Here is an update for any of you who read this...Life is good. The baby is growing and getting stronger. She has quite the kick. It's entertaining to watch my belly shake and contort as she moves. I think I'm moving out of the "I'm cute and pregnant" stage and into the "I'm getting big and uncomfortable" stage. When I get ready to go to the gym, Brett is kind enough to tie my shoes. No

In full accordance with my newly appointed task as the Official Newcomer-Buller Baby Namer (itself a surprising reward for the arduous task of pulling three near-all-nighters in the span of four miserable days), I would like to use this post to open up the process of discerning a suitable moniker in true democratic fashion to the collective Minds of the wider East Hall community.

The first East Hall member to see this gets to name the baby. The last gets to change the diapers for the first year.

Who knew you had a mother board in your computer and that it is so vital to the existence of a computer....any hoo... it broke the week before finals no less. Thankfully I had saved all my files for school on a separate disk! Let that be a lessson to you all. Save. Save.

Angela really loves dressing up for Halloween. And by 'loves' she really means 'despises with a passion.' So we had to find the perfect costume that wasn't so dorky, ugly, or household-contrived that someone would say "What are you supposed to be" when we walked in. Fortunately we created some costumes that were, in fact, dorky, midly ugly, and completely household-contrived. HOWEVER, when we

East Hall folks (or at least Danny, Phil, and Melisa.....because you're probably the only ones who read this stuff regularly),Angela and I need a great idea for a couple's Halloween costume. We've seen all the "male is the plug and female is the socket" costumes on the internet. We're looking for something more original. Any ideas? I know y'all are creative. Let the juices flow.

so i've toyed with the idea of randomly announcing on our hallowed blog that the pure blood East Hall baby will be born in less than nine months. however, since none of that previous statement is true, that news will not be posted. in other news, the East Hall Kansas reunion pics are well past due for being posted. the following are pics from Melisa's rockin' (and bumpy so as to make croquet

With Barack Obama's bold admission to use of cocaine not really making any news headlines during this presidential campaign cycle, I believe it's time we all pre-emptively admit to our sins in order to confound the event that they come to light in a most inconvenient manner not of our own terms. With that in mind, I would like to hereby admit that I have never used cocaine. I have also never

That's right folks...your crazy friends in graduate and med school just went to prom. It was actually the annual banquet for the Family Practice Club, but all the students call it the prom. Brett and I can both agree that high school prom was quite a disappointing time in our lives, but this made up for every horrible dance we've been to (there was a social lubricant...need I say more).

It's not very "autumnal" around here yet...still pretty green...finally dropped below 70 the last day or two...stupid southern weather! Who feels like pumpkins when you're wearing shorts?

...about the national pumpkin shortage??? I've been watching Martha Stewart's show via Tivo and she just can't stop talking about this national crisis.Read about it here. And then pray for the pumpkins.

So what's the official word? Is this a full-blooded EH baby, or only a half-baby? Do the executive EH council members have their votes ready?

All right, it's true, the blogging has been a bit slower lately. So what's been going on? Right now, I'm sitting in the house of Ed and Gay Kaufman (Sean's parents) and watching their cat while they tour Europe. I am getting paid more for two weeks of enjoying cable tv and a fast internet than I get for a month of VS allowance. I hardly know how to spend my newfound wealth. Probably go to the oil

I had to drive a 15 passenger van of high on sugar and life screaming kids one whole hour to camp. Do you really know how long an hour is! I was the only adult in the vehicle! Talk about a fun time!!

That's right, I just got back from a SHOWCHOIR concert!!!!!! It was ENERGETIC!!!! EXCITING!!!! AND!! ABOVE!! ALL!!, (just as corny as you would expect). But still a pretty great time, and a reminder of my one and only showchoir appearance at Erin Sigler's coffehouse. Inane dance moves, solos, ballads, pre-show chanting - all blended together into a truly special night that left a permanent smile

If I may I would like to blame it on my lack of computer knowledge. I'm not even sure I am posting this correctly....whatever.

I went for a walk this afternoon with a girl from work and her baby from Shanklin to the damn. She had never never seen it before and it reminded me of all the fond memories that I have from spending time at the damn. I thought that I would share them with you in hope that it brings back fond memories. Here we go... *Walk a mile with our house to the damn and back. *Danny slipping on the ice

There is a fun little sight at googlefight.com I think you all will anjoy wasting a little time on. You enter two words, such as "easthall" and "kenwood" and they 'fight', it shows how many hits come up on google for each of these words and whoever has the most wins. If you have more than one word, such as "Shirley Showalter" and "Bill Clinton" I think you need to put quotes around them. Maybe

I'm rather enjoying my week off work here at home. It's quite nice to come back and do small unimportant things, none of which really need to be done. Here's a sample list of what I have done/will have done over my break:-gave a short presentation about my work in church-played lots of ping-pong with my sister-enjoyed our new hot tub-sleeping in, and daily afternoon naps-eye appointment, haircut,

Sure, Martha looks a little nervous. But she'll be beaming when they get all moved into their apartment tomorrow. Adam just looks happy--Keep that smile on Adam, especially when you're moving all your furniture up three flights of stairs. Hopefully I'll be there to help, assuming my bus ride home goes well.

Not much to say, I'm getting ready for the drive back to my parent's house and I'm stalling. I'm not looking forward to driving, but it has to be done. I hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas. My brother and sister have been in G-town for the past week. It has been fun spending time with them and cleaning up their messes all week!

So I'm sitting here alone in my house, both of my fellow VS'ers left on Wednesday afternoon, while I don't get to fly home until tomorrow morning. Luckily no snow is in the forcast so I might just make it home in time for Christmas. I didn't have to work today, so I got to sleep in until 11:00, which is the latest I've slept in months. I then got up and 'puttzed' (sp?) around the house, doing

Phil, I was going to apologize for the glittery card that sent you to the emergency room, maybe even offer to reimburse you for the cost of the visit...then when I opened your Christmas card, I was overjoyed to see the same glittery greeting. I began to dance circles around the Christmas tree. All the while, glitter fell gently open my face and onto my retinas. I fell down taking the tree with

Nice pictures Melisa. I remember going sledding with my dad and brothers years ago. We would take our minivan out on country roads and tie up our sled to the back...probably not safe, and I bet my dad would get an expensive ticket if he got caught doing that today. So, I haven't read the New Year's resolutions yet. I will as soon as I finish posting. Brett and I haven't talked about anything,

Finally some snow in the great state of Kansas!! About time for real...So since there are no hills in the flat lands of Kansas besides the Flint Hills a couple hours away, I discover a new way to have fun Kansas style in the snow.

Wow 2 posts in one day...I should save it but I just can't....in honor of East Hall the tradition lives on in Kansas.Anyone for a nasty pumpkin...perhaps a food run???I thought it would be easier to toss this when frozen but darn Kansas weather and the bitter cold and wind..yet no snow...Grr... Nothing can describe the squishy ozzy thawed feeling... I smile when I enter and exit my apartment and

Alrighty...so I am feeling a little guilty that I haven't keep up on this as well as before...especially since I have had several nice compliments on the subject reading back through.Well this year I am not feeling so organzied and really can't think of much change happening in my regular life so I am not sending out the Christmas newsletter. (Gasps of horror! I know) Since there will be no witty

Thanks be to Phil, I finally am able to post on this lovely little site. One night I sat and read through the whole thing. Somehow I didn't know that it existed until about a month ago. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time. My favorite part was definately the New Year's resolutions. For those of you who posted them the definition of a walrus is: "A large marine mammal (

On two different occasions, I observed German tourists on their way to the Museum of Science and Industry riding the same bus I took home from school each day. One time, they were a couple and the woman had the smallest ass I've ever seen. MaryClair would agree. Anyways, I sat there imagining and preparing for entire conversations that might start if I simply asked where they were from or if

Over the past few weeks, our VS unit has been hanging out with a German girl we met over Thanksgiving dinner. It's been kinda nice to try to brush up on the ol' language skills. It also reminds me of how poor I am at speaking something coherent under pressure ("You speak German? That is great! Say something!" "Umm...Gestern ich habe ein...oh scheisse, what's that verb?"). Does anyone else derive

In these holiday times, I can't help but reminisce about east hall Christmases past. My debut as the Christ-child, our upstairs packed with friends and strangers, crafts and cookies at the corner table, and that warm sensation/mirage of popularity.David, Ross, Greta and I have had a few smaller, more adult (kinda) holiday parties in the last few eves. Martha, Adam and Luke braved the winter storm

I just want to take this opportunity to give props to our very own Philip Kendall. There's a little link to the right that you can click on to get to his excellent blog. It's frickin' amazing and should be required daily reading.In other news, our Christmas decorations are up and are, quite frankly, the bomb. Check out the sweet snowflakes hanging in our living room; bring back good memories of

I thought maybe I'd diversify the gene blog pool by writing my own post instead of letting everyone (and when i say everyone i mean the four people who actually use this thing) else speak for me. Well, Phil as you were looking out at the gently falling snow in G-town I was working on my tan down here in SanAntone. Melissa as far as moving to Wichita...mmm..how do you say...not a chance in hell

Just doing my part to make it three posts in the last two days. On Saturday, my second case arrives out of Ethiopia (originally from Sudan), so I am busy setting up their apartment, and also working with some other refugee clients on orientation to life in America and how to get a job. I think it's funny that part of my job title is employment specialist when I haven't ever really had a real job

The East Hall blog lives!We (the three or four of us who actually take part...grrr) need to keep up with this better. Come on. I know more of us are dorky enough to get into this. Have we forgotten the countdown chain to Christmas break? the buff-o-meter?

Alyssa made a whirlwind trip westward...I thought I would post some pictures I have. It was great to see another true East Haller again and hang out with Angela and Brett in Wichita too. So 3 of 12 live in Wichita...anyone else wanna move down and create a colony of our very own?

Hey, come on peoples! Where's the posting? I'll admit I haven't been the most faithful, but at least Phil and I have posted in the last month!Anyway, I'm up here in Sioux Falls and having fun adjusting to this great city. Yesterday I went to church and met some Goshenites' families and then in the evening went out for ethnic South Dakota food: chislic. What is that, you ask? Well, that was the

Would either of you like to explain what's going on in this picture? I was reviewing my pictures from Rachel's and my glorious honeymoon trip through Europe and found a surprising few with Danny in them, often lurking in the background, but sometimes right there with my Rachel. In this photo, it appears Rachel grabbed my camera when I was talking to that friendly couple from San Fran. Rachel, I

We'll almost everyone has now departed our dearest Goshen. I think it's just Alyssa and me - we're partying like every night until I leave. Seriously. So at this moment we're in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Africa?, Arizona...others? We really should get together sometime, once we have jobs and money to travel and such..or even before. And hey, if one of you has a party, and you

Hey, three posts in a row! It's a hat trick! Two things to mention, and I've got good news and bad news. I'll give the bad first.I don't know how many of you have been following Nathan Detweiler but I thought I should post an update since a lot has happened recently. Maybe two weeks ago he had just finished chemo and tests were all positive, it seemed like he had been cured. Suddenly, less than a

Hey eastsiderz! Back from the grand wedding, congrats Brett and Angela, now where's our east hall love child? Good to see some pictures going up, maybe in a few days I'll be able to get mine up too. Flickr looks cool but has a size upload limit, so I'm checking out a few other services. In the meantime, I'm messing around with the way the blog looks, so don't be alarmed if you see some changes

Yes, what a weekend. I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental about old times with East Hall. I mean, what a bunch of high quality people we are. I guess it's our moral obligation to spread our shining personalities and varied gifts across our fair country.I started a flickr.com account to share my pictures. Here's the link.
