Life is good. Never strayed too far from Fridley because being near family just feels right. Found my true love in a lovely woman named Amy Micek. We have a daughter named Anna. We have a simple life and try to be the best people we can be even when it is hard, especially when things are hard.

I know there can be temptation to compare our lives to one another and reunions of this sort can bring out the best and the worst in us...I hope that if any of us feels insecure in the least about our bodies, our jobs or the status of our relationships we can just pause and remember that we are ALL are doing the very best we can and that we all just want to be happy.

Suzy Tomczak getting her front teeth knocked out in a triangular shape from a discus in track. (Not so funny for you, I am sure).

Suzy Tomczak pretending to get into a large garbage can in the hallway and then actually getting stuck and then laughing so hard she really couldn't get out. I think I peed a little on that one.

Suzy Tomczak losing a camera that may have been property of the school and all of us searching high and low for it for a LONG time only to discover it resting on the top shelf of her locker.

Suzy Tomczak falling asleep in the sun and getting REALLY sunburned on one side of her body. She then went out the next day and intentionally burned the other side so she wouldn't look funny.

Thanks for all the laughs, Suzy.
