A Long Weekend

Between my readings this weekend, which by the way I finished "Twilight" in 48 hours and I am already half-way through "New Moon." I stopped a couple chapters after the break-up and I couldn't really sleep last night, I was kind of upset. I think it will get better, I hear Jacob becomes a big character now, hmmm? We'll see! Maybe I needed to listen to Edward's lullaby last night.

Anyways, between my readings I was helping my mom prepare for the huge party that was going to happen Saturday night. Friday, luckily could get off at 3, we went to the grocery store, the farmer's market, and then the grocery store again, and again. My mom made these awesome treats called "Buffalo Turds," they are made from red and green chili peppers stuffed with cream cheese, a baby sausage and then wrapped in bacon. I didn't eat any but they were the first thing to go. But I went all over town looking for these certain peppers, FIVE grocery stores. Super Bi-Lo had them if anyone needs any. Saturday morning we got up bright and early and headed over to mom and dad's to get the outside ready for the Party. We played by the pool for a little while and then we went to deocrating. We spent a good part of the day cooking in the kitchen. Then at 4'o'clock my baby sister graduated! She's going to NC State this year.

Chad and I left immediatly after they called her name to go home and get a few things in the oven, get drinks in coolers, shake up some margaritas and greet the guests. There were a lot of people there, I don't know maybe 18-20 kids that Emily knew, and they were all in the pool, thankfully not at once. I think 12 at once. We had badminton set up and corn hole. I think corn hole one my group over. After we all had a few margaritas it was even more fun. The photo on the left from the left Matt (Jill's bo), Jill (my sista), Chinara, Knam and Caleb, behind her her hubby Tim, Me, and Meghan, and I don't know where Chad is? He might be in the pool.

We all had a blast! My sister especially had a great time and I think that's what means the most. She got a GPS from my mom and dad, which she totally needs, she doesn't have one built in (to her head I mean) like Jill and I do. I got a lot of good pictures for her memories, because now it will all remain a memory for her. I can't believe I have been graduated for almost, well not almost but 6 years. These will be memories she'll cherish the rest of her life. Congratulations Sis!


Our weekend didn't stop there, I will blog more later after I catch a few more chapters in my book. I sure hope Edward comes back, in a good way. I hear you Lori, "Team Jacob!!" I guess I will see what you mean shortly. But, I love Edward, ohhhhh!!!
