Summer Lovin'

Two weddings, knee surgery for my son, vacation bible school, river trip with the ladies, a week down in Ocean Grove and weekly bible study are all part of my summer activities. I hope I didn't miss anything or anyone.

My son is recuperating nicely, although his scar is pretty funky looking. Vacation bible school is shaping up for the week of Aug. 17th and there is lots to get done. The river trip is something I look forward to every year because mom usually does some kind of water stunt. I've always wanted to stay down the shore and this year we are going to be able to do that and I can't wait! Our bible study on Monday nights, is amazing and we have some hard things to work on in our lives but what a blessing it'll be when God gets done with us.

I'm lovin' the summer no matter how busy this year. It's full of family, friends and lots of memory making that I wouldn't miss for the world.

The New Mr. and Mrs. Anibal Perez

Well there is a new Mr. and Mrs. Anibal Perez in the house. Mr. Anibal Jr. and Mrs. Christine Perez - married on June 20, 2009. What an amazing time we had. My brother looked so handsome and my new sister looked ravishing! The best man gave the best best man speech I ever heard! Great job Geraldo! I was so happy to see them say I do. May the Lord always be a part of their marriage and bless them greatly.

Countdown to the Big Day

My little brother, Junior, is going to become someone's husband!! Well not just someone, but the husband to an amazingly beautiful and bright woman by the name of Christine. We love her very much and wish them all the best of married life. Of course we couldn't let the opportunity go by without making a special memory for my little bro, so here's what we did.

This past Saturday night we knew our brother was going to be at a local restaurant pub for a little reunion party with his friends and he thought we shouldn't be there. Of course that meant nothing to us, so my sister, Alicia decides we should "check on him" in disguise. That's right folks, wigs. My main man Russ and I secretly had dinner at this pub while waiting for Alicia and my other sister Aileen to arrive. And boy did they arrive. Alicia in a long brunette wig and Aileen wearing a long red haired wig and guess what they brought me? A short curly haired blonde wig with a head scarf!!! So with wigs on heads, we discreetly walked towared the room he was in and asked the hostess to tell him there were 3 ladies at the bar who wanted to buy him a drink.

With our backs to him, she walked him over and said, "These 3 ladies, here." We immediately turned around and said, "Aha!!!" We all busted out laughing as he realized it was us! Russ was sort of lurking near the bathrooms as he thought, "I can't believe I'm with them." Actually we were going to put the wig on him and let him wave to my brother from the bar! What a sight that would have been!

We love you brother! You too Christine!!

Birthday Celebration!
