You can come to Patagonia with us! (Me, Becca, Karen) We're tentatively going in February... Emily can come too!

Becca said...

Yeah Patagonia!!

Emily should totally come with us, didn't you say she had the end of February off school?

Leann said...

That was an interesting blog. More information to get to know you

:-)

Emily should totally go with you. She gets done sometime shortly after mid Feb. and has two weeks before she flies home on March 3rd.

Try to get her to go!!!

I won't be able to join you (to my massive disappointment) cause I have this minor problem of paying for TWO KIDS IN COLLEGE!!

She is checking her college email.

Becca said...

Yeah. The two kids in college thing does suck. My mom is STILL deferring on going on trips even though we're out!! You should've sent them to cheap state schools with good football teams ... I'll just chalk it up as one more reason to not have kids :)...
