Joey and Caroline get a Kitten!

I'm supposed to be grading projects about my students' family trees... but I thought this would be much more fun (and way cuter!)

In my last post I recounted only part of my adventure to PA... now for the finishing touch!

I got a kitten!

She will be a pal for Louis and a help to him in his old age. Well, he's only 7, but that's kind of middle aged for baby cats. They are already friends, believe it or not, and like to eat the same food out of the same dish and then deposit the digested food in the same litter box! Whoever heard of such a thing!?

An anniversary, a wedding, and Amanda!

First things first: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!!!

Their anniversary was yesterday, and not only does it mark a marriage of two people who love each other, but it also marks the beginning of a new and comp

lete family. So in a way, this is the anniversary of our whole family! Yay us!!!

Now, in other news, I made a promise last week to blog about my trip to PA-- so blog I shall! The trip was lovely and I miss my friend Amanda more than ever. It's like when you're really, really hungry and you only eat one bite of your twice baked potato, you're so much hungrier for MORE twice baked potato! So Amanda, if you're reading this, you are as wonderful as a twice baked potato-- don't you feel special?

I arrived at BWI on Friday evening where Amanda picked me up and we drove the two hours back to her town. As girls do at sleepovers, we stayed up and talked waaaay past our bedtime :) But it was well worth it. On Saturday we went to Amanda's fiancé's aunt's wedding (it's quite a mouthful). It was very small and the bride was so happy that I was able to attend the wedding. Amazingly, she even asked me to be part of the photos!! The reception was held about an hour away from the ceremony. Here are some pictures of what I saw along the way:

The next day was Amanda's bridal shower hosted by her bridesminions, Kristen, Katie, and me!

Seeing Amanda was wonderful. We are true friends, as evidenced by the fact that we have not seen each other in over two years, and yet nothing seems to have changed!

Happy Friday!

I am SO ready for the weekend-- but it certainly won't be relaxing! My best friend from Randolph College (formerly Randolph-Macon Woman's College) is having her bridal shower this weekend; so being the good bridesmaid that I am, I am flying up to PA tonight and will be back in CHS by Sunday. Yikes! I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and posts, so stay tuned!

Joey gets a Haircut!

Hello everyone! Yes, yes, I know it's been a long time since I've posted; however, I have some exciting news! My dearly beloved has gotten his hair cut. Here is a photo from before he got his lovely locks chopped:


In an effort to present himself as more professional and put together, Joey decided to get his hair cut so that he could look nice at formal occasions. Now he looks like this:


Isn't he handsome? And professional? And put together?
