More Really Good News!!!
Matt got a contact at Fluor Constructors... check them out they are an amazing company...best of all they have sites all around the world (including NC, SC, and TN)! It seems like this could be a really great oppurtunity! Heres hoping that this job works out :)
OUR VOICE COUNTS!!!
Okay ya'll. I stayed up entirely too late last night watching the democratic convention and it really inspired me...
To all my cousins, both abroad (Katie, Stacie, Quentin, Nathan, and Matt) and here at home (Patrick, Zach, and Nicole), PLEASE, make sure you vote in November! Remember that if you registered here at home, that you can vote on an absentee ballot, so don't wait until the last minute to do so... we really need the change if you get what I'm saying... =)
Katie, YOU ROCK! Rome will be awesome and so will NYC. I hope the internship works out for you. They would be lucky to have you.
Matt- YOU ROCK TOO! You will so nail that job! (But you still have to bring my cuz home for Christmas... trying to make it happen so everyone is there!)
Okay... I just wanted to remind all of the younger crowd to VOTE!
Loves to all!

Something Kinda Exciting!
So.. I have officially decided on study abroad location (I had a couple to pick from) and I will be going to Rome this summer for 10 weeks (maybe 5 depending on scholarships). I am super excited!
Also!!! I am applying to be a site leader for an alternative spring break! essentially you go and do volunteer work for your spring break and I am applying for a couple of programs (you have to pick your three favorites out of like 50) so I picked.... New York, PR (just so I can see stacie lol), Asheville (of course I had to pick that one), and I also got to pick a fourth one so I picked San Fransico ! They weren't in that order but those are the ones I picked so hopefully I will get to go! I am hoping for New York bc I have never been and would love to spend a week in NYC! well a homeless shelter for most of it but you know :)
One more thing(sorry it has been a crazy week)! On the job front... Matt has an interview with Stryker Instruments (they make medical equipment) as a design engineer and hopefully another one with Interface Solutions (they do sealing or sumtin like that)! If he gets the one with Stryker (fingers crossed) we will be moving to Kalamazoo (isnt that a cool city name) which is where Western Michigan University is located (and p.s. they have a super cool MSW program bc I checked)!!
Ok I lied one more thing.... I got a great lead on an internship with the Women's Center of Greater Lansing today so I am hoping for that oppurtunity to come through bc it would be super cool (although I am already super duper busy this semester)!
Alright I am done now :) But we miss you all and could use some praying for those job interveiws with Matt!!! He graduates in less than a month!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Tips for the Game
Ok so midway through, I realized maybe if I had written down the "questions" and then searched for them all and saved them, and then posted all the pics up first and put the titles above them, it would have been easier.
I would have to drag them down to where they went and then it would make LOTS of empty space, so I would have to delete the extra enters and ah it was a mess so this might help
step 1: write down all the questions you will be searching
step 2: search them on Google images (remember 1st page of results only!!)
step 3: save them to your computer
step 4: create a new post
step 5: upload all the pics in the same order they need to be in. (you can change the size after you have uploaded them also just by draging the corner to make it smaller or larger)
step 6: Write the description (Age, Place you were born etc) above the pic
step 7: Publish it :)
this is much easier i think than writing all the questions and draging them down to where they go and all that mess. (thats what i did... boy am I crazy)
Glad you are playing :)

stacie
The next game won't take this long hehe

Blondes
So the game thing is confusing... You are dealing with a family full of blondes...! HooRay for Zack!!! We will have all kinds of parties this fall & winter... I like parties!
Eagle Scout
I guess I should pass along the news since Zack doesn't seem to know how to use the computer any more. He has finished his Eagle Scout Project and is now waiting for his board of review. Got the paper work turned in 3 days before his 18th birthday. We should be having a Eagle Scout ceremony this fall. This is a picture of his project. He got lots of great donations from local businesses and another really cool Eagle Scout. (Thanks Ronny)
Okay, my try at the game.
This is for those of us that have some extra time on our hands. I'm sure I am not included in that group. Hope this works...
