I am still basking in the afterglow. I find myself reliving so many moments from the reunion. What a feeling it is, to be blessed with so many new friends. My family is made up of wonderful people, with giving hearts and loving souls.
I love you all.

I hear that Orrin. We are truly blessed. And good luck with that Smokin thing. There are others in the family that could follow your lead........I'm proud of ya.

We're sending an attaboy to you-good luck! We miss you.
Yeah, ditto for me too. I keep thinking about that murder mystery, and I'm pretty sure I was suppose to be mean to Lisa instead of Charlotte. Good thing I read it wrong....Lisa may have kicked my butt!
Orrin, I'm proud of you too. I knew you would do it. AGAIN. I'm still looking at my patches. Don't think I'm going to use them....I'm not sure what I'm going to do--or HOW. All I know is that I'm tired of carrying around fabric freshner & Altoids with me so I can be around people without smelling like a cigarette butt.
Well...the party's over, and it's back to real every day life....but this time with really good memories to hold...and the hope that we all do it again, and the next time the "missing links" make it!!!
Good job Orrin. I need to do the same for losing weight. Francis and I talk about it all the time but it is now time to do something about it.
It was so good to be with everyone. I miss you all so much. We now have such great memories and I hope we can build more memories. So what do you all think (I said you all, meant you guys) want to do for the next gathering. Should we try for every year or every other year. I heard a couple of suggestions like a cruise....or a mountain house, let's have some feedback.
Love you all & miss you a bunch.

Good job Bro! I know first hand that it ain't easy. If it gets too crazy, get a prescription for Chantix -- it made me not NEED a smoke. Good luck!
I feel the same about our family. We still talk about the reunion daily! Our family really is pretty awesome.
Speaking of awesome, Evonna -- I've been thinking of you this week! I was driving down the road and saw a girl driving a pink Mary Kay caddy! Lisa & I saw the same girl a couple of weeks ago too! Hope your trip was a good one!
Big O, I know you can do it! Just one day and a time and pretty soon, it's history. I too think about the reunion often and it is such sweet memories. I sure hope we can do it again soon. I would be all for making it an annual event. If we start planning now it would be easy to pull it off again in 2009.
Does July 4th weekend work for everyone? If so, lets get it on the calenders and start planning. In my opinion it makes sense to have it in Arkansas (Lisa, that's Are Can Saw, see I'm hookt on fonix) most of the people are already there as well as the history. Only a few of us have to travel. How about a Karoake night next time? We have a really good machine with lots of CD's and of course if others have CD's they could play them as well. Well, that's my two cents worth already.
Hey Sarah...I LIKE your two cents worth!!! There are several things we could do. Caravan to Hardy or Dexter and Kareoake is great, 4th of July is good....and we have mountains 40 minutes from here.... We can use the church camp ground (they have a pool too so Donna will be comfy)...some may want to take a longer vacation and drive up to Branson....I'm up for anything! If it's a cruise I'll do that too, it won't be my first choice-but I'll do it if that's what is decided. What ever we do, I just want lots of "down" time to sit and talk talk talk.
Orrin, how did you quit smoking? Did you just say I quit? What about you Cory? We need to quit but it's hard to commit to it.
Way to go Orrin! And I couldn't agree with you more about our family...it's just the best.
Sarah I'm up for whatever everyone wants to do, count me in!
