SPI May 2006

Here is the latest from the Glenn's (at least some of us). We are once again the owners of a condo on South Padre Island!! We are not sure if it is a better investment than college tuition, but it sure is a lot more fun. We think Abi and David are a little concerned that we will spend our retirement and have to live with them. Oh well, CARPE DIEM!

Abi, Matthew, Kathy and I spent a long Memorial Day weedend there and it was great. I did a lot of nothing (I think with a little more practice I could get really good at it). Abi and Kathy worked on their yoga, new age dance moves and shopped. I have some concern that I may need to investigate a possible intervention or a 12 step program for their sudoku addiction. How many times can you count to 9 before you go crazy? Matthew got a good dose of the beach (see photos). Dr. Dave was too busy saving lives and practicing the healing arts to get away, and Elias said it was a little too far for a weekend trip. We need to plan some family trips so give us a call. Included are a few sample photos, but the good ones have been edited and omitted by the participants.

From H-town!

Hello from Houston, this is the long awaited Hoffman post. We have been busy: David with residency, me with a little work and several mini trips. We have been on the spring wedding circuit, three so far and more to come. see the pic of us, David has on a tux, he was a groomsman for one of them. (thats the groom in the background)

Our lives have been pretty stressful with Davids schedule and workload, so we are really focusing on the basics...be joyful in all things...trust in the Lord...but besides scripture my favorite quote right now is from a magazine and its perfect for our lives right now...

"You're doing one thing now-living your life. So live it right: Wear sunscreen. Never smoke. Get enough sleep. Exercise four times a week. Always be kind. Never lie. Laugh often. Don't tolerate less than you deserve. Let grudges go. Dream big. Remember that love matters most. Call your mom"
