Time to Brag about Shannon

I’ve posted a lot of exciting news about Brian & Andrea and Dawn and Chris lately, so it’s time to brag about Shannon. Shannon has accepted a new position as a publicist with a firm in Dover, New Hampshire. Bisson Barcelona is a national publicity firm that specializes in high visibility campaigns and integrated marketing strategies for Authors, Business Professionals and Companies. Even her boss at the Women’s Business Center told Shannon that this was a fabulous career move for her (of course she tried to counter-offer first).

We’re really proud of you, Shay!

Me and the World Series Trophy

The White Sox World Series Trophy Tour was at work today. So I waited in line for about 10 – 15 minutes and they snapped a polaroid.

Here I am! Pretty cool except they move you out of there in about 5 seconds to get the next person in.

What a Great Night!!!

As you all may know I just recently turned the big two one (A.K.A DRUNK) haha just kidding dad! To celebrate this wonderful occasion my wonderful cousin Shannon came out to celebrate with me and a couple of my friends down at some of the ISU bars. She felt right at home. Basically I’m just posting this to say that not only do I wish all of you could have joined us but also to thank Shannon soooo very much for driving down to celebrate a birthday I’ll never be able to remember.

The Expectant Couple

Future pictures will be monthly updates of Dawn’s growing tummy. Her due date is Oct. 5th (we’re hoping she’ll hold out until Steve’s birthday of Oct. 8th)!

Please refer to us as Grandpa & Grand-mar (and of course Great UncleLar)!

Mr. & Mrs. Brian Bergquist


Their first intro as Mr & Mrs:

Andrea’s Bachelorette Party!



Saturday night was Andrea’s bachelorette party. I was invited for the dinner and personal shower, then excused myself when the serious partying began! Andrea’s in blue in the center of the first picture. Her sister, Heather, is the blonde in black in the second picture. You’ll never guess what we were watching (and I’ll never tell…family blog!)

Brian and Andrea’s new condo



Brian and Andrea just closed on their new condo in Wrigleyville…it is really sharp!

Missing

I’m here. Sorry. I really only check the blog at best once a week on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Nick ties up the computer most of the rest of the time. I hope to be setting up a home office in the near future and should be on more often. I think I need to get a digital camera so I can participate in some of the mundane.

Anyway, Chris is now off to college. Started at ISU this past Tuesday. We drove him there on Friday 1/13. He is staying in Hamilton Hall. Man, I forgot how small a dorm room can be.

Yes, Larry I am jeolous of your little golf weekend. Looks like fun. I’m looking forward to the end of March whh I have plans on going to Mesquite, NV for a week with a group from my golf league. Anyone care to join me?

More Halloween Moments

Natalie was exactly four and a half that Halloween. As cool as trick or treating was growing up in Chalfont, the block we lived on in SLC was a kid’s dream come true.
60 houses in a 2 block area…all lit up and well stocked with goodies. The kids made a huge haul in under an hour. But Larry ate most of it.

There is a Kenny Fall!!!

So good to hear from you! Where have you been? Don’t shy away again!
You must have tidbits of mundane info (and many pictures) to post here…please give us some!
