Superheroes, weddings and sunsets

Time to update! Ok so it has been non-stop for the past two weeks. I am not sure where the time went but I know sleeping wasn’t an option most of the time. Where to begin, well lets start with me trying to squeeze a weeks worth of work into 3 days so I could get off for Mom and Gary’s wedding. Not fun, long hours and cranky people, perfect right? And this after 2 weeks of launches, landings, scrubs and weird hours. Ok, enough work complaints because this week we will be receiving our much needed bonuses and I can maybe start looking at new cars a little more. Car shopping is fun, however car buying is stressful. I am going to look but no touch until absolutely necessary. Alright, back to the point at hand, Jimmy, Linda and Nicholas came in Thursday for Mom and Gary’s wedding. I was so excited to see them. I couldn’t wait to hug and kiss and squeeze little Nicky and hang out with Jimmy and Linda. Truth be told, I was going to do so much fun stuff with them that they would want to move here ASAP….on a side note, they did find a development in Viera that they really loved and are really considering, yeah! I took them over to Sunset Grill for lunch and atmosphere where we talked, drank and laughed. I could sit out there all day but alas, the mid-afternoon rain showers snagged us again. It is just as well because I had planned a little family dinner that night out at Grill’s in the Port, so I took them to their hotel and let them relax for a bit.

Grill’s is always a fun place to go. It is right on the water in Port Canaveral, they usually have good music and a huge tiki bar to chill at. Unfortunately, the rain again hampered our plans and we had to eat inside but were able to enjoy the deck afterward. It was really chill and Gary and Mom enjoyed having all the kids around. Man, at this point I am already exhausted but Jimmy cannot come to town and not hit the Dog n Bone. So off we go with renewed energy to enjoy some spirits and good times. Well, Jimmy decides he wants to play darts. Great right, well, I thought we would play not that we would play against guys that are good. Anyone, who knows knows that I am not very good and well I proved that in front of everyone, just in case they didn’t know. I am not sure how I did it but I managed to bust the backing of the dart board. Yea, it was classy!

Friday was a fun day at Island’s of Adventure. Rene’ and I just got our new passes for the next 2 years and couldn’t wait to go ourselves, not to mention Jimmy has not been to any of these parks, so we decided that we all should go. Nicholas was really an awesome baby the entire day. Rene’ and I babysat while Jimmy and Linda got to be ten year olds and ride the rides. We took goofy pictures, ate way too much nonsense and just a great day. I am glad I got to share that with them. Now, I just cannot wait until we get to take Nicholas to Disney!

Now on to Mom’s wedding….It really was beautiful. A good old fashioned back yard wedding, complete with dog running out in the middle of it. Jill and Rene’ did an unbelievable job on the cake because not only was it beautiful but tasty as well. Great job ladies! The porch and yard looked beautiful and I have to thank both Rene’ and Nina (that is right folks; Nina is back, making a surprise appearance at the last minute! Everyone was so happy she could be there) for their expert decorating skills. Mom and Gary were both so happy and thrilled that everyone could be there. I think they both had more fun and actually go to enjoy their wedding. Congrats for them!

At this point my hands are killing me from writing all this. I really should have taken a break in between. Anywho, when crazy weeks like this happen it just makes me miss everyone more and more. I talked with Abbey (my best friend from NY who now resides in PA) and it always makes me feel so good or so much better about things when I walk with her. I don’t know what it is but she can tell me things I have already thought about or been told and make me take a step back and look at it again and feel good about it. ß-- that was a ridiculous sentence by the way. Anywho, I have to get up there soon and spend time with her. I haven’t even seen there new house yet. Ok, enough whining I am going back to work now…peace out!
