So anyway, I got here Tuesday night (about 3 nights ago and it's been pretty surreal since I got here. First of all, let me explain why I didn't even get emotional until I was walking away from my sisters at the airport. Up until then, I couldn't get myself to really get what was actually happening. I felt like I was just going on vacation somewhere and that I would be back in a week or so. So it didn't really hit me until I hugged Otilia, Jessie, and Eva goodbye and started walking towards the gate with the kids. THEN, it hit me. 'This could be the last time we will all be together like this, with the kids, for a while.' I thought, 'I'm never going to be able to call up Johnny, Otilia, Cris, & Andrea for a spontaneous poker game... I'm never going to be able to talk to Jessie or Eva about life, after my kids have been put down for a nap, anytime I feel like it... I'm going to miss Thursday night youth nights with my brothers... I'm going to miss cracking Office jokes around Gabi, just to see her puzzled expressions... I'm going to miss riding beach cruisers with Jenny and singing the "Sound of Music" to our neighbors -NO ONE gets me like you do... I'm going to miss laughing about just about anything with Linda and seeing what she is going to do with her hair next ; )... I'm going to miss Sunday afternoon lunches with the Ghetes' and going around to see who has food bits in their hair or on their shirts this time... I'm going to miss Alin's dad yelling at me about absolutely nothing that is not even my fault at all... I'm going to miss Alin's mom and her hair-flipping spiel... I'm going to miss Caiden's "Surf's Up" hand signs... I'm going to miss Karrina and how beautiful she is inside & out... I'm going to miss Andrea's E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T massages, and her beautiful heart and gorgeous looks and style... I'm going to miss Cris's "scammish" ideas, and him going from one idea to the next, because it reminds me so much of me -bi-polar all the way, LOL! -so modest, Cris... I'm going to miss Francois' spirit-filled and heartfelt preachings... I'm going to miss singing with Genaro, whom I find so talented and gifted from above... I'm going to miss learning how to meta-tag at 2am with Johnny -any knowledge I have about computers and technology, I owe the credit to you ; )... I am especially going to miss Otilia. She has the best heart I know, and everytime we hang out, I can't wait to see her again, because I miss being around her so quickly. Otilia & Andreea are the best mothers I know and I wish I could be anything close to them as a mother.'
I love all of you so much and though it's been only three days, it really already feels like a lifetime. I love Charlotte. It's beautiful. It would be so much more beautiful and meaningful if you were all here with us.

Glad you got there safe! We are going to miss you guys also, a lot. I didn't really get to say bye to the kids, but I thought I would see them next month. Unfortunately, the tickets are like 400 bucks each, so I think I may have to wait until fall this time around. but I hope you guys enjoy your time there. Keep singing Caroline!
Nice blog! Funny stuff I must admit, but TTIUWP. I hope you continue to keep us updated.
p.s: For those not in teh know, ttiuwp explanation here
Awe, you are so sweet to remember every single one of us by name- ahem, Jake is MIA from your blog :) But it's ok Jake, mommy and daddy still love you! Well, we miss you all so much, especially it being Friday night now and you are a million miles away. I hope you get well adjusted quickly, so we can all get some great pictures from you of the kids enjoying that weather and the trees and the grass, and those hills that are alive... We think of y'all often, you are in our prayers, we love y'all more than you'll ever know! They say y'all there, right? I was hoping to use some of your lingo. Anyway, take care, enjoy your first weekend there!
OMG Johnny I was cracking up when I read your comment. Where do you come up with this stuff? I WILL have pictures when the truck finally gets here and I can unload my computer and camera, dorkus.
...man I knew I was going to forget someone! Okay...Ahem... I will miss you Jake, with your surprised eyes and how ridiculous you are like Otilia in looks!
Genaro, I hope we do see you guys in Fall, it will be beautiful then. : )
hey sista!! those were some nice words. We miss u and the family already. Take care of mom and dad or u might get kicked out. Then again that might not be a bad thing, hehe. i didnt say that though. but anyway, keep posting pics and send us some by phone and email.We dont want to miss out on any moments with the kids!! We love you and God Bless your family with all that is needed to have peace and joy in this next big phase of your lives.!!
by the way, FRANINDA is a combination of my name and Linda's. in case u were wondering. pretty genius huh?not bad for a meat-head construction worker.
Francois you crack me up. I don't think you're a meat-head construction worker. You're just a construction worker. LOL!
dear best friend,
SO, that next day after you left was pretty much the most depressing day. Passing by your house.. so lifeless, so empty..SO FULL OF MEMORIES... i couldn't hold my tears back so what did i do? i called you and left you a hate message!!! "why did you do this to us?" message. But, i understand somethings happen for a reason and I will just learn to live with having a best friend 2030 miles away. <--- and yes that is the exact distance. Go ahead johnny look it up. ..oh johnny by the way.. i did click on the ttiuwp link, and i still dont understand it. def not computer savy..
anywho. caroline i will miss our girls night out-- riding the cruisers around town =) making random stops to take RANDOM pictures -- with are "too cool for school" cruisers! oh and lets not forget singing the sound of music and getting slapped by charlie for no apparent reason other than....he is jelous of our ridiculously amazing opera voices.
So, now im trying to figure out what to do. I can't make a new best friend #1 because you forbid me to and #2 it just would be possible, because yes no one gets me like u do.
there are so many more run-on sentences i can write, but i'll stop here, as this is turning into my own personal blog.
anyways, call me tomorrow when u get your phone.
love and miss you,
your bestie,
JENNY
Well Jenny, when she first made the blog, she had no pictures up at all. ttiuwp = 'this thread is useless without pics', which is basically me saying that unless she posts pictures , I won't believe her when she just says things are nice in North Carolina. Thus rendering her blog useless without pictures to back up her claims. :)
p.s: And just for more computer geekness, I did not spell "teh" incorrectly on my first post (as some might think). Again, explanation here
LOLOLOLOLOL! If that doesn't make you laugh.... Man I love computers. For definition of a computer read below:
COMPUTER: def. what you are on now
Use it in a sentence: You are on the computer now.
