To the UNO Wind Ensemble,
Guys, just checked out the website and looks awesome. I'm definitely putting a link on the band blog. Also, if anyone has any pictures they would like me to use for a "Pic of the Week", please e-mail them to me with a small caption including where they were taken and what is going on (if it's not obvious) looking forward to posting these)
I am getting very bored at the Food Court without you guys! All I have to look forward to anymore is the Lunch Special! (which doesn't even seem "special" without you)!
And Dr. N, we will have to put off talking about my involvement with marching band again until early July.
Good Luck, and hope to see you all again soon!
RJ
To: Ruta and Bruce
Hi guys!
We hope you are well and enjoying the trip!!
All is well here - nothing new to report (which is good)
I gave mom an update on your trip when we talked on Mother's Day.
We are looking forward to seeing some pictures!
Mom says its been cold (50's) and windy in Omaha. Its finally 100+ here in Phoenix.
Drop us a line if you have a chance..
Love from all of us: Vytas, Annette, Mom, Dad,
Zoe and Lucy say "Woof"
To Taurice Alexander
Happy to see you made it. Pictures came out well. Have fun, miss you lots. Iggi's been here 2 nights. Gma says hi and get yourself a jewelry souvenier.
Love you mom & Do
Happy Birthday! We miss you a lot. Hope you're having fun. How's the food? (Doyle was wondering). See you next week. Love Mom/Do
To April Bishop
I hope you're having a fabulous time in Europe and I hope your jaw isn't hurting you too badly. Life here
is kind of dull and I'm always thinking about what you guys are up to. Although I believe there is a 6-9
hour difference between here and there and you all are usually sleeping while I am awake. Hope you're taking
lots of pictures and I'll see you when you get back!
From Vanessa Macias
Hi April: It was good hearing from you. Glad you are having a great time We miss you as well and are glad you have many people to look after you. Our computer has had problems so I have not been able to follow you as close as I had thought. I love you Mom

To Jules DeSalvo
Meow, meow, meow, meow…Miles misses you. We do too. Love, your parents and Miles
Dear Jules DeSalvo,
You've been gone too long. I'm starting to forget you Good-bye forever. Sarah.
P.S. I never got a chance to return that sweater you gave me for Christmas. Umm, I left the receipt on top of my bureau. I'm probably over the thirty day return limit but umm… I'm sure if you make a fuss they'll at least give you a store credit or something. Umm.. It's actually not a horrible sweater. It's... It's just I can't imagine when I would ever wear it you know? Oh I also left a button on the bureau. I'm not sure what it goes to, but I can never bring myself to throw a button away. I know that as soon as I do I'll find the garment it goes to and then it'll… Wait a minute, could it be from the sweater? Did that sweater have buttons? Hmm… Well I should wrap this up before I start to ramble. Again, goodbye forever.
P.P.S. You know, it might be a little chilly later this week, I'm actually going to keep the sweater.

Hi Erika:
Hope you're enjoying the castle today, one can never get in enough
"Castle Time"!!!!
LOVE, Dad
To Sara Gentry
Hi Sara,
So glad you made it safe and sound after your delayed start and long, long flight. Mrs. Earley showed me the necklace she had on today - it came from Lithuania. She said several years ago some exchange students came over and brought her a necklace. Apparently amber is found in Lithuania. You'll have to see if you can find something. Might be an idea for Alissa also. Hope you have a wonderful time and present awesome concerts! We will check the website everyday for updates. Be safe and have fun.
Love,
Mom, Dad & Alissa
To Sara Gentry
Hey. I'm glad you like the sleep shirt and hope that the cologne is still on it. I miss you so much and can't wait for you to get home. I'm typing this on Eggo's parents' computer. We caught a couple of fish but nothing worth eating so we threw them back, but, I did get to drive his pickup truck with the boat attached to it and was able to back it in near the garage on only the second try. He also showed me where he grew up, and I met his family. AND GUESS WHAT? He took me for a ride through town on the BIG fire truck. That was awesome. But anyway, I think about you all of the time and I can't wait for you to come back. Let me know what time you are going to arrive, so I can come and meet you. Hopefully it won't be too late to where you want to go to bed right away, but I'll understand if you do. Maybe I'll take you somewhere nice in the Old Market, only if you are up to it. Anyway, have a nice rest of the trip and I will see you on Sunday.
Love,
Brian

I'm counting down the days before I see you all again!

To: Kathlyn Jacobsen
Good morning dear. Glad to see you made it over safe and sound. It took us two hours to clean out the dorm room. The van was full!!! I'm not sure we could have fit you and another large suitcase in. You have a fantastic time and we will read the blog every day.
Love, Mom & Dad

Hey bud, this is your pop. Hope you're having a great time in the Baltic States. We put new tires on your car and cleaned it out. [You are such a slob!] We think about you every day. I just thought I'd warn you about Norwegian cooking. Beware of something called Leutte fisk. It's some nasty stuff. Bring us back something from Norway and we won't sell your car. Just kidding. Have a great trip.
Love, dad.
Hi:
Hope you're having a wonderful time. This is so neat that we can keep up with your trip on the Internet--much better than when your Mom went to Europe 20+ years ago. I know you are having awesome concerts.
We are planting corn so I have been disking. Gramps tries to keep everything going, hauling seed to the planter (Jim Newport) and "dressing up my jobs".
Have a great trip. See you.
Love, Gramps & Grams out West!

Happy Birthday Jeff!!!
To Kai Sorensen
Kai,
Well i guess all we have to say is.....ARE YOU STILL ALIVE? We haven't
heard anything from you and I guess its time to care that your family
is wondering if you have been kidnapped or fallen off a boat. DId you
drown in quick sand or maybe get eatin by a bear. Well if anybody reads this
cuz we all know it wont be KAI please tell him to write us just to let us know
that he is in one peice or still has his head on his shoulders. At this
rate we're thinking he's never coming home and we'll never see him again.
So............KAI contact us.........Please.
With much love and concern
The Sorensen WOMEN
Kai,
It's been fun checking in on the website to hear about your travels. Everyone sends their greetings. Sue and Bill were in town over the weekend and also Ellen. Grandma and Grandpa wish you safe travels. I sent Paul and Marcia the website address so they can follow too. It is all so very exciting!!!
