Next week for Spring Break I will be headed down to New Orleans with a group of Students from BBHS and surrounding Catholic High schools to rebuild houses throughout the New Orleans area. I am really excited and hope that we all have a safe and enriching experience. Hopefully I will have time to keep a journal of everything we encounter and blog about it upon my return!
Luckily, my pals from work got me a really cool tool belt to use when I am down there- a must have for any home building extravaganza!
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we embark on this journey together!

Updates
We took a mini road trip to Oregon... Hood River, Eugene and Forest Grove- such a great weekend! Went to Full Sail, went on a wine tour, saw good friends, saw some good nature stuff- went to a dam- it rained a lot but it was such a great get-a-way!
Nick continued to grow the "who dat" stache Thankfully for Nick (and me), the Saints won the
Superbowl- so the stache was shaved. Although he did rock the creepy mustache man look pretty well.
Mom and Dad celebrated 35 years of wedded bliss:) Jan 25
Also-
Nick starts student teaching next week
Cheer is finally over so I have my evenings back!
I am really excited about my Spring Break mission trip to NOLA with BBHS kids
Nick learned how to Skype yesterday and did so with his brother in Louisiana... could be the start of a whole new activity for him!
All is good in the Meaux house!

Catching Up
Phew its been a while...I'll work backwards!
December 26th after Christmas with my family we headed down to Louisiana. The photo above is the whole Meaux family- first time since our wedding three and a half years ago we have all been in the same place, at the same time!
Nick and I went to the Saints game (a sad loss) with the siblings and cousins. It was so much fun to be in Who Dat nation!
We spent New Year's in New Orleans with Nick's brothers and my sister flew down an celebrated the New Year with us too! What a city!
Ms. Milne (my sister) is the bst 4th grade teacher ever. She told her students (she only has 14) that if the brought in 500 cans for their schools food drive, the school goal was 2000, she would let them all throw a pie in her face. Needless to say, her class of 14 brought in 520 cans (1/4 of the entire schools goal!) and so she had pie day... of course Nick and I went to watch.
Halloween was fun- we went to an range and black party so we didn't have to come up with costumes- but Homer asked to be a devil, so we let him.
We hosted the First Annual Race for Lois in Bellingham. We did the race in honor of our grandma who passed away in October. We were able to donate $1000.00 to Whatcom County Hospice, thanks to all those who participated!!!
We were able to hit up the last few games of the Seahawks season... a little disappointing- bu fun nonetheless!
Thats a brief synopsis of what's been going on with us.... more to come in the near future!

Forever in Our Hearts
Grandma Lois, you will be missed. You are the best grandma a girl could ask for. Cheers to you and Grandpa Leroy- save a place at happy hour for us :)
Lois M. Flammang Lois M. Flammang, 80, of Bellingham, died Friday, October 2, 2009 at her home surrounded by family and loved ones. Lois was born August 8, 1929 to Daniel and Avis Mulvihill, in Minot, ND, where she graduated from Minot High School. She married shortly thereafter, and gave birth to son Daniel (1948), and daughter Mary (1950). She and husband LeRoy moved to Whitefish, MT where their daughter Roxanne (1952) was born. The family moved to TX in 1960 where LeRoy was employed by the US Border Patrol. In 1963, the family moved to Blaine, WA. After LeRoy's retirement in 1980, they spent much of their time traveling. They began the snowbird lifestyle, spending winters in CA and AZ, and summers in Whatcom county. They finally settled in Casa Grande, AZ for their permanent winter home. After LeRoy passed away in 2000, she continued to travel, going on cruises and road trips. This year, she met and fell in love with Chuck Schwarzenbacher, to whom she was engaged. In July, she became ill with cancer. Lois is survived by her son, Dan Flammang and wife Judi Joyner, of Blaine, daughter Mary Huntley and husband Bob Stevens of VT, and daughter Roxanne Milne and husband Mike Milne of Seattle, WA. She is slso survived by granddaughters Natalya Maybo, of MA, Caroline Milne of Seattle, and Laura and husband Nicholas Meaux of Seattle, and fiancé Chuck Schwarzenbacher, of WI. She was pre-deceased by her parents, Dan and Avis Mulvihill, brothers Frank and George Mulvihill, and husband LeRoy P. Flammang. The family wishes to thank all the caregivers who helped her during her illness, including the staff at Ferndale Family Medical Center, the staff at Peace Health, the wonderful people from Whatcom Hospice, the family friends who provided food and support, and especially to her friend and neighbor, Elizabeth Suel, who gave so much of her time and energy to comfort and care for Lois and her family. She is an angel on earth. A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Anne Catholic Church at 604 H St, in Blaine, at 11:00 Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Hospice House, or the Diabetes Society.
