Yeah! I am so excited about this blog! I can't wait to catch up on everyone's lives! I have missed you all! My husband and I just moved to Corvallis, Oregon with our three children, Macy 3, and twins, Karlee and Nicholas 7 months! My husband just finished dental school and a year residency in South Carolina!We are happy to finally be done! I'll post more and send in pictures. I can't believe it's been ten years. Jerusalem was one of the greatest experiences of my life! Oh...I miss it!

Sure love you all!

Marhaba! It's Jill Newell. Hey all! I think that I was on the left end at the bottom. As for life, I've been teaching inner-city kids in Long Beach while living in Santa Monica for the last three years. However, that's all changing in three weeks because I'm moving back east to DC, beginning work in education policy. Good to hear all the news!

Greetings All,

I am pleased to announce that I am the new self appointed chair of our reunion committee. Shanda provided me with all the information that she has worked to put together of the past few months. Thank you Shanda! This isn't a very democratic process so I hope everyone is okay with it. Everyone is encouraged to give input on the details of the events. Please reply back via e-mail letting me know if you are able to attend, RSVP. matt@masonedc.com This feedback will be key to identifying venues.
