"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

Last night, we had a good-bye BBQ for Rex and Jeigh and their little family. They are moving to West Virginia for PA school. We are so excited for them and so proud of them, too. Rex and Geoff are best of friends and I really don't know how they are going to get along without each other. I often tease Geoff and he can't finish a sentence without Rex. We all had a really good time...it's going to be a while until the entire Meredith family can get together again. Good luck guys! We're really going to miss you!


The Meredith boys: Rob, Geoff, Bob, Russ, and Rex
Kissing cousins!! Emily and Jett were getting their last kisses in before it's time to say good-bye.

I'm glad to hear from you again. I will probably call you later today or tomorrow. We should do dinner or something. It would be so fun to hang out and catch up. We will call ya and see what we can work out. Talk to you soon.

Hey-
Sorry we didn't get together, I ended up leaving town, and never called you. I'm so sorry. This week is really crazy for me, so maybe we could do something next week. Or, maybe even Saturday this week, Jesse will be re-roofing our house, so maybe we could get together while he is doing that and Geoff is at work. Let me know what you think. Again, I'm so sorry!
