expanding the family

So this has been a very exciting week for my family. Last Saturday, at the Discovery party, in front of about 300 people, Jerry, my stepdad, proposed to his girlfriend Stacy.


Of course, we think she is great. I think she is perfect for Jerry. Her only flaw is that she is so easy to get along with.

She has two daughters, Samantha, 16, and Stephanie, 12. Rachel and Samantha were friends at school before Jerry and Stacy started dating, and Samantha and I went through Discovery together, she is like my little sister. Stephanie is a good kid, but she is shy about interacting with us all as a group, but even she was crying Saturday night when Jerry proposed. Everyone is really happy.


This is Jerry and Stacy one night when we went to play Putt-Putt.










And these are Samantha and Stephanie, respectively. Can you believe that Samantha's hair is that curly naturally!

Sammie and Stephie's dad is just like my mom. So we all kinda understand each other. And they all lived about two blocks away from our old house for about 15 years, and we never knew it. It's craziness. I'm excited about getting two more sisters. They haven't set a date for the wedding, but I don't think they are going to wait for all the kids to graduate first, so I don't think it will be too long.


And yes, I got a new kitten.

Isn't she the cutest thing?!

My new kitten climbed into my makeup bag and fell asleep.

Meet Rini. It means "little bunny" in Japanese.
