How exciting.. opened up the ole email.. and a note from Cortney!!!

hi uncle stan! how are you doing? things here are going really well. i can't
believe christmas is almost here though!!! i have spent the past few
weekends trying to run around & do christmas shopping, buying a tree,
getting decorations and that kind of stuff. and the time is just flying by!

i will try to work on putting something together about my trip from italy. i
am still waiting on the pictures from my mom (i will swap copies with her
the next time we see each other) so that should help me some on taking notes
of what we did. so i will get on my assignment :)! and get back to you about
it. i don't mind if you put it online - i will just try to make sure i write
it so it all makes sense :).

and i mentioned to my mom that you wanted some of her family genealogy on
her side of the family. thanks for saying that you will add it to your
family genealogy and that you will send me a copy of it when it is done.
that would be great and i would appreciate it. thanks for giving me jon's
address again - it was the one that i had in my address book, i just wanted
to make sure my infor wasn't outdated. how are they doing with the new baby?
it must be such a huge change for them in their lives. are they getting any
sleep at night :)!?! i hope so.

i miss you all and send my love. take care and i will talk to you soon.
love,
cortney

and a second one too.....

hi again :). i just wanted to let you know that i forwarded this message
onto my mom's email so she can know all the specifics you needed on birth
dates & places and names so she will probably be getting in touch with you
about it all. (i also told her on the phone so she knows i emailed her :) ).
and you are right, her maiden name was servedio - i think that is the
correct spelling of it.

i am moving in this weekend - to jeff's. i kind of have already been there
the past two weeks but still need to get all my furniture moved in, which we
plan to do either friday or saturday of this weekend. i am excited about it.

hope all is well and i will talk to you later! please tell everyone hi for
me.
love,
cortney
