Sarah
Hibl ('04) and Marc Postiglione, pictured above with their
wedding party, were married on April 18th at St. Peter's Church
in Washington, Virginia, surrounded by as many family and
friends as the church could hold. After the most perfect wedding
imaginable, the couple headed to New Jersey where Marc is
teaching at Union County College and Sarah is adjusting to
city life.
This
picture from the March for Life was taken by Maria Bissex.
It looks like graces are just pouring down on the Christendom
students leading the March! Maria is continuing to enjoy teaching
music and spreading the love through photo albums. If you
have an overwhelming amount of photos stored away in shoeboxes
or hard drives, she'd love to help you get them organized
and into albums! Check out her website http://www.mycmsite.com/mariavbissex
for neat products and upcoming events.
Dominick
and Ashley Severance ('08 & '07) would like to announce
the birth of their baby girl, Madeleine Isabelle Severance,
pictured on the right, on March 28! Mother and baby are doing
well!
Jeremiah and Jennifer (Knopf) Tutwiler ('97& '00)
are living a crazy busy life in Northern Indiana! In a nutshell:
we own a business,
have four children (ages 7mos. - 6 years), are homeschooling,
and Jen is a children's
book author as well. We are certifiably insane, but loving
life! Anyone headed to the Chicago area, be sure to stop by
for a visit! Jen's email: jennifer@newmarkstudiosonline.com
Anne-Marie
Jensen ('05) would like to update her fellow alumni with
this bit of news: she is currently experiencing her first
week in the Big Apple! She recently switched jobs and is now
working in a post open heart intensive care unit in Manhattan.
She is renting an apartment (and is a little bit in love with
it!) on the Upper East Side. Katherine Quest ('05) is
joining her to be a partner in crime as of May 15! They plan
on having an exciting summer filled with many visitors!! Everyone
is welcome (well maybe not at the same time) but if you're
going to be in the area, be sure to get in touch!
The
Bodoh family gathered for a reunion in Nashville on the occasion

Isaiah
Paul Jalsevac, the first-born son of John and Cassidy Jalsevac
('08) was born on Saturday, May 2 at 11:17 pm, weighing
8.5 lbs. The couple was pleased that their son was born just
before midnight on the wedding day of his godparents-to-be,
Sam and Katie Phillips. You can find all sorts of photos at:

Katy
(Jenkins) Hochschild '05 and her husband Adam welcomed
their second son, Isidore Steven Irenaeus Hochschild, into
the family on December 15th. He was 10 lb. 6 oz., 22 in. long,
and born at home! Isidore is now nearly 5 months old, and
their firstborn Maxwell is 2 years, 8 months. Also, Adam was
officially made partner at his law firm, Husch Blackwell Sanders,
this past January. The two young Hoschild's are pictured on
the right.
Pat
and Laura Scanlon (both '03) are happy to announce (belatedly)
the arrival of their firstborn, Felicity Teresa. Felicity,
pictured on the left, was born January 9, 2009 and is now
a happy, chubby almost four-month old who brings much joy
to her parents, her grandparents, and her many aunts and uncles.
