Tonight is going to be a short post.
I want to share Erika’s Fantastic news. We found out today she got an internship for Hewitt-Packard in Palo Alto. As a result of this I wil be going with Erika to California to live there for the summer. I am so excited about this news and I so so so proud her accomplishment. Additionally, is that I started in California with my current company, so I can continue to work with the same company. Today is a great day. I wish I could fully explain my happiness.
Excluding the good news today was a good day. I got to play a wheelchair game and I felt so free. What a nice feeling to feel free.
My time is coming here is ending quickly and I am getting a nervous. But with today news I feel like life will go on and I think I can do it.
I will have more tomorrow. Tonight we are celebrating. You all out in Internet land should find something to celebrate too. It makes us all feeel good.
Happy hump-day.

Very cool Joel!
That is so exciting for both of you! Tell Erika congrats for me, and it’s also so nice to hear that your company is working with this. Sounds like things are falling into place. Something you both so deserve right now.
Anyway, it was great to see you this weekend. You are obviously working really hard there at Craig and I know that you will do awesome once you are done there. Thanks for the visit, and I miss you tons.

Joel,
That is fantastic news. I am so happy for you. Sometimes things just fall into place or is it some cosmic justice. Much much love, Janis

Isn’t it wonderful the way the Lord can work in your life! Just remember that He is always with you and has blessed you in many ways.
My favorite passage is Proverbs 3: 5,6
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own uderstanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”.
You and Erika are certainly BLESSED!

Terrific news for both of you! Erika didn’t mention that you would be able to go there too when I talked with her last night. AWESOME! What a team! Alaska kayaking will have to wait.
ROCK n’ ROLL YOU TWO!!

That’s awesome news! I’m psyched you and Erika are coming back out to the Bay Area. (I guess you were destined for more time here after your brief stint in the South Bay.)
As you know there are many things to see and do out here and I’ll be happy to show you guys around when you arrive. Keep me posted and give my best to your gal.
Peace,
Eric

Congratulations Erika and Joel,
Erika, awesome job on the internship. I’m sure you’ll have a great learning experience with this company. Joel, I can’t tell you how proud I am of you through your whole stay in Craig…I love reading your updates and am impressed with each new accomplishment. You guys are going to have a great time in California… and I’m still waiting for a visit in Boston. Do you know how much booze is in this city???

Geez, Joel…
I go to AZ for a week and miss all the news. (When you stay in a senior community with your 87-year-old Mom, computers are hard to come by.)
Congrats to Erika! What a great change to look forward to for both of you. When do you leave? Do you go home to AZ first? I guess I can wait for the answers until I see you.
I have never met anyone with a more positive attitude than you possess. You’re an inspiration.
Flying by the seat of your pants has always been my approach to life as well. If you learn any great tricks for planning, let me know.
See you soon. Love from Lee et al.

Joel: Great to hear of the job news. I have tried to call several times to set a time to take you to lunch. Give me a couple of options for next week and I’ll call to confirm a date. Sounds like you like those outside meals. I’ll bring the Cranio/Sacral book and share some appropriate info.
