Happy Birthday Sista Sue!!!
"You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them". ~Desmond Tutu"What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories." ~George Eliot
"The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts (i.e. Freihoffer's chocolate sheet cake w/ white icing on 7th St. (one piece for you....one piece for me...) and Rum Cake at Lake George), hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending (i.e. keeping Uncle Bill engaged in conversation as Sista/Cuz MB crawled out the door to escape the grounding sentence), and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together". ~Erma Bombeck
Hope this is your happiest birthday ever...and only the beginning of a wonderful year that brings you a fraction of the happiness and LOVE that we have felt from you....growing up and still...We LOVE YOU!!!
Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Cowboy Devin!!!“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Jack KerouacHope you Birthday is wonderful.....and that your phone dries out so you can hear our B'day serenade.
We LOVE you...BUNCHES!!!

Devin: SU Newhouse Alumni of the Month
Devin was named the Syracuse University Newhouse School Alumni of the Month for September...realized i never posted it here so thought i'd correct it now to let everyone know! A very proud moment!
Devin Mahoney - Television, Radio and Film '04
Devin Mahoney has the ultimate job perk. He gets to work with the minds behind the Emmy-nominated comedy series, “Scrubs.”
Mahoney, a Television, Radio and Film graduate, has worked for the past two years as a Writer’s Assistant on the popular sitcom, “Scrubs,” which follows the lives of several young medical interns as they hilariously navigate their way through the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital.
“I’ve gotten to know all the stars,” he said. “Everyone is so fun and down to earth. It’s a ball.” These celebrities also include the show’s creator, Bill Lawrence, an acclaimed television writer who’s also written for such shows as “Friends” and “Spin City.”
After graduating from Newhouse in 2004, Mahoney, 27, immediately headed out to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of television and film writing and rather quickly discovered a recipe for success.
“I kind of just took my resume and faxed it to every show on TV, and then called them until they gave me an interview,” he said. “I kind of just talked my way into it.”
After working briefly for the Spike Network’s “Most Extreme Elimination Challenge,” Mahoney eventually got the call from “Scrubs,” where he now works as a Writer’s Assistant, attending the show’s regular writers’ meetings and keeping track of all the ideas tossed around.
“The thing about the writers is that most of the time they don’t actually do any of their own typing,” Mahoney said. “I pretty much sit in the writers’ room and take everything in. I take down stories, joke pitches and make sure the good stuff doesn’t go away.”
He also has the added perk of working alongside fellow Newhouse TRF Master’s alumni Ryan Kemp (’05) and Brian Davison (’05) at “Scrubs.”
“It’s kind of a Newhouse breeding ground,” Mahoney said.
Mahoney credits some of his success to the TRF program at Newhouse and particularly its faculty.
“You learn by doing in the TV business, so it’s hard to teach,” Mahoney said. “But they give you the background and teach you how the business works so when you get here you kind of understand what’s going on.”
He noted that several of his teachers in the TRF program are especially well-aware of the tools students need before getting into the real world of television and film.
“Prof. (Andrea) Asimow, she’s still involved in the business, so it was kind of fun to learn from someone doing it right now,” Mahoney said of the film business teacher. “She loved sharing her knowledge with the class.”
Michael Schoonmaker, chair of the TRF department and professor of television writing and production, was also one of Mahoney’s favorites.
“He was great because he let us make a silly movie about a hot dog vendor and a stripper, and we got a grade for it,” Mahoney said. “He gave us the stuff and let us go and figure it out on our own.”
Even though he’s only being paid to write down other people’s ideas right now, Mahoney is still working on his dream job of writing his own shows and films, a task which the Newhouse program gave him plenty of practice with.
Writing with another Newhouse alumnus, C. Rego Marquiis (’04), who also moved to Los Angeles shortly after graduating, Mahoney continues to flex his own creative muscle writing spec scripts, features and original pilots.
“We’re just trying to get our ducks in a row, get real jobs and get rich and famous, preferably rich,” he said.
For now though, Mahoney’s content just getting to absorb the techniques and ideas of those behind the critically acclaimed “Scrubs.”
“It’s the working man’s version of sitting in a comedy club all day,” he said. “You sit there and listen to people who are the best in the biz and you can’t really beat that.”

Just because we didn't take any pictures, doesn't mean that we didn't have a GREAT time!
After not having our parents together since our wedding (which amazingly, was a year and a half ago - jeeez does time fly), The Leonard's and the Zimmerman's celebrated a slightly belated Christmas together in Los Angeles and had a wonderful reunion. With neither set of parents having seen our semi-furnished apartment, we were thrilled by their excitement (and maybe surprise?) at how put together everything looked (and you didn't think we would grow up!). With a packed schedule we cooked, exchanged gifts, played the best game ever, dined at KOI, went to 'tea' that Kevin hated, shopped, watched an ok movie in an amazing house (with a private screening room), ate out in Culver City, enjoyed a GREAT football game with cousin Erin, Chris, Gary, AZ, and yummy pizza, shared the best stories about our past and laughed, and laughed and laughed! It was such a wonderful trip and we miss everyone already (kinda...KIDDING of course!) and we can't wait to do it again.
Happy 2008 to everyone.
May this year be filled with only good things!
Love and kisses,
Rachel & Kevin
