I am going to skip ahead a few years since some topic of conversation brought up this story the other night, and it is definitely worth repeating. Some time around my 9th grade year, my mom finally decided to call it quits with my dad (the crazy, tragic stories surrounding that year will have to…
The Broken Window
I used to love when my cousins would come over to see my grandma because that meant I had built-in playmates. My cousin Johnny and I would always gang up against my sister Misty, my cousin Kim, and Johnny's sister, Julie. Two against three may not sound like much of a ganging up, but since…
Growing up at Grandma’s House
The other day, I was sitting with Marc, Jordan, and Joel in a booth at the Waffle House on Floyd Baker Blvd. We saw an old man sitting at the bar, drinking coffee and carrying on a one-sided conversation with a couple who sat near the window in a 2-seater booth. The couple nodded politely…
Wedding Celebrations
Sunday evening, August 1, 2010 We are now officially in Chicago, in our hotel, and Marc is trying to recover from the stressful drive down the expressway lining the city of Chicago. It's like driving in Atlanta, only worse. We were bumper-to-bumper on a Sunday afternoon. The trick now is going to be remembering that…
Go Irish!
Friday night, July 30, 2010 We awoke to have breakfast with the extended family as all of us who are here for the wedding are staying at the same hotel. The guys had their final fitting for their tuxes, and they all had the rehearsal tonight, so Marc and the boys and I headed for…
Cleveland Rocks!
Wednesday afternoon, July 28, 2010 Yesterday was more than awesome. Cleveland is one of the coolest places I have ever been, and I never thought I would be saying that! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had way more than I could ever see in one day. I just made sure I scoured the…
In Cleveland!
Monday night, July 26, 2010 We are now in Cleveland and having a wonderful time. Last night, we toured Akron, OH after we enjoyed massive chocolate milkshakes at Steak -n- Shake. Jordan was dying to find St. Vincent St. Mary High School where LeBron James graduated. I was a bit nervous, thinking that it must…
Sunday Evening, July 25, 2010
Hello Everyone!!!! Another update from the Camps... Last night, Marc found a fabulous Italian restaurant called Papa Bear's here in Canton. I think the owners are actual Italians (as far as we could tell based on our ignorant, southern stereotyped ideas of what a "real" Italian would look like); regardless, the pasta and salads were…
We Are On Our Way!
Saturday Afternoon, July 24, 2010 We have made it to Canton, Ohio, and we are staying in a Hampton Inn here a couple of miles from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I tried to post something earlier today before we left Ripley, WV, but the shotty internet connection at the Holiday Inn Express there…
Beginnings
Hello, Everyone! We are in the planning stages of our big Mid-West America trip scheduled for the end of July. I hope to be able to post each night about our adventures of the day, and I want to post the link on my Facebook page for easy access for my friends and family.
