Well, my dad's side of the family decided to put together a reunion.  I was unsure about going as thoughts of the awkward conversations fill my head.  The visions of introductions as to who I am and how I am related to these people.  Most of them have seen me since I was a little girl, and with my dad being gone  now he would not be there to help make the connection.  But with a threat from my sister, and knowing that both my uncles would be there and that they wanted me there, I decided to go.  The event was held at my Great-Uncle Charley's house.  He lives about an hour away on the way out to the beach.  I thought my parents lived out in no-man's land.....boy was I wrong.  Charley lives in NO-MAN's land!  It was gorgeous out there though.  He has his own vineyard and lots of acreage.  They had a bounce house, dunk tank, and drawing area for the kids.  Tables of food, beverages, and desserts.  The festivities w...

Per my mom's request I am posting some pictures of me when I was young and some pictures of Brylee.  My mom was recently going through some old photos and gave me these.  She said that she could not believe the similarities as she was looking at the pictures.  So Mom here you go!

Brad is sporting a new vehicle these days.  We got the money from our insurance company for his mustang and went on a mad search to find something as a replacement.  It took a few weeks (yes I even lost a bet because I thought we could find something sooner :( ).  Here is his BMW 528i (after I gave it a nice wash ;) ).  So the update so far is Brad is still continuing with physical therapy.  He is getting better, but we are not sure how long it will take to get him feeling completely good again.  Our lawyer is/will be handling any other insurance conversations (THANK GOODNESS!!!)   Brad's wrist is pretty much healed all the way.  The therapists said they have now found the "root" problem from the accident and can focus on it now that some fluid and swelling have gone down.  Brock seems to be 100%.  He has had no additional problems since the accident thankfully and operates at normal capacity.
