Jeremy Cook's Hole

The First Un-Official House Party

Dave Gundy Writes to me:

Scott, I believe we spoke about this before. On Saturday, Sept. 16th at my house I will be having a Lunch & Learn starting at 11:00 til ????. I will be providing lunch to anyone and everyone who attends. The presentation will feature a 10- minute video, ( 12 Tips to an Easy Retirement), a question and answer session, door prizes for those who sign up and a Grand Prize Drawing that will be revealed at the end of the presentation. What I do need to know is how many people plan to attend. I am trying to give everyone enough time in advance to plan this in their schedule. Could you please forward this to everyone's email address and try to have everyone RSVP who is interested to my email address so I can figure out how many people I am going to have to feed. My email address is: david_gundy@valic.com and my home phone # is (618) 655-3148. Please RSVP by September13th. You can also call my mom's house and let her know if you are attending at 266-5438. Thanks alot Scott and I hope to see everyone there!! David Gundy Retirement Planning Specialist VALIC

Roppa and Tizzy showed up at Schooners last night. Ryan and I stuck around and talked with them. They even played a round of Golden Tee. Anyways.... Roppa told me that McCleod owes him $1250. I just wanted to get that word out to all of my buddies that know Corey. Don't loan him any money because Roppa hasn't seen any repayment for 3 years!!

A funny little note...

On my way to work this morning a little Teal Ford Festivia went zooming by me....The sticker on the back window read "Bad Boyz - Bad Toyz" HUH???

It's been a long time... I have taken part of my work day to make this update. With all of the house work and moving activities, I have lost the time to update my web page. However, do not fear! I will find time soon to provide you with pictures and news in the near future. The bedroom furniture is in and soon I will go get the rest of my stuff from my parents house. I have been staying at the house and my dresser has been a monitor box! I have pictures of the house when we bought it as well as new pictures that include the thingst that we have done to the house, including furniture.

Oh yeah, I also have pictures of the hole that Jeremy Cook put in my garage ceiling from the attic. What a bone head!! The best part is that he didn't tell me and then left the house. He is willing to help fix it though, so I will look past his mistake!

I have setup the WEEK Pick'em football challenge. Below is the message that I sent. If you didn't get it, you are still welcome to sign up.

House work is going great. I enjoy it and it is really easy!! I can't wait until I move in! Sorry I haven't got any pictures up lately. I haven't even sat in front of my computer for a week! I think that I am having withdrawl! This weekend is Ryan and Eric's birthday. For details about the plans, check the forum.

Sorry I don't have more to say, I just have been working on the house! The forum has some good new information...

Dave Gundy Writes:
Scott, [clip] I want to try and schedule a presentation at my house next time I am at home for anyone who is interested in investments. I will provide the lunch, refreshments and of course, BEER. Yes, beer at my house. If you could see how many people would be interested by either emailing everyone or publishing this on your website that would be great. It will be the end of August or early September. Also, our high school reunion should be posted on your website so everyone knows. [clip] Thanks, Dave

Sounds good to me - I would be interested in seeing what he has to say. Let him know. His e-mail address is david_gundy@valic.com (that is an underline between david and gundy). And by the way, if you haven't heard the class reunion is scheduled for September 16th. You all should receive invitations. If you don't you can get a hold of me for details.

The house is ours!! So big deal that my life belongs to Harris Trust and Savings. We have a place to call home. Everything went very smooth. On Tuesday we closed at 9:00 AM and it only took 35 minutes! We have been shopping for house things as well as unpacked some things. I think I will officially move in on the weekend of the 18th. Mark your calander, I would really appreciate the help and I am sure that you all would appreciate the free beer!

I got some pictures up - not of the house yet but those are soon to come.
Here is the couch and fabrics that we picked out. They should be in by September.

I got the digital camera on Friday! Yes, I love it. I carry it around like it is my baby. I have taken lots of photos already. Hopefully I can get some of them up on the web soon. Now all I need is a really nice printer....

Couples Night was a big hit!! I think that every one had a good time. The service wasn't the best, but that may be expected when you have a party of 14. After we ate at the River Station, we went to my parents house and played Pictionary. The teams were Guys vs. Girls, and as expected... The guys won! I hope that there will be a rematch soon! Attending couples were: Angela and I, Matt and Jen, Shaun and Jen, Mike and Crystal, Jeremy and Shannon, Chad and Sarah, and Pat and Jessica. Maybe next time we will get more couples. Give me your input on the forum.

The month is coming to a close. The opinion of the people who voted say that there should be a house party in late August. I would probably expect one then. However - A new month means a new Vote! I would really appreciate some input on a vote topic. So send me your requests!

Angela and I went to Good's Furniture on Saturday to look for living room furniture. And we have finally found a couch that we both like as well as matching fabric for the chairs! We were both so glad to finally find something that we both liked! I took some pictures of the couch and the fabrics and will put them up here soon. And Yes - We did see Mary, and Yes - we did eat in the wine cellar, and Yes - we did walk on the sky walk, and Yes - we did ride in the glass elevator, and No - we didn't bang Mary in the glass elevator!!

My Sister Sarah, will be home on August 5th to celebrate her 21st birthday. She would like Angela, Me and my friends to take her out and show her a good time! I am sure that we will!! I love 21st birthday celebrations!! :)

Jen Jackson found my page through www.highschoolalumni.com. She send me a nice e-mail which included information about a class reunion. She received a letter that stated a 5 year reunion would be held in September. It would be cool to see more people signed up at www.highschoolalumni.com. (HINT, HINT)

"I'm coming [home] Thursday August 17th to Saturday August 26th, I would appreciate it if you could find me a ride, don't care who it is that can pick me up!!!! I believe I come into Midway Airport around NOON on the 17th!!!"

Everything is still on schedule for the house! I ordered a digital camera today from BUY.com. I got the Kodak DC290! (by the way, I got it for $188 cheaper than Best Buy and shipping was only $7) So expect tons of pictures (before and after) of the house!!

A & I Supply's new website is finally complete! I have spent tons of time on it! Check it out. It is a fully e-commerce site. They are already averaging 5 orders per day off of the internet!!

Don't forget to put your vote in on the home page. It should be an interesting one! And don't forget that their will be a new poll every month.

Lack of news can be attributed to the fact that the new house has kept Angela and I extremely busy! We have found a bedroom set, picked out carpet, bought a comforter, and wallpaper border. Most of it is really fun. There are some times when it gets a little rough with differences of opinion.
