OK, quickie roll call on what everyone is up to...

Location: St. Paul, Minn.

Married?: Yes, to Abby (for 6 years now!)

Kids?: Yep--Lexi is a year old now. We've also got two dogs--Speak and Mazie, which are sort of like children. Except we lock them up at night. So not really.

Work: Doing freelance writing and editing with my company, Monkey Outta Nowhere, for various clients, including Church Marketing Sucks.

Church: Attending Messiah Episcopal Church (real wine for communion!).

Activities: We officially have no social life. You try doing something with a baby. We are in the midst of trying to sell our house. Doesn't really help with the lack of a social life.

Location: Chicago

Married?: No. Now accepting applications!

Kids?: No

Work: Full time graduate student - Finishing June 07
Then joining a management consulting firm in Detroit

Church: Willow Creek when in Chicago, Northridge when in Detroit.

Activities: Skiing, mountain biking, leading small groups, mentoring small group leaders, taking naps (its good to be a student again), wasting time on facebook and myspace.

Location: Minneapolis/St.Paul, Minnesota -- yep only a few minutes from Kevin, Abby, and Lexi, but unfortunately that doesn't mean we connect very often in person.

Married?: No. Dating? Yes. I'm officially in my first real relationship. It's been just about 5 months now and it's going great!

Kids?: No, but I do have a nice roommate. Oh, and my baby brother Zachary, yeah, he's now a sophomore in high school and is over 6 feet tall!!

Work: Disc Jockey and Dance Instructor
Yep, sounds like a fun job and it is! I did not go to school for it and never thought it's where I would end up but it's been a great fit. I work for Adagio Entertainment as a DJ and also as the Sales and Marketing Manager. I DJ almost every weekend in the summer and I am part-time in the office during the week. You can check out my headshot and bio on Adagio's website: www.adagioinc.com/djays.cfm

I also am in the process of starting my own dance business: Pazaz Dance. I have been teaching regular weekly lessons in various forms of partnered swing dance for the past 3 years. I also host monthly swing dances and soul parties. I am in the process of getting a website going for my growing company at: www.pazazdance.com Not much is there yet, but I'll let you know when the finished site launches.

Church: I've been a member at Bethlehem Baptist with pastor John Piper in Minneapolis for the past 8 years. However, recently I've been more regularly attending The Salvage Yard, partly because they have a Tuesday night service. (Sunday morning services can be difficult to stay focused for when I'm working til 2 or so the night before. ;)

Activities: Dance! Most of my free time is taken up with dance classes, events, or social dances. I also enjoy cooking, swimming, throwing themed parties, and watching movies.

I suppose I should have put "Married/Dating/Single & Proud?:" Oh well. You guys get the drift.

And yes, Krista does put on some killer themed parties. I've yet to be able to go to one, but just reading about them sounds fun. My favorite was the Christian Regression party. Started off with full dress code requirements and went backsliding from there. Hilarious.

We should get together again, Krista. My aforementioned lack of a social life is to blame there.

Oh, and I almost forgot--Krista has a boyfriend, Krista has a boyfriend, Krista has a boyfriend!

;-) (sorry--what did I say about no social life? Hmm... maybe it's not Lexi's fault)

Here's an update from Matt White:

I am currently working as the District Technical Coordinator for Mad River Local Schools in Riverside, OH. (If you've ever been to the Air Force Museum in Dayton we're across the street - I can see it out my window!) Our website is http://www.madriverschools.org.

I've been a member of the First Baptist Church of Kettering, OH since leaving ULBC. I've been playing trombone in the "orchestra" (really it's a small band with a few violins!) for the past 13 years every Sunday morning, as well as taking a very active role on the church's Media Team which is responsible for running the projection screens during all services. We are also building a new church building on 75 acres of land in Sugarcreek, OH, which is due to open in April of this year. (I am the tech person on the building committee on this project as well!)

I graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Wright State University in 2003 after going to school part-time for seven years while working full time for Mad River. It took a really long time and seems to go on and on for forever, but I finally made it and graduated.

A few years ago I bought a house in Kettering where I live with my roommate, a white 14lb Giant Flemish rabbit named Moose. He and I get along really well as long as I have lots of kale on hand at all times! :)

Thanks for including me in the group of ULBC alums - it's hard to believe that I've been away from Michigan for as long as I have!

Location - Commerce

Married - yes. July will be three amazing years.

Kids- Not yet....

Work- I'm the director of the daycare at our church. I've been there from the beginning, three years this month. :) Ben works as a sales consultant for Staples.

Church- First Baptist of Wixom

We don't have a very exciting social life, we work a lot and in our "free time" Ben drags me kicking and screaming to the gym to work out. :) We love to travel, our "hobby" is just to save money for our next big trip.

The main person I keep in contact with from ULBC is Nicole (Franz) Radtke. She and her husband are living in Scotland, I'm sure she would love to hear from many of you. I have her contact info if anyone is interested...If you don't already have it. :)

My wife Stephanie and I have been married a year and a half now. Yea wow, that's a long time. It's GREAT to be married. We have our first oops (baby) on the way, we have four months to go. We find out the sex of the kid on Monday.

Right now we live on an island, that's a 45 minute ferry ride from the coast of Washington. I am doing an internship there with a small church where I've started a youth program and I'm also the local Younglife director for the area. Busy days! Praise God we've had half our local Highschool involved in our programs...of course there are only 80 kids in the high school.

We are one step away from being accepted as full-time missionaries with Frontiers, an agency that plants churchs among muslims. So at the end of our internship here we are planning to join an existing work over-seas for a short time, and then go after an unreached people group ourselves. This is our real passion, to sea Muslim born believers and a self propigating church amongst a previously unreached muslim people group. We don't write too much about this on the web, so if you want our newsletter or anything, just send me your address by way of your Myspace Message.

As far as hobbies right now, I don't really work on any classic cars anymore...except for my "94 Ford Exploder. For the last six years I've been doing one form of climbing or another. I'm not all that good but I like it and haven't killed myself yet. Of course I have come close. This summer I am planning two first ascents on a steep wall just south of here, and then I am going to do some alpine climbing for the first time this summer on Mt. Hood and Mt. Raineer. This should be fun, but the training for alpine climbs is really tough.

I am so glad to see everyone, God bless you all. I've missed all of you and sometimes wish that we never grew up. God is good though and I see that all of you are honoring him with your lives and it seems that he is blessing each of you. How cool is that? God is so great I just want to give him a hug right now!

Love you all,
Paul
