soapbox

alright girls, i'm a little pissed off right now. after club and the shoe party some of us went to sara's to have a beverage and prolong the mini-vacation from home. i have no idea how we got on the topic, (how do we get on any of these crazy topics?) but i was shocked to find out that out of five of us, i was the only one who has had an annual exam in the past year. i know what you are thinking.... it's because i have had a baby in the past year, but that is beside the point. i have never missed an annual appt!!! that is why they call it an annual - because you need to go in EVERY year! the great news about being almost 30 is that we won't need pap smears as frequently, but should still go in for an annual checkup. click here to read about the importance of pap smears. there are some pretty simple things we can do to take care of ourselves, and one visit to the ob/gyn each year is one of them. if it has been awhile, please let this serve as a reminder to call and schedule your checkup today! i want to see comments as to who has or hasn't been in this year... and if you think this is bad, just wait until we are turning 50 and i start keeping track of who has and hasn't had a colonoscopy!

Hey guys I finally got around to trying this out, and after talking to liz twice I think I have got it. I wanted to let you all know that I am having a shoe party ( I know it sound funny) It's on Wed Aug 29th from 7:00 until 8:30. The lady will bring a whole truck load of shoes of all kinds and all sizes. I hope that you can all come it's going to be great fun. I know all of you are not going to see this so I will try and call as well. My other news that you might have heard by now is that I'm having a baby in March.
Hope to see you all soon

Julie had her baby!

Hi everyone, I just wanted you all to know that Julie had her baby. His name is Ethan and he was born August 16. He weighs 6lbs 9ozs. She said he looks a lot like Chloe did when she was little. She is doing really well, Ryan is the proud dad, and Chloe is still trying to get use to the idea of having a little brother. We are pretty lucky to add another little one to our club family.

Food storage anyone?

Hey girls,
I am going down to the food cannery on Monday, August 27th at 10:00 am to stock up on my food storage. Mondays are the free days where people can just show up and get to town on their own...you don't have to schedule with your ward or anything. Anyway, just wondering if any of you want to come with! I did it about a year ago and to be honest, it's kind of fun! Plus, you are left with a really good feeling, knowing that you are a tiny bit closer to being prepared for an emergency. Yeah...good feelings. Anyway, post here if you are interested, or give me a call!
