Hey gumdrop,

Have you seen this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysqh1uzqGrc It makes me laugh, even though the kid apparently has a disease that makes him so chubby. po' lil fella. But he put that disease to good use.

Yea, the old people were very cute. I'm weirdly excited for you that you pulled off the rest of that toenail, haha. That's kind of satisfying.
That's so funny that the intern was getting with a coworkers daughter! Is the dad aware of it?
That would be a cool book to get. Maybe someday you'll build your own house with all this knowledge you're gaining. I always thought it would be so cool to live in a house like the tree-fort house in swiss family robinson. Did you ever watch that movie?

Stevie will definitely tell you weird things about my childhood. I made her promise to wait a year for some things, so who knows whether or not you'll ever know them, but I bet now your curious.... :-) mwahaha.
She used to be a meanie when we were little, actually. Example:
My house was through the woods from the school we went to up through 8th grade, so we made a path and would walk to school every day.
The school had a big tag sale every year to raise money. One year, first or second grade, I was one of the last ones to leave the tagsale to walk home. Before she left, Stevie told me she had seen a giant green snake with yellow eyes on the path, and usually I'm not scared of snakes, but she really freaked me out about this one. So everyone left, and her dad checked to see if I wanted a ride home, but I told him I was fine, I could walk. I got to the head of the trail, and had like a freak out. I just got way too terrified to even take a step onto the path. I sat down there and just started sobbing. I would get up, take a step into the woods, get scared, and step back. It was pretty heavily covered and dark in that first little bit of the path, and it was getting dark, so that didn't help. Finally, after probably half an hour, two older neighborhood boys came by on their bikes, because there was an area in the woods with a bunch of jumps where they would always ride, and found me crying there and walked me home. I remember being so embarrassed and angry at Stevie. ha, the next day she told me she made the whole thing up. What a little son of a biscuit she was.

Speaking of snakes, though, my dad actually got bit by a rattlesnake when he was in grad school in Arizona.

Those are my stories. I miss you lots, I can't wait to snuggle up next to you again soon. And watch kiddie movies and do puzzles and such. Maybe even a scary movie.

I'm really sorry about the bike :-/ very sad.

I told Derk about the ticket situation but now that I think of it we never came to a conclusion. He hasn't bought his yet.

besos y abrazos,

ps. The science of kissing is called philematology.
pss. Although many men and women consider it childish, more than 95% of them occasionally like to rub noses while kissing. Often called an “Eskimo kiss” in Western culture, this form of kissing is based loosely on a traditional Inuit greeting called a “kunik.”

Middle Finger Mom

hahaha I was going through some fun pictures from last summer, and I found one of my mom, me, my brother, and his ex girlfriend. We were at big sky for one of bran's downhill mountain bike races. I zoomed in on my mom in the picture and was surprised at what I saw, haha. i attached the far out and the zoomed in picture, maybe you'll think it's funny too. I think she was pissed off at my dad as he took the picture for some reason.

Bike

Hiii

It doesn't look good mostly because the fairings arent there, with those on it would look a lot better, the ones I wanna get are a kit and look like the ones that are on this bike...

but mine would look better than that one if I did all the things I'd like to do, in my opinion at least... I might give him (Jared Smith) a call now and see what he says

and i dont know why but I thought I'd show you my dirt bike too

not the newest or nicest, but its a good one

theres one when everything was off while we were changing the piston and one with everything on it afterwards

Babe

Hey babe

Sorry I didnt respond earlier but I was busy getting ready for the big countryfest/your birthday weekend and it was more than worth it.

Thats really nice about the old man and his wife who passed away. I love seeing older people who still love each other like that, or if they cant show it, at least talk about the other like that, I think its great and hope someday I can have something like that.

Anyhow, today after my nap I looked down at my toe nail, the messed up one and remembered how you said you would have torn it off by now and then I got curious and actually ended up taking it all off which is kind of exciting, I was getting really tired of looking at it.

Today I heard a funny thing too, so it turns out that the old engineering intern was getting with one of the guy in the company's daughters, and I saw at that party and kinda figured that was the case but didnt ask any questions. But today the guy who is kinda my boss in the shop was talking to someone about that. And as a going away present, the company gave that kid a copy of the book that the owner wrote about timber frame construction which is actually a pretty cool book, I hope I get one,,, but anyways they passed it around and people signed it as a way for him to remember the experience (for him it was different, he was from france and spent 9 months working for them... thats what theyve always done they told me).... but the guy who i was referring to wrote this in his book "If there is rust on the roof, then theres water in the basement" (either that or if theres rust on the roof, then the basement is wet" which i thought was pretty funny, i had never heard it before, so i thought i would share it with you

Im still waiting for nina to accept my friend request i really wanna see those pictures again :( but I just accepted Stevies friend request so thats pretty cool i suppose. Maybe she'll tell me more weird things that you used to do when you were little or something.

Alright well I'm sad that I won't be sharing a bed with you tonight but soon enough I'm sure we'll find a reason to do so again, and I look forward to that day... I really liked just playing with you laying around in your room too

Hugs and Kisses

Chris

P.S. if you get bored and want to do the puzzle or watch the edge or the incredibles you dont have to feel bad, id like to do those with you but i wouldn't be mad, the puzzle could keep you busy for a while on a rainy day which could be nice

oh and eye rilly lie cue

cowboy

hey cowboy

I was thinking about the huge hike you want to do this year, and I started procrastinating going through old hiking pictures from when my family did like vegas, hoover dam, grand canyon, bryce canyon, and zion. I think my favorite hike ever was Angel's Landing, which is at Zion.

This is a pretty good picture of it: http://www.alpinedave.com/zion/prodigalson/angels_landing.jpg.  I've never had such an adrenaline pumping hike, cause the last part of the trail is really narrow with vertical drop offs on either side. They had chains to hold on to for parts of it. I guess a lot of people rock climb up the side, too, and it takes 2 days so they have to sleep hanging in tents. That would be so freaky. Once you're at the top though it kind of looks like you're in Jurassic park or something, http://www.americanhikingadventures.com/images/Zion_Valley_view.jpg

mehh okie Imma get back to work. I hope your day wasn't too awful in the shop,
Rachers.

Sugar Daddy

Hey sugar daddy,

I actually always traded away the sugar daddys when I got them in my halloween candy, cause they were so hard to chew.

I just had a morning filled with cute old people. I went to visit the woman I do work study for, in the art department. She had come in to Perrecas and was raving to the owner, Maria, about what a great worker/person I am, which was very nice. So I told her I would stop by and say hey to her. I did that today, and she had a gift for me for working for her for the year. Very cute.

Then I went out to eat with that fellow who gave me the scholarship and Sally Webster, who works in the alumni relations building. Nice free lunch. He had a pretty thick Italian accent...he's 96 and still going strong. It was so cute, he was talking about his wife Alma the whole time, who was a the daughter of a coal miner from Billings, MT, and I guess she passed away 6 years ago. He met her when he was in the army, and I guess she was the hot shot, and he never thought he could even get a date with her, but he not only got a date, he eventually even got her for life.

So, cute old people. And now, Perrecas. woop woop. Know what sucks? Izzy is already working Sunday, he forgot, so he can't cover me. Really really really sucks. So I'm going to call more people today.

I hope you're having a fantastic day at the office.

     

See you tomorrow!!! yayay

Honey Bunches of Oats

hey honey bunches of oats,

ohman I just took a nap before I have to go work at perrecas, and I am so sticky now. But it was hard to wake up. holy moly I pressed snooze a lot of times.

Did you fix the old chain to your bike so you could put it on? Cause didn't you say it actually broke?

Today for lunch, it's a seminar day, and usually dining services provides food, but today they forgot, so we all got to get upper takeout. It was nice and filling.

Why is it a good thing you're not from winchester?

haha that's really funny about the L barn.

okie shoot I have to go bike to perrecas, but maybe I'll write you a longer email later.

Hope work's going well,
Rachel
