9:01 pm	This is Lauren Hello everyone, this is lauren, I am just using mom's user name until I get my own. Well it was great to see everyone at the wedding. I had a great time! I want to thank you all for being so caring and understanding as my life has been a bit rocky lately. It felt good to be around everyone that I love and to have you try your hardest to cheer me up and get me motivated to start doing the things that are important to me. For everyone on Weight Watcher's I have started... first i had to rid my fridge and cabinets of all bad food!! (and not buy more of it!:)) So.... starting on monday I will take my weight and go from there. So I will keep you posted. Ya'll look great and it was very inspiring to do the same. Most of you know about my boyfriend and I having MANY problems, and well it just got worse when I got home....it's been ugly. But I have decided to move on and hope there is SOMEONE out there that I can be happy with. He has decided to move home to his parent's (quit his job, leave his friends here ect...)to Ashville NC, so that he won't have to take the chance of running into me because it will "just be to hard on him" He has wanted to move home everytime we fought and this time I didn't beg him to stay and so of course "he's" devestated!! Anyway like I said it has not been fun and he is to leave to move around the 24th or so --that's what he tell's me anyway. This has all just happened over the past few days. Right now I think I am still in shock, because we were together for 1 year this friday, and I thought he was "the one". But I am finding out that you should always go with your gut instinct and mine started around Febuary, giving me little hints here and there. I should have listened!!! My emotions are still back and forth right now between very sad and lonely and angry and disappointed. I know these feelings are normal, however it has been along time since I have gone through it and I forget how long it takes to not think about all day every day. But I am trying to look on the bright side, I am glad I found out now instead of later. (amy thanks for all the heart to hearts and threatening to kick his ass for me!) But really you all helped me out a great deal! There is hope in my new (hopefully) career. I think I passed my background check and so know all I have is my face-to-face interview. (I am currently appling with EDJ) I am all done running restaurants and running apartments. I am very excited about this as my office will be somewhere in Savannah, so it looks as though I will be here for a long while, and that's great because I love it here. So you are all invited to come stay with me just not all at once :)! (I have a second bedroom that's free) My roomate moved back to Ohio to live with her parent's as well... gee I seem to run people off!! Oh well if they can't hack it on there own at 27 years old I don't need'em!! But seriously Savannah is beautiful and right now I am freezing and it is 58degrees outside right now! Because in the daytime it still gets into the 70's & 80's! So come down here where it warm! Well I have rambled on and on and on now, but once I am on the site with my own name it will be great to keep up with everyone more often and I will keep you posted on all my drama!!!

12:04 pm	new year, new goals Dear Family, Hope all is going well for everyone now that school is in. I feel like I'm on a better schedule when I have to get up and get going early. During the summer I sleep in until 7 - a real slug! Bob and I had a nice weekend. We played golf on Saturday. I was having my best round of the year and Bob was doing well also, but it started raining when we got to #15 so we had to stop - no short rain, but an all evening soaker, no chance of going back out. But we still felt good about how we played. We went out to dinner with some friends, and then finished off in the hot tub even though it was still raining a little. Saturday and Sunday we also did a lot of yardwork in the mornings, so felt like we got the yard shaped up. It's not embarrassing to look at now, even though we're not done by any stretch. Can you ever get done with yardwork? Sunday also I read at church, then we went up to the boat late that afternoon. We went swimming, cleaned up the boat, read for awhile and ate dinner out. Spent the night on board, then got up early and went boating on Monday. Came back in time to get ready for our first day of school with kids. So far everything today is going well and seems pretty calm for the opening day. Hope to hear from some of you slackers out there who haven't posted in awhile!! Love to all, Martha (Comment on this)

8:49 am	yippee, I'm in! Hi everyone! Hope this works as well in practice as it sounds. I would like Patricia to change my email setting to my aol account. The school one is fine for now, but anytime we are on vacation, or over the weekend, I can't get to my mail as they disable the server. So for this account, it would probably be better to have it set for MGQuilt@aol.com. Thanks. We are expecting Ben to come up here for a day or two when he interviews at NEOUCOM for medical school. It's pretty close to us, so we are looking forward to his visit. I plan to set up accounts for Lauren and Adam this weekend, so hope they will take advantage of it to keep up to date with everyone. Patricia, thanks so much for setting this up for all of us. Bob and I may actually be moving into the 21st century as far as technology is concerned. Love, Martha (Comment on this)
