Re: Hi!

HI miss Just Salad s000 much! Nothing as good as that up here! I was thinking about you just the other day wondering how things are..and they sound like they are great!!

Ty is getting big! He is 7 (as of Dec. 16th) Missing both his front teeth (so cute) and in 1st grade. ...doing well too! We had a parent/teach Cr conference and she said he is a really good kid, works hard, doing well with his reading and writing and is popular on the play ground ;) Makes a mommy happy.

Ike's business is going well...they just opened up a division in London!...and they have a guy who works overnight and trades Asia stocks...crazy!

Is this a new boyfriend or the one you had while with us?? I will pass on the info to Jeffrey for you. :)

Wow first grade! it seems like yesterday i was babysitting!

i remember he was such a sweet little boy so its no surprise he got praised by his teacher!

Things are really great! I started dating my current boyfriend after I left you guys but we've been together now for 2.5 years...he's really great! nothing like the 2 losers you knew about haha now im just waiting for that engagement ring ;)

So glad to hear about Ike's business! last we spoke you told me he was just starting it and London is a great place to have an office...nice place to visit :)

I can never understand how some of those guys work SO much and the crazy hours! haha

Thanks for passing along the info to Jeffery and say hi to everyone else for me! I go to school near your office so maybe one day I'll stop in once classes start again!

Let me know what days and times you're there!

Are you going to Hunter College?? Pm glad you have a winner instead of a loser boyfriend 0 when it comes to the office it is never consistent! I work there, from JE's house and from home! If you are around and want to stop by, just email first and we can see if I'm there!!

Take care and thanks for checking in :)

yes I'm going to Hunter!

No prob Pll email you about stopping in!

Talk to you soon!

Hi Lesley!

Just wanted to drop a note and say hi! How is everything? How arc Ty and Ike? Not much new going on with me, not marricd or even engaged yet haha but still have a boyfriend. Almost finished with school though so that's exciting!

I never made it to see you at the office but I will try and come at some point while I am still at Hunter.

Please tell everyone I said hello and please tell Jeffrey I said hi too! I passed by our old office the other day and missed you guys!

Best,

[REDACTED]

ok...so weird!! I was just thinking about you last night!! ...and how you watched Ty for us that one time! Ty is so big now...I can't believe it. almost 8 years old (bday Dec. 16) We are all doing well. About to start building a new home in NEw Canaan, CT (stressful!) Pm happy to hear you are almost done with school...are you still working at the nonprofit place? ...and you are young...you don't have to be married yet! Is the boyfriend the same one or do you have a new one? ;) Our office has moved (THANK GOODNESS) We are now at 51st and Lex in a REAL office building. A thousand times better than those apartment offices!

I will let Jeffrey know you say hi and were checking in...Miss you too...things are so very different these days...but all is good here too....take care, Les

Oh wow so glad to hear everything is going so well! Your new office is also near my school so I will still try and stop by some time! let me know the exact address!

I am still interning at the conservancy and I just recently joined a new organization that is just now getting off ofits feet called the Tribcca Trust. Trying to beef up my resume and get as much experience and exposure as possible! I think I will look for an actual job though come January...being a broke 31 year old intern is losing its charm haha Actually let me know if you guys need any help at the new office! I will only have class an hour and a half 2 days a week next semester!

I am still with my boyfriend Boma, it has been almost 3.5 years! I am getting up there in age Les! Pm 31! He needs to make moves soon :)

Anyway please keep in touch and definitely let me know what days your in the office and Pll stop by! I have breaks on Tues and Thurs for 3 hours from 2-5pm

ok, 31...you are working on it...I was married at 33 and very happy about it. But yes, get the thinking on it!

Things sound great for you (well, besides the proposal stuff...it will come) but you are right to get your resume in tip top shape

We are at 575 LEx on th 4th floor, that is 50th and lex (I told you incorrectly in prior email!) We have to announce you or else you can't come up,,,,so if you do come, let me know before hand! would be great to see you! I also get to work from home when Je is away, so double check I'm in first ...i don't want you to come and miss ya!

Take care, Les

Sounds great! I'll try and come by in the next couple weeks! We can talk more then!

great

Hi Lesley!

How are you? Just wanted to say hi and see how things were going! I was never able to stop by and see you and then a new semester started and things became hectic. Not much new going on with me other than I am set to graduate next month and start grad school in the fall :) I'll be up near Hunter often so I will try again and stop by! So what's new with you?! How is everyone at the office and Jeffrey? Please tell him I said hello and hope he is doing well!

HI [REDACTED] Grad School! wow..really! ?? Where and for what?? I'm impressed! All is good with work and home...nothing really new...well, accept that we are building a house (not sure if I told you that?!) It is very exciting but also becoming very stressful...my husband worries everyday and I wish he didn't, but understand why he does! I think it is making him crazy though...tough to run your business and build a house when the customers just don't roll in like they used to! Weekends are filled with sports and watching Ty is a delight!

You still have the same boyfriend I presume??

Thank you! I'm actually impressed too haha! Never thought things would turn out like this but i am glad I got myself together and they did. I'll be staying at Hunter and doing the Master of Science in Urban Affairs, its basically a continuation of what I am doing now. The plan is to attend part time since I have been a full time student for 3 years and need to join the real world. I still have the same boyfriend of almost four years (still no wedding bells) and things are good, a bit stressful since were both looking for full time work but things could be worse :)

• I do remember you mentioned you guys were building a house! That is very exciting and definitely extremely stressful! I have heard that it's not an easy task to take on! Pm sure taking on those stresses does take its toll on a person but once It's over he will have a beautiful new house to recover in :) I would love to see a picture of how big Ty has gotten! Aw he was such a sweet little boy!

• When I have some time this summer (no classes) I will try and come up-town and maybe we can grab lunch!

would be great to see you when you have some time! Proud of you with the schooling...it is so much better to do now when you are young...good luck on the job hunt! I will send you a pic of Ty...I brought him into the city last Thursday for the day! We had such a great time...I took him to our office, to lunch at Bills Burger, the Lego store, FAO Schwartz, To Jeffrey's house to see where I work when JE is in town and then to Dylan's candy store! We took the subway from there and on to GC...I was exhausted!

:) Lesley (PS: I like that you say Ike can 'recover' in his nice new home!...made me laugh!)
