Alright, in case you really want to know what is going on in my life, here ya go!
I figured I'd at least keep my parents informed while their out of town. You know
how to reach me. LATER and, uh, BLUE SKYZ!
OK! FROM NOW ON I AM GONNA PUT THE NEW STUFF FIRST AND THOSE OF YOU WHO LOG ON OFTEN
WON'T HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN TO READ THE UPDATES! The Brown Text is obviously the past!
PRETTY SMART HUH!?
OK. We are back from the Keys and you are probably shocked that I've been updating this thing so much! Me too! I have a little time on my handz to do this!
So we went to Islamorada for their annual charity fishing event held by BP-Amoco and we had a blast. Once again we were treated like Kings & Queens for the weekend thanx to my friendz at Double Eagle and BP-Amoco. I want to sincerely thank them for a wonderful time. Go to the link and see the great pic we took together on the dock. Wa-hoo! Actually. DOL-PHIN BABY!!! So I now have to prepare for C.T. We will have fun, oh yes, WE WILL... 'TIL THEN - Hasta
HOLY $*IT - I GRADUATED COLLEGE!!! (Well, my AA - 2 year Degree - WHY THE EXTRA 10!?!?) Yup! 12 years later we had my Graduation Dinner at P.F. Changs in lovely Boca Raton! YUM, YUM! I must thank my parents for convincing me to finish along with Paulita who also had a big role in motivating me! Last and certainly not least was my professor, Dr. Beth Lazerik! She taught me how to add and subtract again. Her method of teaching mathmatics is kinda OFF THE WALL but VERY EFFECTIVE! I ACTUALLY LEARNED SOMETHING!!! 'MAGINE DAT! THANX DOC!!!! I DO OWE YA A BEER!
Congrats to Frank & Bre and hat's off to them for another fine job in the FAMILY DEPT! We are so happy to have "ALEXANDRA FAITH PARTLOW" join us in our lovely family! Poor kid, does she know what she's gotten into? Well, we'll love her as we do all the little ones! BRE, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU THAT ALL WENT WELL - I LOVE YOU!!! I am very excited and can't wait to see her! I promise I'll hold her....In about a year...when she isn't so fragile. You know me with kidz. GOD BE WITH YOU ALL!!!

Gotta make reservations so email me with answers on who's comin'. Then its back up to the lake to RELAX (I KEEP TELLING MYSELF THIS, BUT I KNOW IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN)! Wednesday the 4th we are embarking to NYC - FOR THE DAY - to rollerblade the city and eat dogz and watch the fireworx! All are welcome to hop on the train EARLY am. Back to the lake to RELAX (?). Anyone got any suggestions? E-mail me if so. BLUE SKYZ to all and to all a g'nite!
Well, here I am back in the saddle again and still goin' crazy!!! I am graduating college (I HOPE) in June, I am bustin' my but in my final Math course. I am doing good so that's nice, for me anyway! I had a blast in Utah and I am bummed to be back! Since then I planted an herb garden, not to be confused with cousin Herbie! I also bought a parachute to really enlighten my life. Picture this, ok, ok, ok, I plant an herb garden which is suppose to relax ones mind in sernenity (I've been stressing out over it because of the damn water restrictions). On the other hand I buy a parachute to RELAX and jump out of a plane. YOU FIGURE IT OUT, I DON'T HAVE THE TIME! Any way, so much is going on I can type forever. The Ft. Lauderdale Air and Sea Show was a blast and we've hit a few concerts since then (Staind, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Non-Point, Tantric, 3 doors Down, New Found Glory and Offspring (The kidz know who I'm talkin' about). Dave Matthews, Poison, Quiet Riot, Warrant, Aerosmith, Journey, Peter Frampton, Ozzy Osbourne (OzzFest-25 Bands), and many more are all coming up in June and July. So those will be busy months. I am planning a skydive weekend this weekend (yahooooooooooo) and Visiting P's Brother the next. Then it's off to the Key's for a fishing tournament with some friends. Then I come up there! We got lots to do! We are going to go to NYC for the 4th to watch fireworks by The Statue OF Liberty is anyone wants to join us (UNLESS OF COURSE WE CHARTER A BOAT, HINT! HINT!) We will then do our annual Sally's Pizza dash when we get in town (of course!), so all are invited to attend. I just don't know when we'll be arriving. We will be there for 10 daze to RELAX (yeah right!). We come back and P is going to Coa$t Rica for 10 daze (Lucky Dog). You know where I'll be!! So if you have anything you wanna do while we're up there, maybe you should e-mail me, that would be great. If you don't have my e-mail address, JUST CALL SABRINA - she has the whole internet in her forward list! I LOVE YA BRE! Y'all take care and keep in touch.

OK, I know I've been a bad person lately and not keepin' up with this damn thing, but I'VE BEEN BUZY as usual!!! A lot has happened since we've last chatted!!! I hope everyone's holidaze were filled with joy and happiness! Christmas is gonna be celebrated 1/6/01 with Mom & Dad. We went to U Frankz and A Bobo's for Christmas and also went to Busch Gardens (for dinner and 2 rides! 'magine 'dat!). Christmas Eve was especially nice to enjoy the company of the Manocchi's! Thank You, we had a GREAT TIME, and also thanx for the CHRISTMAS DINNER, much appreciated, but not expected!!!!
New Years was fun too!
We went to Moab, Utah and had an awesome 24 hr mountain bike race. Very tiring but very intense! Our team came in around 128 out of 300 teams and we were tired! An experience that all should at least see the pictures of! We really want to move out there!! We just got our NEW BIKES in and they're KICK ASS! My first ride time was improved 3 minutes over my old bike! A BIG DIFFERENCE!
I recently bought a new computer and configuring it and cleaning it up took up a lot of time. I got new toys and stuff! It's awesome!!! Along with that I got a CD writer and made some CD's for a buddy of mine and in return I got a nice little (FAT) gift!!! Check it out, it was an experience of a lifetime!! WELL....ONE OF 'EM ANYWAY!!!
WELL, HELLO ONCE AGAIN! How are we. Sorry for the long delay, been busy ya know! Still
recovering from vacation, we still have a busy year ahead!!! Much work to do but more importantly, MUCH PLAY!!!
ALL is good here I hope y'all can say the same. Work is keepin' me busy and P is too!
Miami Dolphins are kickin' butt! Usually they do for the first 4-5 games and lose thier wind. BUT!!!!
New kidz on the block(no not that gay group, rissy!). So far I've been to the last 2 games and had a BLAST!
We were in the A-B suite at a pre-season and then in the club seats entertaining one of our account managers!
I LOVE MY JOB!!! We went to the Monster Truck Jam uncle Ed, we had a blast. Johnny went with me and we also
had suite tix for that too! I hope the fun keeps on happenin'. I am sure enjoying this stuff!! I went to the
Dave Mathews concert the other nite and scored nearly front row tix. Aunt Gere, the only reason I went is because
you guys said he was good! And damn straight, HE WAS AWESOME! THANX. GOOD TIP!!!
ROctober and Novander is a busy time let alone the Holidaze! I know I have a football game in ROctober

Anyway, what a HELL OF A VACATION! Thanx to all who were part of it! I must formally thank Paulita
for driving all over HELL'S ASS ACRE and also putting up with me! She's a real sport! THANX P!
I don't know where to begin!!!
North Carolina was great until I broke my wing(arm/wrist). Unfortunately
it was the 1st stop of the trip!
Skydiving was fun and so was Mtn. Biking! The hospital nurses liked me and treated me great! I sweet talked
them into putting me in the front of the line and I was in & out under an hour and a half!
I owe 'em dinner!!! The nitely party at the DZ was fun and I met a lot of cool people.
Washington D.C. was full of fun! We walked our butts off and went to the Air & Space Exhibit in the
Smithsonian Institute. Then to the Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Vet Wall, and the
White House V.I.P. Tour! Now that was cool! No Skydiving as planned!
Maryland was quick! Lunch with Paulita's Uncle Larry & back on the road! Arrrg!
Pennsylvania was relaxing & lots of DARN GOOD cookin'! It was nice to meet Paulita's relatives and
get to know them a little! Margaret, if you see this, please give Grandma a kiss from us and tell everyone
we said "hello", especially my buddy "CHIPPER"! Thank you! I was also wondering if Peach Cobblers are
Mailable? HA!
Just Kiddin' ! No flyin' here either!
Philadelphia was an eat & run for the "Original Philly Cheese steak"!
Connecticut was actually a great stop! I had my Sally's, finally tried PePe's (was, OK!, better than Modern),
enjoyed relaxing by the fire, won $250.00 on the slots at the casino, my parents new boat is great, and so is U Ed's & A Ger's!
You must see this thing, I love it! I wish you luck and Blue Skyz on it! All the kids are so darn big and I refuse to get old!
I like my A Ger's perspective, "I AM COOL! I HAD THE FUN THEN, AND I AM STILL HAVING IT!" YOU GO GIRL!!!
The "FAMILY PICNIC" was a blast and an amazing turnout! Thanx to everyone who participated (I think we'll be eating leftover "Cabbage Slew"
(Cole Slaw) and Pasta Salad for a while! I was also happy to run into an old friend I played hockey with (Jill's boyfriend Don). Take care
of him Jill I wanna hang out and maybe go to another Boston game with him someday. It was great seeing all of my loved ones! Still GROUNDed!
*HEADING HOME*
Ocean City, Maryland was a good stop for food and also a HUGE tourist trap! I mainly wanted to skydive here because of the scenery; ain't happenin'!
Lots of Mosquitoes!!!
Wilmington, North Carolina is a must see! We wanna go back to spend more than just a nite! Real nice! More
Mosquitoes, I'M STILL SCRATCHIN'!!!
AHHHHH! HOME SWEET HOME! But I had a great time visiting everyone and I really want to thank all of you for making my stay enjoyable
and welcoming us into your homes. I hope I can get up there next year and do everything I missed this year, and then some! So please keep in
touch and informed and if you know anyone looking for a web page, please refer them to me! I wanna start a side job! Thanx. *BS*
Anyway, Sunday I received my "A LICENSE" status(skydiving) at the drop zone(DZ) in West
Palm Beach.
I am now currently rated to jump anywhere in the world. So on the way up to visit CT,
I will be jumping in North Carolina, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, and then to Connecticut.
A lot of work went into getting this license before I went on VACA. I am STOKED!!!
We will be heading up to CT on July 28th but won't get there until at least following
Friday or Saturday. We are driving the Jeep and we are TAKING OUR TIME. We will mtn.
bike & stuff on the way up while visiting Aunt's, Uncles, Grand-Parents, etc. We are very
excited and we're lookin' forward to some SALLY's Pizza of course. SO IF YOU WANT A
GUARANTEED VISIT, BE SURE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE SALLY'S PIE WITH A 6PK O' BEER.
My new job is going GREAT!!! I have very little stress(SO FAR) and I get along great with my new boss.
If anyone wants to call I am usually there 8am-4:30pm, the number is 954.426.2970 X 131
Well, I can see y'all have jobs and can't call me at work. Well then that's too bad. All is still going
