Marrwige is what bwings us togever today

May 30, 2006
Well, I hit my first wedding of the season this past Sunday. Cindy Darr, one of the former Soderquist Fellowship members, is now Cindy Crowder. I guess I better clarify that I didn't actually go to the wedding. She wanted a nice small wedding in her parents backyard with more of an intimate setting. So I just got to go to the party afterwards. No complaints here. Had some good with, had a few laughs and then got "jiggy with it" if you know what I'm saying. ;) I did manage to shock a few people from work with my moves and my dress. Most people only see me in shorts and a tee-shirt (the best part of my job!), so like I said it caught a few people off guard. People that weren't even at the wedding were stopping me today and telling me how nice I looked. I was a bit confused but then I did a little digging to find out that some of the pictures from the wedding were sent to everyone in the office. Nice... no not so much, so I thought that I would post the pictures to prove that they were just over reacting. Congratulations to Cindy and Tim Crowder!













Just a side not and kind of a funny story, in the picture above, I hate to admits this but, I am actually standing on my tip-toes! The guy in the white shirt (John) is 6'4" and the other one (Michael) is just over 6' so I had to do something to try and even things out. As you can see, it really didn't help. The funny part of this picture is that neither John, Michael, or myself even know who the other girl is. We had to get our picture taken for the guest book. We didn't want here to have to get her picture taken all by herself, so we invited her to join our picture. I will just call her Wendy because then I will have had my picture taken with John, Michael, and Wendy and one of those lights in the background we can pretend is Tinkerbell. Next stop, Neverland. (Yeah I know what you are thinking.... and I will confirm it by saying that you are right. I am a dork!) Later

Clarification

May 20, 2006

I apologize for the delay and the confusion that seemed to arise from my last entry. It was ambiguous by design in hopes to gather some interest and cause you to believe that I was up to my old ways. But I am happy to report that all is well. I remain employed at the Soderquist Center and have moved up a step in society in terms of my living accommodations. I no longer live on campus but still remain with in walking distance. Although the walk to work is slightly longer in distance, I have come to enjoy its solitude and the opportunity it exposes to reflect on life. (pictured right)

Now allow me to introduce you to a new acquaintance. Laura Shank has agreed to share these new accommodations with me and, as I have discovered during this past fortnight, brings a great dramatic flare to our home. She will be returning to school in the fall by which time I believe we will have become good friends.

So as the world continues to turn and one day runs into the next, I hope that you will know that my door is always open to visitors. I can offer you a comfortable bed or couch, and if you are in need of warm weather, Arkansas provides intense heat and humidity during the summer months.

Although the summer heat can be quite ghastly, Arkansas has its charms and has brought about many new experiences. (After spending many days in the beautiful wooded Ozarks, I finally found my first tick. I am sure it will not be my last. I also happened to come upon two turtles doing all they could to ensure that the turtle population of Northwest Arkansas does not decline. I wish I could offer some visual proof, but I have none. Jason was also a witness and will testify to the shocking truth on what was seen.)

I hope that all confusion that might have come about concerning my present state has been put to rest. Life's adventures continue and as you may have guessed by my style of writing, I still manage to watch a quality Jane Austen film from time to time.

I am etc.,
Heather
