nancy, always so happy and excited to be around. I still don't think I've seen her upset, always has a smile on her face, how in the heck could you ever be in a bad mood around her. also a renowed baker and cook. she knows how to keep her rowdy 3rd graders in check. probably the perfect personality for a 3rd grade teacher. she will also always challenge you about the relationships in your life, if she can find any dirt, she'll dig for it and ask you what you are feeling and why. =)

Jeff has been a good friend since high school when he moved to turlock. always the knowledgable computer guy and so much fun. i remember when we would stay up late at night and call each others computers and connect via the phone lines (keep in mind this was high tech then) and play descent against each other. i had the upper hand on him for a while (33Mhz computer baby!) then he got a new computer (66 Mhz!!) and destroyed me. good memories of living at parkside in davis across from trev. almost loosing a wheel moving up to davis, somehow upsetting the dorks that lived above us before even moving in, fish tanks velcro'd to the wall, spider killing via flame and microwave, starcraft, heroes, tekken. jeff is a great character and always so much fun to be around!!

me and hel and brad -- good company at the wedding. =)
i also really liked the fact that the power went out at the wedding, it made things all the more intimate.
