Me, Riggs, Abbie, Cynamyn, and Michelle. We all got together and hung out for a little while after working our tails off and winning the Alumni game. Always good to see old friends!

We are the champions! The Alumni Team. Well the first Urbana University Women's Alumni soccer game was held on the new turf field at Urbana last weekend. To our dismay us old timers didn't play as bad as we thought we would. There weren't many of us but we did end up with the win 5-4. Jennifer Riggs had two goals, Kyle Wunderlich two goals (okay so we had a guy playing on our team part of the time, but he is just a goalie ha-ha), and Abbey Raike yes that is me, I actually scored a goal myself. It was nice to see everyone and get back out on the soccer field. Urbana is coming a long way from when I started there in 1999, amazing how much it has changed. President Head is the man who should take credit for that!

Well...

My work week started out with my car not starting. Fun times let me tell you. Well Jason and I purchased a car from my mom and dad who got the car from my Grampa about 2 weeks ago. It is a 1999 Buick Century with 48,000 miles on it, yeah I said 48,000 miles on it, so we have an extra car luckily so I was able to make it to work. Well, we jumped my car last night and took it to a place down the road and they checked it out and called me this morning. It is the starter, 400 bucks, awesome! Surprisingly we got some good news though about this, I bought an extended warranty and believe it or not we only have to pay 50 bucks, thank goodness. We are in the process of replacing our garage door and door opener (NOT cheap) so this was the last thing we needed but we are all good though. We are having some problems with our washer but we should be able to get that taken care of, these days nothing that happens to us seems to phase us since we have had so much bad luck lately, so we are staying positve and luckily things are working out for us! This weekend I am heading down to the old UU for an alumni soccer game. I may regret that come Sunday but it will be great to see everyone again! I am so out of shape though I will probably embaress myself, but at least I know it ahead of time. I never was that great of a player in the first place! Ha-ha, so hope you are all doing well and I am looking forward to seeing a lot of you this weekend!

Congrats to Nick and Kristy who got married on Saturday in Centerville Ohio. Nick and I went to Urbana together. Best wishes and all the happiness to them! Some more pictures from the wedding are below.

Hola

Things are still going well for Jason and I. This past weekend Jason took Friday off and headed up to somewhere in Michigan with his buddies Derek and Ben to watch some pro golf action. Needless to say he was like a kid in a candy store when he got home after following Tiger Woods around all day. Saturday morning he played in a golf scramble with Slim, Ben, and Curtis where they did "ok." Saturday night Jason and I went to a block party with our neighbors. We weren't sure what to expect but we ended up having a good time. We were able to meet some new people, we ate some dinner, played some goofy games and sat around a bonfire. We did play a round of golf which was pretty fun. Sunday was a lounge day for us. This coming weekend we have a wedding to go to in Centerville OH, close to Dayton. My friend Nick from college is getting married. It will be good to see all my old chums and it is always exciting to see good friends get married and start that new chapter in their life. Hope everyone is doing well!

This is an envelope addressed by my mother that I thought was too funny not to take a picture of. She has never done this and now she does it a year later! Pretty funny! It says Jason and Abbey Metz in case you can't read it! Thanks for the laugh MOM!
