Please do your civic duty and vote on a title for this blog. I have narrowed it down to 3 of my favorites. I leave it to you to decide. I didn't come up with any of these. Some of my friends did. Their fate rests in your hands.
Here are your choices:
A Stirling Reunion
Bagpipes or bust!
Great Scot! Where art thou?
Vote now, or forever hold your peace.
Lars Kjaer asked if we are having an evening event. The plan is yes. It would be an Alumni only gathering. That way we don't have to find babysitters. Our spouses won't be bored. Last, but definitely not least, those who are single can come and not feel like a 3rd wheel. We want everyone to come and feel included.
I don't know the details for this event yet. I will post just as soon as I know.
Okay guys, I don't know which e-mail address belongs to whom. I have over 400 to choose from. If you comment, put a first, last name, and maiden name. That way I can communicate with you. If you are unable to attend please send some information on what is going on in your lives. This is a way to include you in all the fun. Send a photie, A favorite recipe, An advertisement for your business. Whatever, something is better than nothing.
If anyone has Punctuation for Dummies, I need one! Maybe one on sentence structure too. Thank goodness for spell checker.
Just a short note on our family: I married Michael Jakobsen, and we started a furniture business ½ year after we got married in 1995. The kids wouldn’t come, so we got help via IVF-treatment. It worked ! We have Andreas, 6 years and Rebekka and Emma, 2 years. They’re so much fun. Our au-pair girl, Missy, just got here 2 weeks ago. She is the children’s cousin. I have been at home – and working for the business mostly from home. Now I will help Michael a little more also by being in the shop physically some hours during the week.
Michael is also busy in his calling as councillor to the stake president. I teach in Relief Society once a month – a great and not too overwhelming calling.
Here's the plan. I want to know about you, and what is going on in your lives. I am opening this blog to you. Send me an e-mail with what you want others to know about you. We can have this be a really fun thing, where you can put in messages, to look for others, share your struggles and triumphs, pictures. I will post what you send.( unless it is inappropriate.) Then we all can check up on each other.
What do you all think? Is that something that would interest you? This is a very informal setting. It is a place where we won't pass judgements about each others grammar, or punctuation. Be kind and have fun.
We will be having a McConkie/ Swanney reunion on August 23, 2008. We will be meeting at Roy west park at 11:00 for a picnic lunch. Bring your Family and picnic lunch. I have reserved the North Pavilion. I have no idea what this park is like. So, we might need some activities for the kids. I am looking for 4 or 5 people to come up with some idea's for big group games. You will need to be in charge of them and bring the supplies. If we are to make this work I need volunteers.
