The planner’s M.I.A.!

10 August, 2010 (20:19) | family, wedding | By: Gina

I’ve emailed and texted Michelle about the wedding more than I care to admit today, and I have yet to hear back from her about any of it!  Where is she?  What if she’s fed up with me?  What if she decided I’m too hopeless to deal with anymore???  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Eh hem… I’ve narrowed down [...]

Mmmm, sushi!

6 August, 2010 (22:05) | family, wedding | By: Gina

Evan and I went out with my family tonight to Tokyo to celebrate our engagement and had a wonderful time.  Now I just need to remind Evan to call his family so we can go out to eat with them too.  Eventually we’ll need to have a get-together with both sides of the family, but [...]

Oh Dad…

4 August, 2010 (19:44) | family, wedding | By: Gina

After Evan proposed Monday, I took a picture of my ring on my hand and sent it to my parents and sisters with a little note explaining why my hand was so red (seriously, just 3 sips of champagne).  Mom, Anna, and Michelle got it right off, but Dad simply asked if that was the [...]

Dad – 1, Acura – 0

27 July, 2010 (22:07) | family | By: Gina

Over the weekend, Dad asked me and my sisters when we’d be free to trek up to the Acura dealership in Edmond with him.  We all decided on Monday, so off we went yesterday…Dad, Evan, my sisters, and me.  He wanted a black RDX with AWD and without the navigation system and they only had [...]

Finally, a much-needed day off (T minus 363!)

3 July, 2010 (23:08) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

My day off isn’t until tomorrow, but that meant I was able to go out tonight for a movie and dinner.  AND Michelle finally got to see the car! Now to go play some LEGO Harry Potter and rest before playing some more tomorrow

All alone!

Evan left this morning to head to his Dad’s for the rest of the week.  He won’t be back til Sunday, and I already miss him.  I have no idea what I’m gonna do with myself while he’s gone. Well, okay…that’s not totally true.  Jasmine’s heading over in a bit to watch True Blood, I’m [...]

Another sign we’re not “growing up”

1 June, 2010 (23:13) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

After dinner on Sunday, my sisters and I decided that the best way to celebrate Michelle’s 21st birthday (and all of us finally being legal drinking age) would be to take a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and drink butterbeer!  It’s not til November but because of busy schedules and work, we’ve [...]

My dad!

7 April, 2010 (18:52) | family | By: Gina

Dad received the bad news abruptly last week that his grandmother in Vietnam, age 103, had passed away.  He called me sobbing (I couldn’t understand what he was saying at first and was quite scared he was hurt himself), told me, and then called his brothers to break the news to them too.  My grandpa, [...]

Ye Olde Times

27 March, 2010 (21:46) | family | By: Gina

I hope we don’t get horribly sick from staying outside all afternoon at the medieval fair today in the cold, wind, and rain…  It was still a lot of fun though!

Daddy-o!

4 March, 2010 (20:54) | family | By: Gina

My dad seems to be feeling quite a bit better after his second trip to the cath lab.  He said he no longer has that heavy feeling in his chest, but he does still occasionally feel a little short of breath when he’s done working out (but I feel that way too…)  He also told [...]

Woohoo, a 3 day weekend!

26 February, 2010 (23:54) | family, home | By: Gina

Thanks to the call trade, I get to enjoy a 3 day weekend this weekend!  After getting some sleep this morning, the day was filled with shopping, dinner, dessert, and The Hangover.  Our “shoe-shopping” trip resulted in a jacket purchase, we ate way too much at dinner because of the awesome fresh guacamole, and then [...]

My dad

24 February, 2010 (20:33) | family | By: Gina

Back in October or November, my dad complained of some heaviness in his chest and (thankfully) actually listened to me when I said he needed to see his doctor.  Some EKGs, stress-testing, and imaging later, he ended up at St. Anthony’s for a trip to their cath lab and ended up getting stented in November.  [...]

Driving like lost teenagers

18 February, 2010 (22:06) | family, friends | By: Gina

Evan and I were in Jasmine’s car with her tonight and had some time to kill while waiting for my sister and her boyfriend, so we decided to drive around a bit.  Literally…in a tiny parking lot.  We just sorta meandered around the lot, making figure 8s and random, sometimes snarky, comments about the decor [...]

An impromtu girls’ day!

12 February, 2010 (20:08) | family, home | By: Gina

My sisters happened to be free this afternoon so they came up after class/work/meetings to hang out for a bit before we all went out to dinner together with the boys.  It was a lot of fun…except for how sleepy we all were by the time we left for dinner and how, at 8pm, we’ve [...]

Yay, normal-ish hours!

3 February, 2010 (22:21) | family, home | By: Gina

After a very long final day on wards, I get to enjoy an elective month with easy hours, a couple weekends off, and most importantly, lots of free time to spend with everyone. First, more furniture shopping with Evan.  We want a sectional for the living room.  More room to cuddle together and more room [...]
