great trip to Louisiana.
We went over a long
weekend and
crammed in as much
as possible, includ-
ing two football
games, tailgating
with Mr Keith, trying
oysters with Ms
Cindy and Mr Greg,
and checking out the
city of New Orleans.

Alex and I had a great time playing in Louisiana. He got to meet several
of the people that I visit for work. Mr Greg has now met my father in
law, my husband and my son. Guess it is time for Jasmine to come out
now and have a Louisiana weekend!

asked to go to
the Fall Formal

4. Bret had a chance to go back to Chicago/Milwaukee for a
quick weekend visit. Top priority was to stop by his old
office. He misses his “farmers” family. He also spent time
in Chicago with the Zafir family and the Dodd family. Here
is Nikki and Nate outside one of our favorite spots -
Portillo’s. We miss our old friends and wish they would all
come and visit us.
