Engagement and the Adventure of Everyday LIfe

Probably most all of you have heard--if you haven't, you seriously need to get with it ;)--Kevin is engaged to Darleen. She is a total sweetheart! It's just so hard to believe that my brother is engaged! I'm going to miss the man ... :)And then moving on to something very much less exciting ... everydayness! :P We haven't really been doing anything earth shaking--unless you count cleaning--so here's a some pictures of our normal life. Though, I don't think that anybody is really "normal." I mean, who defines normal? Normal is relative. My, I am one for random rabbit trails. :)

Anyhow ... dinner table rush. :) And then a game of LIFE with Coke, or Richard, or Ricky, or Doc, or Hurley, or whatever you like to call him. :)On Saturday Mom, Dad, and I ran off to the Fullerton Aburitum (I doubt that's spelled right). It's a lovely place with benches and gazeboes and trees and all sorts of lovely, romantic things. My brothers wouldn't be caught dead there. :) I suppose that Dad's mellowed out with the years and doesn't mind it anymore. Anyways, I think it's a lovely place; but then again, I am a girl, so that might have something to do with it ...
Light at the end of the tunnel.And a few pictures of Mum and Dad.I think this is hilarious! Dad thought that they must have a picture with the pumpkin, as a joke, of course. :) Mom looks like she's thinking, "I don't know about this, Bill ..." lolAren't the fall leaves simply beautiful? I love fall ...
A lovely gazebo ... I know, I know, you can definitely pin me as a "dreamy, romantical girl." You might as well say it. :D

I had to hear about Kevin's engagement from Justin sending me a chat transcript. Pretty degrading, but still exciting news. ;)

Richard is called "Coke"? I should call Stephen "Mountain Dew". But suicide is wrong, so I won't.

@ Kayla--You want to see more?? Sweet girl you are! :) If you post some more, I'll post some more. ;) Deal?

@ Kyle--LOL at your comment! :) Glad you heard about it someway. :D And, yep, sometimes we call Ricky "Coke" in place of some other nicknames, though it's kind of become a thing of the past ... ;)

Hey Emily!

Thanks for the honorary mention! :) I'm truly blessed to be engaged to your brother! Did I mentioned, I'm "somewhat" head over heels in love with him! :) (Somewhat is defined by a huge amount!)

Oh, on the pictures! I'm impressed. You do have a photograper's eye!!

Love, Darleen

ROFL!!!!! Em, you're soo witty! I loved this post, and yeah I should totally "get with it." I heard Kevin was engaged(not that it shocked me) from Justin while playing Octopus on a Wednesday. I wish I had an older brother who would get engaged....then I'd finally have something interesting to post about! (Ok, so maybe that desire stemmed from a wrong motivation.) Anyways, Lots of love and hugs and kisses! BTW, Did I mention how much I loved this post??
