geela - Do you live behind Gene's Dairy Dream? We used to live in the white house behind Merlin Brake Shop! Now we live about two blocks north of the McClure Library! It's so weird how close we are!

Shellie - Are you near Princeville?

Maybe we could all meet at one of the parks or at the zoo or something!

(I figured since the Illinois Board is so quiet, I subscribe to get e-mail from it! That way I now know if anyone has posted!

)

Yeah I do live behind Gene's!! Love that place

!

That would be fun to get together. Our babies are all about the same age!

This week is no good for me though. I am going out of town. So let me know what you all want to do.

This week's not good for me either. Kaden's staying with my parents for a week to go to bible school, then Saturday we are leaving for the Dells until the following Wednesday, THEN the following Saturday we have to drive back to my parents (they live up in Streator, about an hour and 15 mins northeast of here) to attend my cousin's wedding!!!

I feel so bad because we will not be celebrating Kaden's birthday until the END of August or the beginning of September, and he KNOWS that his birthday is this week!!!

Oh! I wanted to tell you, Gene's is our absolute favorite ice cream place! I like Emo's and all, but Gene's seems to always get all my orders just right (I tend to be a weird orderer, strange combinations and stuff)!

After August 14th, I will finally be free to do something!

So, just let me know!

We like gene's better than emo's too! After the 14 sounds good to me let's see what Shellie has to say.

Shellie, Oh Shellie......
