Sad News

Hi everyone,

My grandfather (dad's side) had a massive stroke at the end of last week. He is completely paralyzed on his left side and unable to talk. The doctors don't expect him to make it through the week. My dad has seven siblings, so a lot of people are about to lose someone...

If you feel so inclined, please say a prayer.

Thank you.

Libby's update

Here goes the Rhett's update: Parker and I are still living in Memphis. He is working for State Farm as an Agency Field Specialist and has an interview Monday to become an Agent! If he becomes an agent, which I have faith that he will, there is a chance that we will move. We are excited about the possibility. It depends on where agencies are available but the places we would love to live are Chattanooga, Nashville, or Huntsville. Memphis would be okay too. So, we will see. I am still teaching 3rd grade and really liking it. My kids are sooo sweet this year which makes it even more fun! We just celebrated our one year anniversary and can't believe it has been that long. We had a great first year and think marriage is the best thing ever. Time flies when you are having fun! As far as starting a family goes, we are not quite ready yet. But, we got a puppy this summer. He is a Springer Spaniel named Scout. We love him and, as all of you who have pets do, treat him like our kid. It is so good to hear all of your updates. I miss all of you and often think of all of the great times we had in college.

This is a picture of us in Chicago.
We went in August and had a great time!

This is our house in Memphis.

Here is Scout.
I mean, don't you just want to kiss him?

Cooper's update

Well, here goes on the Ogg update...things have been really crazy for us over the past 6 months. We are finally settling into our new house in Charlottesville, VA, after finally putting up our school "hats" and getting diplomas. I am working in Richmond as an associate dentist in a practice. I have been there 6 months now and can not believe it has been that long. It was incredibly hard at first, but is getting easier as the bull comes faster. Garrett is busy at work as he does his residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Virginia. We don't see each other that much and that is draining. The mom and pop are doing well. I do expect some visitors very soon or am going to get my feelings hurt. We just returned from a great little getaway in Mexico; much needed renewal for us since we are never together. I will try and send some pics of that but doubt I can figure it out. Love you all much.

Update

This is our dog Harley.


I am not very good with all of the computer stuff because it feels like it takes up too much time. However, I will try to keep everyone updated with what is going on in the Daviss lives. We moved back to Madison a few months ago, and I have never been so glad to get back home. I am still pushing pills (legally), and I love my job too. It is so much better than retail. Patrick and I are ready to start a family so hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later. We do have a dog named Harley, and he is crazy.

Dropping In

It has been fun to see pics and find out what's been happening with many of you. Keep them coming...I would love to see more!

Just dropping in to say hello. I hope all of you got an extra day off for MLK weekend to relax and do fun stuff.

That is a pic of my cousin Sommer and me. It was her 6th birthday this past weekend, and I had the best time entertaining her.

School started last week and things are picking up once again. Life is busy, but life is good. Please keep in touch!

Love,
Anisa

Brewer's update

Well I guess I should do an update on me since I didn't do that already. Michael and I still live in Madison, and probably will for the rest of our lives. We really love it here! I just started a new job at Horne LLP in their marketing department. So far I really like it. It is definitely going to keep me on my toes! Michael is still working for BellSouth (or AT&T since the merger went through). He's been with them for almost 7 years now! Here's a picture of us...not very recent, but you get the idea!

No kids just yet...that would not be very nice of me to start a new job and say "By the way, I'm going to need a couple of months off in about 9 months." Somehow, I just don't think that would go over very well! We are always working on our house and debating if we want to go ahead and move into a bigger one or not. That is almost a daily discussion. I adore our house right now, but I get antsy and want to move, too! Here's a picture of our house:

OK, I said we don't have kids, but we kinda do. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats that we treat like kids. Sometimes I call our house the Phillips Zoo. Below are pictures of them:

This is Rocky. He's 3 years old and he's a Yorkshire Terrier. He's my first baby!

This is Max. He's 2 and he's a Yorkie/Maltese mix. He's crazy!

This is Cat. We are very creative with our cat's names. She is participating in her favorite activity: sleeping.

Finally, this is Gray. She is a stray we adopted from the woods behind our house on Easter in 2005, so this past Easter was her pseudo-first birthday.

Well, that's about it for me right now! Stay in touch!!

Love, Christi

Kassi's Update

I am seriously so excited to see this blog! Brewer, this was a GREAT idea. In keeping with tradition, I will share my update:

I still work at Southern Farm Bureau Life Insurance in Jackson, Miss., as a corporate communicator in the PR department. However, it's also the complaint department, the craft department and the no-where-else-for-this-to-go department. I love my job. No, really, I do!

I am still involved with lots of volunteer organizations. I get made fun of all the time because of my need to volunteer. My co-workers call me a "volunteer-whore." NICE.

I am not married. I am not engaged. I am still single. Yes, I know. I am officially the last of the Jammas left in Single Land. I dated a wonderful guy for a year and half--and still love him dearly--but we've recently broken up based on a mutual decision. I don't know where that will lead me. Ok. Enough depression for one day. Ha.

Like Nee, I am also in grad school, working on my master's degree in corporate communication at Mississippi College. I love school. I always was (and still am) such a dork!

Hope everyone else can figure this out, because I sure want to be able to keep in touch with y'all!


Here's a picture from Hillary's rehearsal dinner. It isn't really a great picture or anything, I just don't want everyone else to post a picture and me not!!

Love you.
