 **2009:** Hi Classmates from Connie Cook Hudgins  The two most significant changes in my life in the last five years are the marriage of my daughter Carrie to Paul McClinton and moving to Anacortes.  Carrie and Paul met in N.Y.C. where they worked in the same office for two years.  We all (50) gathered in Playa Del Carmen (near Cancun, Mexico) for a week of  celebrating in the small Mayan village. They were married on the beach on a beautiful  sunny day in November, 2007. They relocated in their new home near Green lake in  Seattle.  John and I decided to leave Mill Creek and go north to Anacortes to enjoy a slower life  style and beautiful sunsets. We bought a home in Skyline with a beautiful view of  the boat marina, the San Juans and the Olympic Mountains. We did a major remodel <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> which took over a year to complete but it turned out well for us. We have met many <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> wonderful people here and are happy we made the move. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> We still love cruising on the ships that carry 150 to 1,000 people and we keep returning to the beautiful Caribbean Islands. We are planning another trip thru the Panama canal <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> in September. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Life is good.
