Catching up

Okay, it's been a while since I've updated the blog. Believe me, I've got PLENTY of excuses :) They're all legitimate excuse, but excuses nontheless. I was reading my friend Nicole's blog and also a comment from another friend about seasons and how things come back around about once a year. uh, yeah, that'd be us. Although this last year has been kiiinnnndaaaa crazy!! not so much the norm, as out of the ordinary. For example, my previous post was that we had bought a house. Well, yeah, and all the stuff that goes with it. We bought the house cause I now have a full time job, which is 40 hours a week. and well, when i get hoommmmmeeee. Sitting in front of a computer is not my idea of relaxing, since I sit there for 8 hours at work. but i think i've already mentioned that. Anyway. I'll try to get better. if for no other reason than personal reflection & gratitude for all that I have. So, on to this post! In January one of my younger cousins, RJ, got married. The funny thing about this one was that my sisters and I were 11,12 &13 when his mom got married, and were at the wedding. So this one was kinda sentimental. At least for me. The ceremony was beautiful. I'm jealous of Laura's dress. She picked it right off the rack and it only cost $100, or something crazy like that. her bridemaids were all in black, with cool flowers. RJ had one of his "girl" friends as a grooms "man." And she high fived all the guys as she passed them to stand on his side of the preacher. funny stuff. Throwing the bouquet.

Brigitte, RJ's sister, dancing with B & Stel. My niece and another cousins daughter. They are some funny girls.

My aunt and another cousins baby.

B, dancing after the cermony was over. Or maybe just jumping around. She was launching herself off the steps for a while, until she got a little too close to people and then we had to put a stop to that.
