Tj Roberts wedding

TJ got married last Saturday and Lee was in his line. TJ and Sophie looked amazing and you could tell how happy they were. However being that Lee is great friends with TJ it meant that Lee got to help decorate TJ and Soph's car...TJ warned me that there will be revenge.

Family cabin weekend trip

Shane and Cindy were nice enough to share the Davis' family cabin with all of us. Here are a few pictures of the event.This is how Connor fell asleep, on the stairs.






HOW FREAKING CUTE IS MY NEPHEW DAVIS??

Crazy-ness

I am almost completely moved into our house. Lee will move in when the wedding is close and then start living there after we are official. The house is good and weird at the same time. I feel like a big kid living on my own. There are some random noises that I still need to get used to but all in all being on my own has been fun and challenging. Every room has been cleaned except for the front room but that should be taken care of on Saturday. I moved in all my kitchen stuff and can't wait to start using it. The only draw back to this house is that there is no dishwasher, so I will be showing Lee how to clean dishes!!

Update on the whole reconnecting with my long lost family...

I went the other day and got a haircut from my half sister who is the same age as my oldest brother. She has a little boy who just started junior high and she works for Lunatic Fringe. She seems the same to me but then again I havent really seen her in 14 yrs. Chris (my dad) will call every now and then and I am trying to make an effort to talk to him but its still weird. I will be amazed if he shows up to the wedding.

I get married in a little less than 2 weeks...cant wait!!

Updation Proclamation!!

Updates Galore...

Katie got a new job and has left the wonderful world of eBay. I am going to be working at Comcast.

After Lee and I went to look at the tini apartment that I mentioned Lee vetoed that place. He didnt like the area, and he is so tall he would have to crouch down in the shower...kind of like that part in Elf..

So, that meant that we needed to find another place to live. As many of your know, my mother is getting married. Her fiance lives in a house that is about a mile from where I live now. He rents it and it has a garage. It is a little bit of an older home but it has a roof and running water. Its 70's-tastic! With the poop yellow carpet and all. Since my mother's fiance will move in with her, we are going to try to rent this home that he lives in now for a few months and then look for a house.

School has started...and for the most part it isnt so bad, except for my geopgraphy class that I have with Lee. The instructor is an older guy and goes off on these random thoughts he has for like 20 minutes. The class is once a week so its like 3 hours of that crap! If I didnt have the class with Lee I would go crazy.

Utes Football is in full swing and has started off with a bang! Who would have thought that a little football team from Utah would beat the most popular team in College football? Well..I did. The Utes conqured over Michigan! Lee is super excited, and since we have season tickets to the Utes he can't wait for next weeks game against UNLV. Lee does however have to miss 1 Ute game. The Utes are playing on our wedding and like the mean wife I am, I told him he couldnt go to the game because we needed to get married.

Katie who?

Anyone that knows me, knows that I don't really have much contact with my biological dad. Growing up he wasn't the coolest guy, but now that I am older I am trying to let go of the past and reconnect with people. I decided that I wanted to let my dad know that I was getting married, but the hard part was that I hadn't spoken to my dad in about 5 years and I didn't have any contact information for him. So like any internet savy nerd, I googled him. I knew he lived in New Mexico, so I started by looking in the phonebooks for New Mexico, but the problem is that there are a lot of Chris Aragon's in that state. SO I found one that I thought was him, and sent a letter. I only sent one letter, and as it turns out I found the right house. The letter went to his ex wife Cheri who was kind enough to email me and give me a phone number and even offered to help me find him if the number didnt work. After working up some courage I called the number and spoke with my dad. At first he didnt know who I was, but after he figured it out he was so happy to talk to me. I was kind of nervous to talk to him so I didnt really take the time I should have to catch up with him. I just asked him for his address, and how to contact my half sister that I have. She is, I think 10 years older than I am and has a little boy. She lives in NSLC and is not married.

Chris called me later that night when I was o my way to school and we kind of caught up. I never knew I had so many aunts and uncles, I think the total was like 8 or 9, and I think I have something like 40 cousins. He is getting remarried for I think the 3rd time so a woman who is native american. I dont know what he does for work, but he is working and also is still going to AA meetings and helps with group meetings for that. He said he was really going to try to make it to my wedding. I am nervous to see him, but excited at the same time. We never have had the best relationship, but he is still my dad and I think I owe it to myself to try to have a relationship to him. He asked me when I was going to give him grandkids....I sighed and said well not for a while until I am at least done with school. But it made me think, that my kids wont really have a grandpa since Lee's dad passed away a few years ago. So if not for me, I should try to have a relationship for my unborn children ( man that sounds weird). This whole situation is strange, but it sounds like my dad has figured out that I am going to let go of the past and give him a chance.

Just like any dad, he asked me who was walking me down the aisle...I laughed and said my brothers. I dont think we are that close that he gets to walk me down the aisle...ha ha.
