Note from Jason

Hey fam! Jason left me this comment on myspace and wanted me to let everyone know whats going on with him, so here ya go!

Hey little cousin just wanted to let you know and hopefully you will let everyone else know for me, im getting stationed in alaska, around anchorage. The army is sending me there because the unit im in know is getting a nice long well deserved 2 year break from iraq but the unit im going to ships out in dec or jan so if you could just let everyone know whats up i would appreciate it. also for anyone who wants it my number is 912-980-9497. Love you. Tell every one else i love them too.(oh yeah and im not happy about this at all)

A blog a blog, I've got a blog

So I might as well use it eh?
Where to start? School is almost over, thank goodness! Everyone I talk to has been pointing out that graduation is coming right up, as if I'm not counting down the days!! I cannot wait for this madness that is highschool to be over.
If highschool is "quite the ride," is senior year when the motion sickness sets in? Thats how I've been feeling lately. So, to avoid this feeling I've been distracting myself with all sorts of wonderful things. I'm assistant coach for the highschool boys rugby team which is a blast! I love being around rugby and the boys just always make my day! They may not be the sharpest cheese on the crackers but they certainly make me laugh! Along with being funny, they are incredibly talented. In just 2 weeks they've improved so much! Who knew it could be so fun watching my peers grow in something I love?! I also work of course, which is what it is. 5 hours a week certainly isn't supporting my rock and roll life style, but it gets me by! Speaking of my 'R&R' lifestyle, my new love is going to concerts. Recently I've seen Tickle Me Pink twice, the Hot IQs, OneRepublic, and several other wonderful shows! I love going to different venues and experiencing these bands live!! Right now I'm also looking into volunteering with Big Brothers & Big Sisters, which I think would be a blast and a great way to spend my time! I'm also helping with a couple of charity organizations started by friends; such as H.O.M.E.L.E.S.S [[Helping Our Minors Enjoy Life and Engage in Self Success]] and Hope's Angel: Kayla's Cause For Kids. These organizations are promising and I love that I'm involved.
I guess that enough for today... more in a few months or so!

2 posts does not a blog make

With that said, hopefull three posts does. The question, "If you don't blog, how will be know anything about you?" was posed and my response is, "Ask..." How families kept up before blogs seems to be absolutely beyond my own family. ;-D The fall 2007 [[possibly my last]] rugby season is nearing its end. We beat douglas county yesterday 39-0 for our fourth shut out of the season and an undefeated season! On friday, november 2nd, we will into state semi-finals in 1st seed to play for a spot in the state championships, which will be held on Saturday, November 3rd, at infinity stadium. We're all really excited for the opportunity to play at infinity stadium, which was built just recently, specifically for rugby!! We'll have rugby announcers, tv coverage, and will be shown on the jumbotron!! It'll be a great game!! [[If i get a dvd I'll make and send copies to all family who can't make it]] As for school....its a good thing graduation is fairly close.

Megan, Matt, and the kids are moving soon and I can't help but feel a little abandoned. Less than half a year ago, we had 12 of the mcneil clan in colorado. Our numbers are dwindling to 4. I guess we'll just be taking a lot of trips! I will really miss the everyone and we'll definitely have to keep in touch!!

[[Love Love]]

Little Lemming

A question has been posed. If you all jumped off a cliff, would I follow? The answer would probably be yes. But I guess it all depends on the situation doesn't it. Not much going on right now. Just school, rugby, homework, searching for a date to homecoming, and preparing for adulthood[[haha]]. School is...well, lets just say I'm looking forward to graduation. Rugby is great. We've got a good team out this year and we're preparing for our second game of the season, which is on saturday. I'm really excited to see what these new girls can do! We'll just skip right on over homework. Homecoming is on my 18th birthday. (as is our rugby game against our rivals) I get the terrible feeling that I am going to break my nose or something during the match...because thats just the kind of thing that would happen to me. I still have yet to find a date. If all else fails I'll just recruit a friend. Well I guess thats the update for the day!
Vanishing,
Laura

Family Connections

I have given into the epidemic that is blogger.com. It seems a good number of family members have done it, why not jump on the bandwagon eh? I just figured this would be a fantastic way to keep everyone up to date on my oh-so-exciting life, but more importantly to keep up on theirs. Very soon I will be one of 4 family members to live in Colorado, very sad if you ask me! I will miss everyone but will absolutely LOVE to hear [[read]] all about the goings on in their day-to-day. Well I guess thats all for now! Love
