Well hello everyone! This blog absolutely rocks! How wonderful to hear from all of you!
We've had some fun adventures the last 5 years. I worked the year after graduating in Utah Valley's ICU; then when Warren graduated in 2003 and we moved to Arizona (I was never meant for snow). So I worked as a travel nurse for a few years in ICUs around the Phoenix area until finally trying the unit I always knew was for me-ER. Currently I work a few shifts a month in the ER and treat nursing as a hobby. I had the amazing experience of going to Mississippi just after Hurricane Katrina with the Red Cross and hope to use nursing for other disaster relief adventures.
Despite the remarkable resemblance, we watched our daughter be born in 2005 and took her home the next day. 7 months later her adoption was finalized and we were sealed. Maxine is now 18months and the joy of our lives. We hope to adopt again soon.
Funny story, one night I transfered a patient to med/surg in a small hospital outside Phoenix and ended up giving report to Kim Green!! I think her husband was at law school at Arizona State.
I hope the Vegas reunion is a blast, I'm a Mia Maids adviser and get to enjoy girls camp instead.
Best wishes to all of you!

What a cutie. I love her smile. That is amazing how much she looks like both of you.
Yeah, I can imagine you doing well in the ER. I checked out your photo to make sure you could still bench press 200 pounds. :) You're looking good. And yes, it was me that got asked out by (and dated for 6 months!) the psych intern at UNI. He was cute, so I said "yes" and endured your teasing. That's a good-looking family you've got, Mel.

If you are ever up in the Phoenix area on Friday night, you should come play on my softball team! It would be just like old times when we rocked intramurals!
