Well, it got me thinking of what my class notes update might look like, you know, other than the obligatory "I birthed a baby....again!" Of course, mine don't go to the Notre Dame Magazine, I decided to spend my collegiate years in universities that were both much warmer and have magazines much less offensive to my Catholic sensibilities--mostly because they don't purport to actually be Catholic :)

I'm thinking something along the lines of this............
Cristina (Kazleman) Reintjes '05 left her position as wife of a law school student to move up to the more prestigious position of wife of a Navy JAG. She looks forward to the challenges this new role offers and the opportunity to see the world and occasionally her husband. Cristina was awarded the distinction of "Best Mom In the World" by her precious middle-born son, however the title was quickly rescinded by her generally crankier first-born and replaced with "Worst Mom Ever" for "ruining all my fun." Cristina has published literally dozens of blog posts that are not all that interesting or thought provoking however three out of four sets of grandparents agree that they "really enjoy seeing so many pictures of their grandchildren" but "could really do without all of those distracting blog link ups."
I don't know.....too wordy? I'd hate to look like I was tooting my own horn. Maybe I'll just wait for the next birth announcement instead.......

This is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteEh....I sent in some updates several times. They never got published. Either the class secretary is lazy or I really just didn't do anything cool enough. I only read the Class Notes section....what was the anti-Catholic stuff they published? Miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteOh now I've put my foot in it because I can't back myself with actual titles of articles since we don't keep the back issues :) They don't publish anti-Catholic stuff--mostly it's just inaccuracies about Church teachings within the different essays with no corrections mentioned anywhere, except maybe in letters to the editor of subsequent issues. It irks me mostly because it's the magazine of a Catholic school so regardless of what the editors believe or are trying to accomplish, they have a responsibility to not misrepresent the faith.
DeleteI'm not related, but I "really enjoy seeing so many pictures of your children", who are definitely the cutest set of boys ever, AND I like the "distracting blog linkups" AND I think your blog posts are interesting enough to be happy every time I see you've got a new post. So there!
ReplyDeleteYou really are too sweet!
DeleteI love to read your posts. You write so well. They're always enjoyable and the pictures are great!
ReplyDeleteI still need you to sit down with me without any children around and give me a crash course on taking my camera off auto.....that should be easy with all of our free time to travel and visit without distractions :)
