Came back from Florida a week ago and I'm still cursing the fact that I'm not still there.  Apparently my crazy family has somewhat overtaken a small neighborhood over there so there was a lot of running back and forth among the houses... I'm sure the neighbors thought we were crazy or running some sort of mass immigration scam of some sort, but it was cool to have everyone close by and see all my aunts, uncles and cousins.

Here is the bride, my cousin, and her dad for the father-daughter dance. Unfortunately I forgot to get a shot of Kim's bouquet which was made entirely from orchids that her mom grew for the wedding... insanely pretty.

My little niece/2nd cousin hayley and my mom

Ben and Junior, who's a chicken nugget hoarder

More of my mom and the kids... the kid in her lap, Austin, is Hayley's brother... his head is huge!

And Hayley again.

I didn't take very many pictures, sorry vien... but these will do for now.

Someone stole my laundry.... lucky it was a load of towels... but still... that's just not cool.  Who does that?!?!

I did leave a note in the front by the mailboxes and on the dryer... i'm giving people the benefit of the doubt, but i have yet to see my dear towels...  

The weather is crummy here right now and my friend's basement apartment flooded......

sucks for her, everything smells gross and it's super humid in her apt now... needless to

say I lent her my fan...

On another note, i got to sit down and do a tasting of 19 different Petite Bordeaux's!

And on to the important stuff... Happy (early) Birthday Vien! I've known you for 18 years!

wow... we're getting old... but it has been fun ma'am! (make sure you check your mail...

i'm a little iffy about sending stuff to your apt complex) Anyway, since we haven't taken

a picture together since graduation, here's a picture of us if we had taken a picture together

recently.... enjoy

Vien, are we still submitting pictures for the cute baby contest?   remember haylie?

Pictures from my mom's recent visit. 

A weird looking cactus from the Botanical Gardens that reminded me of cheese puffs...

And Vien... your viburnum snowballs! sorry it's blurry, i think i was too excited about finding them.
