Anne The End of the Beginning?

So I guess the year of blogging is actually over. I expected us to go till Easter, since that's when I remember starting the blog. But my more literal-minded siblings have decided to use the actual date we started.

I'll still post, but if we are abandoning the day format, then I make no promises as to when I'll post. But I'll shoot for at least once a week, if not more. I think it'll depend on how many weird topics have been buzzing around my brain.

Things have been good for me. I've just been working, although this week I'm trying to regain a social life. We'll see how that goes.

Take care all!

One Year Ago Today

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the blog, bringing us to the end of the agreement we forged a little over a year ago. Happy Birthday Blog! As we enter a new year and the mandatory posting is lifted, a new day has dawned for the blog. What new adventures lie in store for the blog as we move forward? Everyone involved in the project is welcome to continue blogging as they see fit. Here's to another great year!

Begining of the End

Okay, the important information.
Jess is doing well and is now home. She getting some rest now.
I'm very much relieved now because she is home.


We're getting close to a final hurah here with the blog. I will be stopping posting.
I might make a guest post every so often afterwords.
It's not that I don't love you all, it's I've got something in the works that I need to devote to.
You will all hear about this soon.


I'm playing with something that reminds me of this video. I've linked to it before though. So this time I'm embedding it.

Jessie: Too Much All at once.

Ok, so it's technically Sunday night and I'm home from work. I didn't post "yesterday" because Greg and I went to a wedding (pictures will follow soon on facebook). Today our engagement announcement was in the paper! I'm very excited.
But I'm nervous for tomorrow (Monday).
Ever since the age of 17, I've had pain when I eat. Not like a tummy ache, but full blown "someone is ripping my stomach apart" pain. Every doctor has told me it's IBS, which makes sense, seeing that my grandma has it.
This last doctor though ordered an ultrasound. So I went. The result: gall stones. So I figure they'll zap 'em. No, after I met with another doctor on Wednesday.....I'm getting my gall bladder removed. Yikes! I should be fine, but I'll let you guys know....or I'll have Greg mention it tomorrow, since we know he posts as late as possible ;-)
Church is going well. Greg and I met with the Deacon and got our date set in stone! I'm very happy.
So that's pretty much it for now. Oh, and Greg and I are supposed to come down for Easter (seeing that I haven't seen you guys since Thanksgiving) and I miss you all!

Frank: In Conclusion

I enjoyed the blog. It's been an important and interesting period of time. It was nice to read about all of my siblings, made me feel like we were more in contact. Being at school, which is really busy, I don't talk or see most of you very often. There were some flash points and emotions were riding high some times, but overall the blog has been a great positive in my life. I've enjoyed posting each Thursday. As for where I think the blog should head, non-mandatory posting. This can be a place for us to post as we wish, about things that we want to share with each other.

I purchased Black and White and it arrived today. I'm still in the very beginning, but I'm looking forward to the game. I think it'll be a lot of work, but I'm hoping to accomplish some cool stuff with my creature.

I'd really like to make video games, like content and ideas. I have no desire or skill at coding or something, but I think games would be a great outlet for my creativity. so if you know someone who likes to code games but is short of ideas, let me know.

So one of the guys at work recommended this band, Paramore to me. I've added to my Pandora, as they are pretty awesome. Liz, you might like them.

I think if I were to describe the blog experience, I would call it fierce! Because each of us is fiercely unique, and some of our arguments were pretty fierce, too. But altogether, I'm glad we tried it. So I'm also fiercely glad and grateful for my siblings for going along with my crazy idea.

Things are going pretty well for me. I've been sick, but nothing I can't handle. Work, internet, read, sleep- that's mostly been my days. With food in there somewhere.

Liz, I made those zone pizzas with great success! But now I'm out of tortillas, so I'm looking for other things to eat. Any other recipes?

Bill, when wil your next beer be ready? I'm SO excited to try it!

Frank, we are way overdue for some Dynasty Warriors. Let me know if you have any free time coming up, and I'll see what I can do.

Greg, as you know I've been talking to Jessie lots. You are so lucky to have her. But I know a secret- (she's lucky to have you too!)

Anyways kids, I have to get ready for work. Take care all! Lots of Love,
~Anne

Some Winter Reggae

I managed to watch the Holy Cross Game. Yea, Tough loss Frank... The Crusaders went down hard... like in Edessa. And I didn't see Frank on TV either... Oh well...

I'm been listening to this song alot lately. Liz, this is the same band that does that Siberia Song I Love.

Red Elvises - Winter Reggae


This was a short post, I'll be back Tuesday with a longer one...
