Questions of the day? How did the artist series go with the sock? Did Mr. Goofus leave his dirty little Hanes to himself? How was the hockey game with the "other" guy? Was there any paparazzi action going on or did you get to enjoy yourself without the crowd watching your every move? Huh, huh, huh, tell us . . . pllleeeasssee!! You didn't think you could get away from the fam without an explanation did you? So, that's all I had--anyone else care to add to this?

GAG!!!
Can you all hear the inevitable gag that follows this scene? Sometimes Jonas pretends to do the grandma gag at night when he brushes his tongue. It's funny.

HHAAAAAAALLLLOOOOOOOOWWW! My name is Mark Daniel Brumbaugh. You are my family. Prrrrreparrre to post! (what movie do you think I was quoting, hmmmm?) I know you are all busy will kids, jobs, school work, late school work, Mr. Goofus, etc. . . So I guess i will post something for you to read and peep at. Here is my beautiful wife and 7 pounder right now :0 :I :( Could be rough in a few weeks if that little guy becomes a big Brumbaugh. The doc said that they would like to do another ultrasound at 39 wks. to see if they should take him early because of his size. We will see what develops. Mom and dad are going to be able to come visit after Thanksgiving. I am so glad they will be able to see Titus. I wish you all could come down for a week. It would sure be tight in our place but FUN too!
Amydoo,
How was that artist series? Did Mr. Goofus keep his hanes off you? If not I could call and give him a good mending. Well enough punning and wit. How is school shaping up? A good semester or one you won't really remember well? I am praying for you. Have a great day!
Justin,
Are you popping the Vit. C? Lots of water? Getting rest? Okay, okay, I know its college and that is unreasonable. Are you at least thinking about doing those things and getting better? How did that Shakespere (sp?) test go? Can you quote Hamlet now? jkiddin' I love you Just.
Beth and Jason,
How is the job? Does it make it easier to function now that you have some kind of fixed routine that is totally different than 3rd shift. Jason, how long did it take you to switch back to days--one, two, three, days? I am glad to have you all as friends and family too. Love you all--tell Jonas and Ella that Uncle Mark Dan and Auntie Annie say hi and we love them.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!! I'm sitting in the coffee shop with beautiful music playing and a incredible aroma in the air enjoying thoughts of my precious family. So a few funny things for ya'll. I was getting out of a car on Thursday night right in front of the Rec. Hall full of people (because it's really cold now). As I was exiting the car my shirt decided it would stay in the car. Somehow it had attached itself to the lever that pulls the seat back. It was pretty much the most embarrassing thing that has happened to me in a while. --- So the Student body officers are David Broughton, Edward Estes, and Jeff Tuttle -aka- "The Three Men". They are doing an amazing job with activities and putting so much thought and preparation into each aspect of their position. For example the last chapel they made a video of a campus service worker cleaning in the Founders room and dusting the pictures of all the couples on the wall. Patz, Ollila... Well, all the sudden as he was feather dusting the picture of Dr. Patz and his wife somehow he ripped the picture in two. The worker was devistated and he didn't know what to do. Then all the sudden Dr. Ollila appears and says "It's ok. Everything is fine. You didn't mean to do it." Dr. Ollila then picked up the picture and realized that there was something on the back. (A Message) He began to get excited and started to explain to the worker that this was a good find, and that there was an old legend at Northland about there being a hidden treasure somewhere on Campus and there were clues hidden in different locations. The movie ended and David ran up on stage and said, "This is for real and the search begins NOW!". And with that Chapel was dismissed. ---The clues were hard and the whole campus was searching for the $200 gift card to walmart. It was so funny! Some of the staff were getting way too involved. ---Another funny thing, one of the officers has a sock puppet that they do movies on as well. I know it kind of sounds crazy, but he does a really funny voice and you can't help but laugh all the time. They have done some amazing things with this "Mr. Goofus Hanes" like take him into an actual Greenbay Packers game. He has people on video talking to this sock as if it's a normal person. --I'm telling you all this because of how funny and weird it is and because Mr. Goofus asked me if I would go to the artist Series with him. This means that I'll be on the next student body video going to the artist series with a sock! Segments of the whole evening, Yikes! I'll be escorted by a sock. A sock will give my flowers. I'll have my pictures taken with a sock. -And I'll be known as the girl that Goofus Hanes took to the artist series. --when we're not being taped I'll be able to have a normal fun time with David. I hope! -- I miss you all. I can't wait to see you. Tell Titus tummy I love him already and Lukilye I love shim. Mark and Anne, Beth and Jason, Jonas and Ella- Stay warm and Get a twinkle of hope in your eyes!! "Great Peace have they that love Thy law and nothing shall offend them."--

Amy, are you still running? If so keep it up. I just bought a new pair of running shoes and the chip that syncs with my ipod and updates me through my headphones if I slow down and all that cool jazz. I got a lot of bday money from the other side of the fam :) Justin get a muscle pose and put it on so I can see how you have utilized all your free time...HA Ha ha.....okay not funny huh? I have not done any lifting at all. I am holding steady at a trim 188. I am cut man. Have a great day y'all!
Mark

Thanks aunt Amy and uncle Justin for being so much fun. We appreciate you so much! It's been great to get together over the past few years when you travel back and forth to N-land. Hope you can visit soon!

To clear up al of the missunderstanding about my vacation, I must explain my position as part of the most elite currier service in the world. I am a FedEx employee and I keep the world on time. You see in my position I cannot bend to the holidays of the average worker and must rather sacrifice these benefits for a simple week in January. I am going to take off January 25-February 2 and visit the parents in Tennessee. I know that my presence will be missed of course but the duties and the gravity of my position at FedEx hinders me in relation to the above luxury (vacation to those who might find my conversaton vague). Well, enough deliberation on that subject. I have to do some schoolwork now.
