I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

Solicitation

Okay guys...

This is no ordinary contest (guess how many straws Calvin put down the drain, where Eli hid his toothbrushes, how Jonathan and Jeffrey took another ten years off their parents' lives, or predict how close Joanne is to running out of iron)... to enter you must craft a wedding announcment for me for the local newspaper. Hint: only entries that are humorous, absurd, or mildly scandalous (but clean) will be seriously considered. For examples, see http://hjnews.townnews.com/articles/2009/10/28/milestones/weddings/wed01-10-25-09.txt. Please e-mail entries to laurita33 (at) gmail (dot) com.

Oh - the Em-meister is on this! I've been reading these for more years than I care to admit. I won't let you down.

Michelle said...

How will the winner be notified? Will you be knocking on my door with a giant check?

Joe and Joanne said...

:) Nice. I'm totally in on this. I will be thinking seriously and mail you as soon as possible with my entry.

Laura said...

Emily - I have too. Like, since I've been able to read.

Michelle, if I show up on your door with a check, it will be to bribe you into going to magic mountain with me. I haven't decided on a prize for this particular contest.

I will say that the striking difference between all of the announcements currently on the HJ website and y'alls situation is the VAST difference in education. It's kinda hard to fit in all the universities the two of you have been to.

Email sent.

I love that Becki is spelled with an "i", and that they both have bad teeth!

Michelle said...

If you show up at my door, I will go to Magic Mountain with you. With or without a bribe.
