Now that you are on the blog register and send me an email at barnrd@richardb.netand with a few clicks I’ll update your profile and you’ll be able to post your own entries.  If you prefer that I post something for you send it to me in an email and I will copy it in to a post for you, although it will be under my name and not yours.

With this being said, there are a few things to keep in mind.  The posts on the blog and websight is available to everyone on the world wide web to see.  The address book is only available to Editors and above.   Do not post things like bank account numbers, telephone numbers, personal email accounts in the forum., but the information you put in the address book is protected.

There is als0 a calendar on here that you can add events to.  This would be a great place to put items such as reunions and birthdays. 

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a not and I help any way I can and if you would like, and I do host email accounts on this website and can set one up for you without any problems.

When posting events or news add a tag or two to the “Tags” area to make searching for your post easier.  For example; if you want to post something about Homecoming this year, add Homecoming and Dubach to the tag section and seperate them with a comma like this Homecoming, Dubach.  This will cause your post to show up whenever someone searches either tag.

 Enjoy

The last month has been pretty busy.  I spent 10 of my days off at the lake.  It was a blast.  In retrospect, I should have take Stephen with us.  The fish were all but jumping in the boat and he would have had a good time.

The reminder of my time off was spent doing honey-doos around the house or doing the electrical for my neighbor’s remodel.  The honey-doos were not many, but one of them turned out to be a bit more than I expected.

We were getting tired of the bushes in front of the house and decided to make a LOW MAINTENANCE rock garden and I was all for it.  Well one thing turned into another and we ended up adding a second one to the front of the house.  If I knew then what I know now, we would have rented a sod cutter to cut the grass out from for the second rock garden.  I have also come to the conclusion that there is a lot of money in the landscaping business, at least the places we shopped anyway.  All in all I think it turned out nice.  There are some pictures of it here.

I recently tied the knot with the greatest guy in the world.  It was one of the best moments in my life.  I had my big brother there to walk me down the isle.  I had Wanda there to help me plan the whole thing and tell who-what to do-when.  She rocked it.  Mom was escorted down the isle by my other big brother and Jori, Trisha and Yvonne walked in my wedding.  And who couldn’t forget the 4 cutest accents to the event as a whole, all of my nieces were flower girls and they did a fantastic job.  They also did a great rendition of Frankenstein later at the reception when 3 of them took their hair down and had a vertical fro for the rest of the evening.  All in all, it was a great moment in time, which my big brother has made into a movie/slide show to the wonderful tune “Who Let The Dog’s Out” by the Baha Men. 

 Mom is doing great, she is still working for Woodgroup and busy as ever.  She’s kicking butt and taking names. Her birthday is coming up in April. . don’t forget.  As well, she just got back from a trip to Virginia with Staff and Trish.  he saw all the sights and was able to visit Williamsburg and many other places.  She was in heaven.  Mom has a weakness for anything concerning history and this was a memory she will cherish.   

Jori is doing well.  I just went to a P.R. Event with her last weekend at Acadian Village.  Her company was one of the larger sponsor’s for the fundraiser involving the raising of money and awareness for children with brain tumors.   It was a great evening with a wonderful turnout for the kids.

 Stafford is recently engaged, as of January 1st this year.  He proposed to Trisha for New Years in Virginia with her whole family there to witness and enjoy the event, including Mom. 

 Angelique made Crusader of the Month at her school.  Danielle punched a boy in the face over a ball (Danielle is such a bad ass).  Isabelle has recently chopped a large portion of her hair off and is now stuck with the Dorothy Hammil hair cut.  Stephen’s doing really well, taking after his Dad more and more everyday.  Sydnie brought home two awards from school last week.  Go Syd!

Oh and I can’t forget my cuuuuzzzziiin.  Sandy graduated from U.L.L with honors and is living it up in Northern Spain, right outside of Barcelona.  She is teaching and teaching and teaching and translating for an Architectural Journal.  She’s fixing to move into a fantastic new apartment and . . I could brag for days. . so I will stop myself now.

So, there it is.  The family update for the Fall 2007 and Spring of 2008.  Hope you enjoyed and if I messed anything up, or left anything out, I am very sorry and feel free to correct me.  

Love Ya,

Sadie
