Life and Such

Where to begin? Well, Hollice and I went to my family reunion last Saturday. I was very proud of my family. This was their first time meeting Hollice. Let me explain. My family is from two very little towns in North Carolina. They were raised a little differently. I was worried that they would be rude or mean to Hollice. But everyone was very nice. Hollice said he's never gotten that many hugs at one time before. I was so relieved. It was a long day, though. We got up at 430 am to drive to Durham and then left about 430 pm to go back home.
On a weird note, I found out that I'm adopted. Well, sorta. My mom had me really young and her and my grandparents were afraid that my real dad was going to steal me and take me to Germany. (His family was army and they were being transferred) So, in order to protect me, my grandparents adopted me. Not only for that reason, but to help my mom. She was still in high school and this gave them a chance to put me on their insurance and help pay for stuff. It's kinda odd. I mean, I don't care. I think it's really great that they would do that. But I'm an strange person who thinks strange things. Like, legally, my mom is also my sister. And my brother's are not only my brother's but my nephews. Wow. We really are from the south!
Anyway, the wedding plans are going smoothly. Only two more weeks!! We still have not found a place to live. We are looking hard, but nothing yet.
Oh, yeah. I got locked inside my car the other day. I know, I know. Only me. My window came off track and was upside down. And my driver's side door wouldn't open. I took it to the dealership today and they fixed it. Thank goodness. It's very annoying to get in and out the passenger side.

I will leave you with a pic of Hollice and my grandmother/mom.

Condo's and Flat tires

Wow. It's been a really long time since I wrote anything. Let's see...where to start? We found a condo. It is so perfect. 2 stories, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. It's just what we've been looking for. We had an appointment to meet with the renters. I had just gotten on 664 when my tire blew. I was so upset. I had to leave her a message telling her that I needed to reschedule because I was stuck on the side of the road. She hasn't called me back yet. I am so disappointed. Hopefully she will call me back.

This weekend we went to my manager's wedding. It was so beautiful but HOT! She had the wedding and reception at the Mariner's Museum.
The wedding was outside and there was no breeze.


This is picture of us at my house before the wedding. We had a lot of fun. It did get kind of annoying though. Everyone kept asking us "You're next. You nervous yet?" or " Are you taking notes?" We got so irritated when they wouldn't stop.

Hollice's aunt is going to make our wedding cake which is such a blessing!! She's only going to charge us $200!! That is so awesome.





This is me and Nicolas at Noah's surprise birthday party. It was so cute. Anyway, I think that's it for now! The countdown is on!!! Only a few more weeks until W day!!!!
