BUSY BUSY!
I've just been sooooooo busy! had to go to Houston to see some of my former Marines I was stationed with from 11 years ago & during 9/11, I missed them so much, and wadya know, just as we were shootin up Bin Laden targets and arguin about where that asshole was, it shows up on the news that they got him! LOL! we partied!
Then as soon as I got back, I had to start runnin around like crazy getting things ready for my older bro, Kris' arrival here, he will be having his wedding ceremony here! aaaaahhhh!!! gotta pick him up this week end! didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but I tried, if I worked any harder woulda got a flare. Been prayin daily that God give me strength so that dont' happen. My bro will have a Javanese style wedding (wearing the traditional attire) since we spent a lot of our childhood years on the Java Island, he himself is kinda Buddhist, but he's asked to be married by my mom's pastor who is Hawaiian & pentecostal. It's gonna be an interesting wedding! there is still more that needs to be done around here.... and I still need to find someone to help me with his wife's dressing & hair, cuz I can't remember how to assemble that stuff or style the hair! yikes! (ok breath...)
In other news.... I have not yet finished the process of joining the red cross or the VA volunteer service. have not had any time to. I'll pick up with that when this wedding thing is over.
I also stopped speaking to that guy. Before my trip, he kept telling me he wanted to remain friends but then would ignore my calls for a week. This went on several times over, and then had the balls to tell me "I would like us to be friends and I am working on being better at it. but right now, I just care about my self." .....???? Um I don't know about you but the words "friendship" and "only care about myself" don't belong in the same sentence, being that friendship is a 2 way road.
anyways, so before I left to go see my marine buddies that I love (we would take a bullet for each other), I decided to stop talking to that guy, because he is garbage. stress and fibro dont go together.
My trip to Houston was AWESOME!!!!!!! my friends had me laughing so hard there were times I couldn't get off the floor! LOL! miss them already.....
so what's the deal with all you? miss you all!

PS... forgot to mention: before I flew out to houston, one of my Marine buddies that i havent\' seen in like 7 years came out to visit me, so i was busy showing him the island. THEN a couple weeks later, I flew out to Houston to see the rest of them. whewwww!!!! 2011 is a busy year so far
WOW it is SO good to hear from you - been thinking about you and wondering how you\'re doing! Sounds like an awesome trip and what a great place to be when you heard the news about Osama!
Well, I got to go to a Big Fat Persian Wedding in the Hudson Valley in New York State in June! My nephew, the NYU Law grad, Married Farah, the River Dancer, and fellow NYU Law grad. So there was this incredibly beautiful Persian Wedding Ceremony. Persia was a thriving culture for a thousand years before the muslims came and ruined it.. Jesse and Farah are all over Facebook, and time and space will not allow me to describe how pretty the whole thing was. Hudson Valley. Upstate New York. West Point. If you have not seen it, I hope you get to some day. It is really great.
Also got to see Stepping Stones, the House where Lois and Bill W., the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Al Anon spent their last years together.
