Yesterday
Happy 4th of July to all my American friends! I hope you are all well!
Yesterday I spent most of the morning at my moms finishing laundry!
...I took a shower over at my moms and my hair turned into a poof ball! So I pulled it back in a pony tail for the first time in months! It actually looked pretty good! And I even put on makeup!!!! WOW!
and then around 2:30 me and Binks headed to the air port to meet Donna (Ray's sister). Ray's mom Donna and his brothers met me and Binky there! Seeing Donna for the first time in 2 years was an experince! It was so nice to see her again! Boy has she changed! She has lost A LOT of weight and her hair is now pretty blonde!
I bearly could tell which one was her when she stepped off the plane! Then she opened her mouth and I knew!
She was so excited to see everyone. The reunion was pretty emotional for us all! Donna cried and cried..
And for the first time.. she got to hold her niece!
Bianca was a good girl for her and let her hold her, without crying! Donna was kinda scared to hold her at first ... she hasn't been around babies much.. but now Binky gots a new best buddy!
Donna brought a lot of gifts back from Korea with her for all of us! Ray and his brothers got Jerseys, I got a pair of silk pants with korean print.. and Bianca got the best gift of all! Bianca got a singing monk doll! It is wearing a disco suit and an eye patch and sings different chants! Bianca loves it! It is soooo funny!
I could only stand so much of Donna's talking last night! She would not shut up! she chated for a good hour to us! Thank god me and Ray were invited to a cook out or we would have gone nuts!
Me and Ray were invited to a cookout at Darci and Jason Oliver's last night.. so we left Binks with grandma and auntie donna. (YES, I know both of their names are donna... kinda confussing).... anyways.....we drove up the bluff for the cookout! It was pouring rain when we got there.. we could bearly see two feet in front of us! Kinda scarey!
but we made it safe! When we got there, Kevin was already there. and everyone was hanging out on Jason's pourch so we joined them. We hung out there for a few good hours just talking about everything.. I got a long well with Darci. This is the first time I really got to talk to her. We have a lot in common. She has a 4 year old boy, named Christian Michael. We got talking about children and out morals and things. Which was nice. She is a lot more family orinatated then the rest of Ray's friends.. which is nice to have someone that cares so much about their child as I do. Darci showed me the scrap book she made for Christian and her wedding album...and we just chatted. We bonded so good! I have a feeling we are going to be great friends! YAY!
She even invited me to Cranberry days fest with her!
Jason and Darci made a huge huge meal for everyone.. Kevin, me and Ray, themselves , Darci's co worker Felica and then Doc (another friend). We had brats, hot dogs, tator tot cassarole, grilled corn on the cob, and chips and dip, and so much more! It was a wonderful meal and I think I ate too much!
yum yum !
Afterwards we all sat around and chatted for a bit more and then played a game of cards. We played a game called "GOLF" which I haven't played in years! It was so much fun! I really had a good time! It was nice just to get out without the baby and chat with people for once! and also to hang with someone new!
It seems whenever we get together with some of Ray's other friends.. like Beth and Ray or Larrisa and Brian I am normally feeling left out! Beth and Larrissa always sit and talk to eachother and ingore me like I am not there! But this was not the case with Darci. She was very chatty and open and I had a wonderful time with her! She reminded me of someone I once was friends with. Which was nice!
Today for the 4th, I am not sure what we are going to do. We have like no plans! Ray wants maybe to cookout tonight for his family. Which should be fun. Maybe hot dogs on the grill? Who knows? Ray has to work tonight and I am not sure what we are going to do. I don't think I will be going to the fire works. They are too late for Binks. Plus... I am trying to get her to go to bed earlier now and on her own.. and that would just mess her up. So who knows? I am sure one of the neighbors will let of fire works... So I am sure I will get to see some.
Well.. I am off now. I am so tired.. and need a nappy! And Binks needs a new diaper! TATA! and lots of love!
