
Beth

Great Times!

Neil, the wedding was beautiful and very entertaining!!!
We had a fantastic time! I'm a little sad I missed the after party but at least I didn't end up passed out in snow or flipped over a balcony.
J, did dad really find you on Hawthorne Tuesday morning or did I not hear that right?
Scott, why don't you give us all a reason to come together again. I'm thinking May would be nice :)

Beth and J, if I don't see you before you head back then have a safe trip.

Love you all,
T:)

Wasn't that a party!!!

Thank you Neil and thank you Kirsten you showed me just how much fun you can have in "The Nish" I had an awesome time (even though nobody ended up on any lawns) my back is just about back to normal and my head right behind. The only thing I hate is knowing that it will be sometime before the fivestephens will be back together again. I love partying with you, I will miss you all and I am counting the days until I can take Beth & Neil down in the snow again.(With great ease I might add)

Love You All Very Much!!!
Scott "The acrobat"
