Hi Mom - Wow! So much has happened this year. Chris and I have been living with Norm since last March. It’s working well for us and he continues to do pretty well in his home environment, so much so that we’ve decided to stay on for another six months to a year. We are going to get some help as personal hygiene has become difficult for him due to lack of stamina. Abby lived with us last summer and may spend part of this summer here before heading to New Zealand for fall semester. Then just one more semester and she’ll be done with undergrad. So excited for her! Tia continues to love MSU and Bozeman so much that she only makes it home for short visits. She is dating a great guy, Riley, who she’s known since freshman year. We like him a lot! She also added a new roommate recently - a cat named Stevie. He’s adorable and sweet and I’m sure you’re rolling your eyes as you know how I feel about pets during college…. She hopes to study in Italy next school year, so Stevie will bunk with her roomies if that happens. In other news, Miranda and Justin are engaged to be married, Aidan is finishing up undergrad in Wales this semester, Erin and Sawyer have their first puppy child (Bannock), Ellie is killing it in dental school, and we are all anxiously awaiting Emma’s decision on college - not surprisingly she got in everywhere she applied, so just has to narrow the field. We are also all looking forward to finally celebrating Bob and Jordyn’s wedding together in Minnesota in October. Feeling pretty blessed to be part of this amazing crew you and Norm cobbled together. Miss you always and forever & wish we could talk in person ❤️❤️❤️
