good summery evening!
just decided to share a quick post. work is the same...i have done my probation time. so thats over and done with. but no health insurance. appearntly according to the guy who handles their account i cant be added on till open enrollment in august. which is a bunch of bs. needless to say as of today my two supervisors havent heard from him. im spost to get insurance as of july 1st. grrr. but it might not be till august 1st. which as long as i have it before we leave for the keys ill be happy.
speaking of vacations, this weekend kicks off robbie and mine mini vacations! lol. orignally we wer spost to be gone in august for 8days to the keys. then he got excepted to a work class in atalanta, so we decided to go down the 17th of july (his class is 7/20-7/24) and have a romantic get away. since we havent been away since luray and the keys seems so far away! well then we found out that we are both off july 3rd. ok so three day weekend...great! philadelphia here we come. we leave the morning of the 3rd early and will be back sunday night. its really funny. and we arent paying for hotels. we are using points and eating cheap. i have all but a few dollars left to pay off the keys trip. i told robbie i would pay for the airline, car, and house since hes buying a house. well at least trying to.
congrads to kat! she had a beautiful baby boy this past friday!!! yay! this past weekend was really busy for us. saturday we headed from my house to middleburg for robbies grandmothers bday. everyone was there minus kiki. we talked about her trip and i got to meet one of robbies aunts, sarahlee, who i havent got to met yet. she was a bunch of laughs and tons of fun! robbies mom and grandmother seemed happy to see me and were smiling more towards me that ive seen or felt since we started dating. which is good. and i hope to continue to build a relationship with them. sunday we had the linganore winefestival. my highschool friend kat (yes another one. i have one more acutally!) came with her boyfriend for two hours, and one of my godaunt and uncles came also. we hung out with both couples. started with kat and her man then ended with aunt robyn and uncle eddie. hearing my aunt and uncle say how much they miss my real uncle (bryans father/my moms brother) really ment alot to me, but i do see how much eddie misses him. they were really close. all my goduncles are related (close family friends to my family) and they all grew up together. so when my uncle marc died it hit his buddies, my uncles, really hard. and ive heard a few times how its hard to look at me since i look so much like him. bryan looks more like mom. but as uncle eddie said on sunday how proud marc would be of me.
kiki is still doing good.and is meeting up with somoene else this week i think and leaving the two guys shes been riding with. the new person wants to take their time and take pictures. the two she has been riding with has seen everything and appearntly wants to get to ca asap. it is what it is. shes safe and happy and healthy and thats all that matters.
well im going to run. my thoart is killing me from shouting over the music from the festival on sunday.

Quicky Post
Hey Everyone!!!!
Finally real weather has arrived! I hate the winter and love the summer! Robbie and I have been outside when ever possible pending rain of course. This past weekend, Saturday got cancelled. I did manage to get my nails done, however his mother cancelled for us to go to Middleburg to do computer stuff for her. With the rain it was ok bc that means Roamie (her dog) would have been Frogging for me. Yuck. So we headed back to the apartment and chilled. We didnt go to the evening winefestival either bc people either cancelled or didnt call to say there were or werent going. Whatever. So we had Noodle soup and a bottle of wine! Awsome. Sunday was a laid back day. We slept in and then headed to Mt.Vernon for the day. Never been there. We got to see the Mansison and road the boat. Which was the Spirit of Mt. Vernon. The suprise about the boat, was that was the boat that Robbie and I had our first date on! I was so happy when I realized it. And a thought passed through my blonde head....did he plan this.....could a question be poped on the boat. But nope. We then walked around and finally headed to the Manision, where we waited 1hr and 45mins to get into. By the time we left we had to get a refund on our tickets to go the Mill down the road. Oh well. I dont know if we will go back since on the way down past the "Mixing Bowl" we almost got into an accident. Appearntly in VA you are spost to make a lane out of the shoulder to get to the exit that is still .6miles away. Meaning someone did it, then when the exit lane came about someone else almost creamed us (not happening thanks to Robbie's quick thinking), Robbie honked his horn and flicked the lights. As we got off the ramp onto the road the guy pulled up next to us, and flicked us off. Which in turn with my anger problem did the same and called him names that I wont be posting here. He then tried to spit into my open window. There are just no words. I hate Va drivers so much! I swear. Robbie is the only VA driver I know who actually has some kind of sense!
We are back to house hunting. Robbie either got out bidded or was ignored for one house. The selling realtor wouldnt return our realtor's phone calls. So tomorrow hopefully Robbie will go see a few houses and maybe put offers on a few short sales or one that is a normal sale. At this point, I realized that I might not get my 3-4bed 2-3bath house. I do know that whatever we get we will have to put some sweat equality in it. I'm ready to do that. It might be kind of fun doing it with the man I plan to live with for the rest of my life. But seriously how many of you can see me doing manual labor. IE: laying hardwood floors, painting, building a staircase down from a deck, or laying a new patio. Trust me there will be pictures! Robbie has faith in me. I always have my mom and god uncles to help too.
Kiki is still biking across the USA. She's doing good. She is now biking in the early moring (4am) till around 10am since she is now in Kanass and its getting hotter. In Germany I found out today via email that Petra (Robbie's stepmom) had a canceris thing removed from her body in May. She had cancer a few years ago and beat. She told me its nothing to be concerned about and that they got it all out and will have a check up in three months to make sure. It saddens me that they are all the way over there and we can't be there for them. I really bonded with her over and love her to death! I hope she pulls through this and is cancer free and able to except us into the house next fall. I dont want to go over there if she is weak from theorpy (again we dont know yet if she's going to have to go through radation and all that) and she having to cook and everything like she did while we were there for Christmas. She took such good care of us! So please keep her in your prayers.
Robbie and I are going to be out of town every other weekend for the next month!!! It just worked out like that. The 4th of July weekend we will be in Philadephia, Pa. Two weeks later July 16th we will be in Atlanta (I come home Sunday while Robbie stays down there for his class. He comes home that Friday night). Then August 1st we leave for the Keys for 8days!!! So far after that we dont have anywhere to go. But hopefully that means we will have a house to work on and to move into.
Ok thats it for tonight. I have to finish packing since I leave VA tomorrow and be back in MD tomorrow night.
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!!!

havent updated in a while....
good evening everyone.
well its friday!!!! yah!!!!!! time to roll out the weekend. robbie and i are heading to middleburg tomorrow for a few hours to take something to his mom then going to an evening wine festival. still up in the air of who is going. but its all good. then sunday we plan to lay by the pool. hopefully it will be warm enough.
well on to the house thing. we lost both houses. one we were the 2nd offer to be considerd. however the one that we really wanted we didnt even get a chance. our realtor submitted our offer then never heard again from the selling agent. after three weeks, our realtor finally looked on a website that they can only access and saw that it was sold. our realtor called and emailed almost every day to see where our offer was and never heard from the selling realtor. wtf! so we are now back to looking again. its getting to be crunch time bc rates are starting to go up and also prices. its getting alittle nerve racking. we were hoping to know something by atlanta on july 17th or at the latest august before we leave for the keys. so keep us in your prayers that we find something.
work is the same. they did change my hours to 8:30-5:30. which doesnt make a difference in the traffic. i do get some time in the evening when i get home, and dont feel as through ive lost the whole day. i do have my head hunter in va still looking for me. i went on one interview last week and we were sure i was going to get the job, but then a girl who had tempted there before literally came in at the last minute and stole the job from me. whatever. it is what it is. and i guess i should be thanking my lucky stars that at least i have a job.
so heres the real news. as many of you all know that a few weeks ago the infumise john and stef crossed the final line with me. after the whole thing that they stood me and robbie up after waiting for them for 4hrs to have dinner with them. so lastnight i told robbie that i think he should call john. i know robbie missed his friend and was upset about it. and that if john didnt answer his phone or call back that we would put it in the past. so robbie left a voicemail and we went out side on our balcony and had some wine. well there was a knock at the door about 30mins later and john was there. so being polite i invited him in and even offered him a glass of my wine. after talking for a few robbie had to use the bath room which left me and john by our selves. he then tells me that his gf brenda and stef want to speak to me about the voicemail that i had left thah night on johns phone. it was basicaly that i told him what he did was rude and ive kept my mouth shut long enough. if you know me i can sound very harsh and can get down right nasty when im pissed off beyond words. when john said that i said oh really how about an apology for calling me a whore at out back. he laughs. wtf! he said that no body said that and i must have misheard something. lucky at that time robbie came back. and john left shortly after. then later today john called robbie and the two of them talked some more. robbie told him that he (robbie) was very upset about the whole four hour thing and stuff. and that robbie was really upset that they did what they did. john said that they had no intentions of doing that and that they were going to invite us to see a movie that night but after my voice mail decided not to. so once i got home today robbie told me what they talked about. and said that maybe i should be a bigger person and aplogize for the way i came across on the voice mail. that i should explain why i was upset with them. i said oh well john says now that they never called me a whore that maybe i miss understood something. robbie said that maybe i should tell john and stef that the reasons im mad. and not just asume that everyone knows what upsets me. ok well lets see i know damn right well that they called me a whore (i really need to get a tape recorder), two john was a jackass at dinner another night insulting all kinds of people. for one thing you can say stuff in public and not know who is listening and if they dont like what they hear, something could happen once you leave that place. anywho after debating it, i agreed to go over and aplogize just for my tone on the vm. however not for the reason behind it. and that robbie would tell them what has upseted me. i figured that it would be better he talk then me. so i grabbed a bottle of wine (some good faith kind of thing) and we headed over to their apartment. after knocking and waiting for a minute, no answer. so robbie called john and invited him to go to coldstone with us. needless to say its 10:30pm while im blogging and no call back. another part of my agreement with robbie is that if this ever happens again either next week or months or years down the road, i am allowed to speak my mind, probably worse then what i have done, and never allow them around us. i still cant believe that john had the nerve to say to me that one his gf and stef want to speak to me about the vm. ok that vm was for john, i never said their names in it. and then for him to say i miss understood what they said. that no one ever called me a whore. nice try i know what i heard and why in the hell would i lie about that kind of stuff! as far as im concerned im done with these people. if i have to hang out with them or see them im was raised to be polite to people. so we shall see what happens.

rainy day update
hello everyone
just thought i type a quick blogg before robbie and i head out on this rainy afternoon. house hunting is going. robbie has put an offer on two houses which are short sales. but we are still looking. on one of the houses that robbie put an offer on, the selling agent faxed our realtor an addemdum on the house. it basically says that since its a short sale, if there are tendents that are living there and paying rent (that arent the actual owners) it would be robbies responsiblity to help them find housing, not allowed to kick them out when we close, we have to give them 90day notice, and if they already paid rent in advance, then robbie has to refund it. WTF! yea ill get right on that! needless to say he didnt sign it. then those same people were spost to meet with their selling realtor to go over offers yesterday. they didnt show up. ok enough is enough! but we really want this house. it has a garage and it is an end unit. the other house is the second one in but it is in the original neighborhood that we liked when i was let go by hopkins. so its a toss up.
today is a nice day (minus rain). i left work at 1:30 this afternoon since i need a break. and robbie came home early also. we are just chilling right now and then getting ready to meet a met up group thing at one of the local pubs. tomorrow we head to mt. vernon for a while then have a evening wine festival. sunday is a chill day and maybe hit the driving range. im trying to learn to hit a golf ball. since john isnt talking to robbie.
which brings me to another thing. those two people down here john and stefanie are no longer speaking to me and robbie. after the whole whore thing, there were other rude things said by john and stefanie standing me up for a wine festival, last weekend was the last straw. last weekend robbie and i were spost to be in md for the weekend but when we decided to put an offer on a house, we headed to va to do it. after putting the offer in we stoped in leesburg to get gas. john called asking if we wanted to have dinner that night around 730 (mind you its only 330). after discussing it i told robbie ill give him one more chance but if he says anything rude or i dont like im not longer keeping my mouth shut. so robbie and i go to the driving range, and then home depot to look at stuff for a house. in the middle of looking at paint colors at 7pm, robbie getts a call from john. they arent going to dinner, they had been at a carnival all day and have been eating. GREAT! its not 7pm and we are starving. we leave home depot and on the way out ive decided that ive had enough of this bs. i call johns phone and get his vm. i tell him im sick of him treating robbie like trash and ive kept my mouth shut long enough and thats he a rude person. needles to say robbie was beyond mad. so we decided to grab something quick and head back to md. we havent heard from them since. so the reason im learning to play golf is bc john used to ask robbie to go play but hasnt. johns excuses have been the he didnt know if robbie was in va, or if he was busy, or if i was done. ummm last time i checked theres this thing called a phone...you use it to call people and ask them that kind of stuff. whatever. it will probably be another few weeks till im able to hit the ball some kind of distance before we head the real green.
this past monday i got the pleasure of dining with my bestfriend amber. we had steamed crabs since shes craving them. they were great, but really expensive. it was great to be able to go out with her and talk. get caught up on everything about both families and what we have been up to. im glad i have friends like amblery esp bc now i have a new friend kat up in ny! which is awsome esp when it comes to ganging up on amber! :)
so for now thats basically it here. CONGRADS TO BENNY AND JENNA!!! they got married last weekend! CONGRADS TO AMBERLY AND CHRIS!!!! they are pregnant again!!! this will be ambers fourth baby! more power to the sister!
