Be the change you want to see in the world...

Synopsis of Us

Lisa is au natural. She likes to have babies at home and drink slimy green liquids with large amounts of earth in them. She loves the quacks and we love her. If you are ailing, just call Lisa. She will doctor you up!

Melanie is a little bundle of energy. She's very peppy and always bouncing around. Do not drive with her. She tends to talk and visit and not watch the road. Cuts a mean hair-do!

Sarah is crazy! She loves Diet Pepsi (too much). The group photographer with many free photo shoots for her friends. Many questionable eating habits that we all ignore, hopefully they don't kill her.

Emily is an overachiever. She never sleeps and wakes up way too early so she can pratice music with her kids. She loves the earthy green drink too. Be careful, she will try to poison you with sugar-free goodies.

Jen is a dental hygienist. If you want to know which kind of gum to chew (to xylitol or not to xylitol, this is the question) she'll know.

Lana is full of crap! Literally, her house is full of crap! Yes, just stuff. If you ever need any random thing, pretty sure it's in her house... somewhere. Very competitive, don't coach children's athletics with her.

Adria is straightforward. She pretty much says it like it is. She is our community sex-ed advisor. Any questions, just ask her, she knows it all.

Marianne (one of the tall, leggy blonds) is amazing! She graduated from college while taking care of her four children and working to save the entire Chinese orphan population.

Marilyn is a perfectionist. She has to have everything at a ninety degree angle, if not, she's nervous. Hopefully this doesn't kill her. Likes to scrapbook, spends a large sum of money on this activity.

Stephanie (another tall, leggy blond) really likes to work out. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing. Nursing is her profession (not wet nursing).

Soo Tuff!




I just want to give a shout out to all us very strong women who can change lives in one extraordinary step! I still am amazed at how strong our little Emily is, and Lisa too when is is not with child. We have done so much in the past few weeks, but the one regret is not getting that damned couch down the stairs!!!! Almost breaking Steph's hand, knocking me upside the head, Lana on the ground (literally)under the couch using her legs, cussing at the couch, wall, and fridge under our breaths, tears from so much work, Emily's crazy bedtime ritual, Steph's absolute anal perfect lines, YUK, Mel's huge nails, the poor Shaw's parents house whose I felt the need to just open the door and let myself in...what memories aaahhhhhh! -Sarah ( not the Anal one)
Don't forget Marilyn's quick shopping for bedding. I think, I know she got this all done while our meeting was still going on! She went to 5-6 stores in no time at all. You rock! We all rock! Way to go guys!

You know you really like my "crazy bedtime ritual" Sarah. Come on, you're a chicken just like me....I can totally see you praying while kneeling on your bed to avoid any unseen creatures lurking below! I had to laugh as you brought back couch memories! Especially the thought of Lana lying on the floor underneath the couch...unseen and ready to be stepped on at any moment!

P.S. I am not Brek. I am Emily, but he was already signed in, so I am not retyping everything!
