Hey Erin-
That's a great way to catch up with you! Have you thought anymore about teaching bio?

Ahhh, thanks!

Erin - what book did you finish? This was a cute tag! Maybe I'll sit down and do it when we get back from cali. It's going to take a bit of brain power so I'm not even going to attempt quite yet. But it was fun to read!

Hi, Erin! I am sad and excited about your move to LA. As you well know it is quite another world out there. Hey, I guess your parents mission plans have changed a bit. We are excited but overwhelmed at the new opportunity to be working with your mom and dad. They will be fantastic. Sorry that I have been a blog stalker - your page is fun to check up on occasionally. Love, Kim Mathie
