Italian festival update; reading urge
How many of you went to the Italian festival last night in Canton? Did anyone find it a little different than it has been in the past? Of course, I have gone many years with family and yes, I did go last night like we planned and I told you that I would update you on how it was. Of course I never really paid attention to anything except for the food and maybe the rides until next year. Last year I noticed that they charged $5 to everyone except to seniors so last year my grandparents didn't have to pay to enter but this year all had to pay. Last year I noticed that you could buy wine at a lot more different booths but I also heard that the wine selection wasn't that great.
But anyway the meals that we got were really good. I got a pepperoni calzone and everyone else except grandma got an egg and pepper sandwich. Anyway as some of us were eating we were a little disturbed about one of the bands that were playing. They were this rock and roll band and they sounded like they were screaming not singing. As everyone was walking to find a new place Dawn mentioned that it's a shame that there is no italian music.
For those of you who don't know Dawn, she works with mom and is a good friend. Katey and her drove to grandma's and walked with us. Well anyway when we moved it got better and after a bit a singer started playing italian music. Grandpa was in his glory and was listening to the music and went to get closer and we joined him. So it wasn't all negative. So I encourage you to go and have a good time when it's still going on. :) We all had a good time and all got dessert and I got a scrumptious apple dumpling while mom got a cream horn.
I don't remember what anyone else got. Anyway I told you that Becca and Aria would be coming to swim to make up for yesterday but this morning it was raining and her phone broke and she had to take her phone in to get it fixed. So today was another cancellation but I had the urge to read so I might be having another book review soon so stay tuned for that. Well better get going Lots of love,

Noticeable changes
You probably notice some of the changes that I just made on the blog right down to some of the photos that I added/ removed to the background. I am really satisfied with it so far but of course I've said that when I upgraded the Clinique 3 step logo as my background for a short time but I thought it was too much and I thought I couldn't live without my clouds when I switched it back. Plus the more I thought about it Dillards and Clinique were more mom not me and this isn't her blog it's mine. I have a feeling that the sunflower background is going to last longer since I LOVE sunflowers. Another reason why I needed a changed was because Jessie had made some changes to hers and I was inspired to do the same.
Sorry Jessie if I always seem to be copying you. Well anyway I removed the Dillards sign and added a photo of a horse. I have always loved horses and I have read series of horses when I was little such as The Saddle Club or The Heart land series. I don't even have to mention the fact that I was a fan of the Laura Ingalls Wilder series. In fact my text message alert on my phone is a horse neigh. Fits doesn't it? LOL.
Well anyway I thought you were all getting bored with just looking at a boring black and white sign that said never give up so I changed it to the peanuts. Who doesn't love Charlie brown? In fact when I was little that was the only comic strip of the funnies I would read in the newspaper. But anyway comment and let me know what you think. Anyway tonight we are going to the Italian festival with grandma and grandpa.
It should be fun and than tomorrow Becca will be coming over with Aria to swim. She was originally supposed to come today but she left the car seat in her dad's van and he had already left for work. She felt really frustrated and I told her not to worry and that she can come tomorrow instead. :) She says that Aria loves the water and pool and I am sure we'll have a good time. Well I better get a move on in getting ready. I do not want Mark waiting for me like he did these last couple times we had to go somewhere. Bye lots of love.

Fun in Cincinnati
I'm back.... did you miss me? of course you did LOL. In fact when grandma and I were just having a diet Coke in her kitchen before she started unpacking she looked at me and said,
"It's nice to travel, but it's also nice to be home." Of course all I could do was nod and be in somewhat of agreement. It was nice to be out of the car and indeed I was back in my hometown but I wasn't really home. My grandpa said he would have taken me home yesterday but I was more than welcome to stay another night. Since mom had to work late last night I had decided to just stay another night and sure enough that's what I did and grandma dropped me off this morning before her bible study she had, so now I can finally fully agree with her saying.
Well anyway I will give you updates about the trip as to what we did each day. As I said on my previous post I told you that I left Thursday so I will start off telling you what we did Thursday from there.
Thursday: Mom had everyone over at the house for lunch and to lay out by the pool. Rachel was there and it was just a fun day in the sun. From there I left with grandma and everyone with my bag and things to leave for the trip. After that we went to cousin Frank's and Charlotte's house for dinner. From there we left. We didn't get on the road until 9 and it was just Cousin Colleen, grandma and I on the road. Colleen drove the whole way and we got in at 1 AM. Yes just in case you are wondering I did get to sleep. I slept in the car and just in case you forgot or if I forgot to mention Colleen had to be back by Friday because she had a dentist appointment that morning early. Grandpa and Uncle Robert were coming that afternoon.
Friday : After colleen had her dentist appointment which went well, she reported, we went to the mall to walk and to do some shopping. I unfortunately couldn't buy anything because I only had 5 dollars on me and I forgot my card but it was nice just looking. We had bought breakfast at Starbucks and I desperately wanted to use my gift cards I had received for Christmas but grandma wouldn't let me. If you want Jess I will treat you to a tea or coffee or your favorite beverage. :) As we were there Uncle Roger had dropped by and brought my cousin Emilia.
When we came back to Colleen's Emilia was with us and she ended up spending the weekend and it was all about waiting for the guys. So it was almost a repeat of Thursday only at a different pool. I however didn't have any desire to get my swimsuit on so I i supervised. In fact everyone called me the Lifeguard. As a joke I text Becca who was a lifeguard and asked for CPR instructions and she gave them to me.
Thankfully I didn't have to use it and the the evening was even better. We had donatoes pizza and sundaes and aunt Margret had came over to hang out with us. Just in case you want to know uncle Robert and grandpa came in at 2:00.
Saturday: Something unexpected happened to Colleen as she was getting her pool ready for another day of fun but as she was getting the vacuum ready she tripped over the handle extender and twisted her ankle and landed in the pool. She went to the ER and came back with crutches and with her ankle sprinted. She was told that she had a fractured ankle. Thankfully aunt Karla had came up from Louisville with Maria and Luke and was able to show Colleen how to use the cruches. Colleen can't stand them she says they are dangerous and they are and we were all pulling together helping every way we could.
Even though we helped her she wanted to do tasks for herself but it seemed like her father Uncle Robert didn't want that and she constantly had to say that she wanted to do it. We were originally going to go my uncle's restaurant but everyone thought it was just easier if we stayed at Colleen's and have dinner there. We were all enjoying the pool anyway and I had even gone in. :)
Sunday: That was the day that we were supposed to head home but uncle Roger persuaded us to stay another night but not at Colleen's but at their house which where we usually stay when we come. After church all except Colleen, Uncle Robert, and grandpa went to go see a movie. Emilia and I went to go see a separate screening than the aunt Margret and grandma. I am not sure what they went to see but Emilia and I went to see Brave and it was fantastic and we were on our way to the restaurant from there. We all had ate a good meal but I had gotten in trouble because I was texting.
Grandpa said I was being very rude. For the record I was texting mom letting her know I was doing since it had been awhile since I heard from her and how the baby shower I had missed went. I mean texting mom and a few friends make me feel better when I feel a little homesick. :) but I DO know what grandpa meant so I put it away, the cell phone does take away from your quaility time with family. But had a good time.
Monday: We made our way back home. Grandma made breakfast for dinner last night. She made yummy blue berry pancakes with scrambled eggs and fried hot dogs. As a joke I said we had brinner. A cross between breakfast and dinner LOL, and now here I am home again and it does feel good. Well I better go, I have a bag of laundry to do. Lots of love to all,

First day of Summer
Well it's official, it's the first day of Summer LOL. Of course you would have already guessed that it was already here by these hot temperatures. Mark and mom were talking the other day and it seems like this Summer is going to be about weddings and baby showers. Of course this was before Jessie was married but now that the wedding is now passed we have a couple baby shower invites and some expected pregnancies in our families. Of course you all know about Rachel since I broke the news. She is due on August 23 and than I found out awhile back that Mark's nephew, Josh's wife, Josyln is also expecting.
She and Rachel are due a day apart. Rachel is due a day later. Well anyway Jocelyn shower is this Sunday while Rachel's shower is on July 15th. For the record I will not be attending Jocelyn's baby shower. Cousin colleen had came up with her father uncle Robert to attend his class Reunion and they asked mom and Mark, and I if we were interested in going back to Cincinnati to surprise uncle Roger for his birthday which was on the 13th. Well mom and Mark couldn't go because of the shower so they said that I could go.
So I am going to head down with grandma and Colleen tomorrow evening after dinner and grandpa and uncle Robert are heading back Friday morning. I think we are staying till Sunday or Monday. I think it will be fun. :) So you know all this week mom has been on vacation and off work. So she is enjoying her time off relaxing by the pool and getting some things done around here. That is one reason I haven't been blogging. I've been just trying to enjoy her company because it seems like I barely see her and when I do it's when we are eating and she's on the cell phone playing games or when she's asleep. :( Well better get going, I do need do to do some laundry before my trip. Stay tuned for updates.
Lots of love to all

Wedding updates
Well it's official Jessie is married to her beloved David and they are on their honeymoon. Now that the rehearsal and wedding day is passed I can officially give you updates on both. I will first start with the rehearsal dinner, remember on a previous post I had written on my to do list to attend the rehearsal and wedding on time, well Mark and I got lost and it led me to call Jessie which led to David talking to Mark well to make a long story short I DID finally get there. For the record I didn't miss any of the rehearsal. They were about ready to start when I walked in and when they saw me Lula said I arrived just in time.
For the record we rehearsed it two times and to make it easier Jessie's father in law Dave put masking tape on the floor so that we would know where to stand. He even suggested putting our names on them but we didn't think it was necessarily if we just paid attention to who we stood next to. It was pretty easy. I was next to this tall girl Emma and this very petite girl with short blonde hair, Bobbi. For the record I was the second one to go down the aisle and there were only four bridesmaids.
We all came down by ourselves and then met with our partners and we went up two steps and separated. The ring bare and flower girl came down and took a seat beside their father in the pew. The rehearsal went well and as went to dinner Dave said that my partner and I made an excellent pair because we both made a mistake in getting there. He went to the wrong church, and I got lost. He than looked at me and pointed his finger in a teasing manner and said,
"No getting lost tomorrow young lady,: and I nodded. After dinner of pizza and salad we played games. For the record I had played APPLES to APPLES with Jessie, Bobbie, Darren (Bobbie's husband, Lula, and three others. For the record Darren had won. Then I had figured it was time to be picked up so I made the call.
So you know the wedding was beautiful. No, I did not get lost and I even told that to Dave when I saw him and he said that's because your mother brought you. Jess did not let the groom see her until she walked down the aisle but he really wanted to. She wouldn't even let him into the nursery where she was hiding after she had her makeup on to give her a kiss. Poor David :( but I am sure he was surprised when he saw her walk down the aisle.
In fact I saw him pull out a tissue or a hankie to dab his eyes a couple times. Well anyway the bouquets were light pink roses, and Jessie's was a mixture between white and dark pink, similar to our dresses. Well anyway it was a nice wedding and reception. The reception was nice. Jess and and David danced to a song from Cinderella So this is Love. I thought that was the perfect choice :) I have that song on my mp3 player and listen to it from time to time.
I also liked the father daughter dance song they chose. Overall it was a great day and I wish them both the best of luck :) Jess you couldn't have picked a better guy.

Pre wedding jitters
It's funny isn't it, you would have thought that this would have been a title that Jessie would have put on her blog but it's not LOL. In fact for those who are following Jessie on her blog know that she has posted a cute hello kitty honeymoon sign and that she said she was getting married and that she will be back after her honeymoon. But I on the other hand am starting to get a little nervous. It's a little odd because I used to have seizures whenever I got nervous about something such as this but now I have had been seizure free I have a new nervous habit which is...... unusal dreams. Last night I didn't dream at all but the night before last was really unusal.
Yes, I have no trouble sharing it. In my dream I was having a pool party at my house and I had of course invited all my grandparents, brothers, realtives, and I have even invited the newly weds Jessie, and David. Well anyway James and Nathan started drinking and without even thinking they threw me into the pool with my clothes on and starting pulling me under the water trying to drown me and everyone was just watching not not even wanting to do something. Jessie and David just made a run for it saying they needed to get going for their honeymoon. When I woke up that morning I just didn't know what to think or feel because I knew that wouldn't really let that happen. I knew that Jessie and David wouldn't just watch and neither would my grandparent's or family.
I knew they would try to save me from drowning if that really happened. But anyway I finally completed all the items on my to do list. I got my hair colored and my manicure and pedicure. So the to do list is complete YAY!!!!! But anyway you wouldn't think that I'd get nervous because this isn't my first wedding I've been in. Here is the list of wedding I have taking part in.
Flower girl (Aunt Karla's wedding)
Junior bridesmaid (Uncle Roger)
Reader (cousin Billy)
bridesmaid (Cousin Leslie) and now I am reprising that role for my best friend Jessie. :) I am proably not done yet LOL. But it's funny because I always want to do my best to please the bride and groom that asked me and I can't help but be nervous so wish me luck.

Novel brainstorming
It has sure been awhile since I mentioned my novel hasn't it? I am sure that some of you are wondering to yourself is she ever going get started or if I am going to give up totally. Well I can tell you this I am not giving up but I had a severe case of writer's block and a couple people in my extended family advised me to take a break and not to do anything including the brainstorming and the ideas will come back and sure enough they have been pouring in ever since I went to dad's. Yes I would still take my black binder with me just in case the ideas would come when I would say I was at my grandma's or dad's and sure enough that's what happened. In fact as soon as an idea for what I wanted a character to look like or what I wanted their names to be I intermediately wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.
I have to admit that was one of my hugest mistakes. There were times when I wouldn't write it down right when it came to me and when I went to do it later I had forgotten some of it such as what was color hair did I want this character to have LOL. Dad kept on laughing at me as we were talking and as soon as I had an idea I'd open the binder and jot it down. I must admit there is still some research to do before I can actually begin on the actual novel but it's progress. I am still on the process of creating characters and it's funny because to get ideas on names I am going on baby websites looking at baby names. Maybe I should ask for a baby book for my birthday LOL. :) I know Jessie used to do that to get ideas on names when she was working on her story ;)
But anyway I was obsessed in doing that yesterday but unfortunately I can't spend as much time with that today I am afraid, I need to tend to my bedroom. I never give my my bedroom a good cleaning like I said I was going to do LOL. Well I will keep you updated on how I am doing and what page I am on when I am actually writing pages. :) Well I am happy to say that mom is feeling a little better. ;) I better get going lots of love.

Dad kept on laughing at me as we were talking and as soon as I had an idea I'd open the binder and jot it down. I must admit there is still some research to do before I can actually begin on the actual novel but it's progress. I am still on the process of creating characters and it's funny because to get ideas on names I am going on baby websites looking at baby names. Maybe I should ask for a baby book for my birthday LOL. :) I know Jessie used to do that to get ideas on names when she was working on her story ;)
But anyway I was obsessed in doing that yesterday but unfortunately I can't spend as much time with that today I am afraid, I need to tend to my bedroom. I never give my my bedroom a good cleaning like I said I was going to do LOL. Well I will keep you updated on how I am doing and what page I am on when I am actually writing pages. :) Well I am happy to say that mom is feeling a little better. ;) I better get going lots of love.
