Catching up again

Well I have been fairly unreliable lately, but things have been uber busy the past two weeks. School during the day and something almost every night - Eric has London meetings, I have drumline and choir, we have football games - it never ends. This weekend is Genni's birthday party and after that is over I'll feel slightly less stressed. It's all stuff we like to do, it just gets a little pressing sometimes when everything we are into wants us in the same week. Next week I have drumline Monday and Wednesday, Auditions for the Fall Musical Monday and Tuesday, Eric has the Lord Leutenant of Greater London coming to formally invite the band to the parade, Thursday I have choir, Saturday is a competition for the band, Sunday is church. Luckily Genni is good at tagging along to most things - I don't know about auditions but everything else she will be at with me. Oh yeah, I think Eric has another London meeting on Monday too. Fun times for us!

So here is interesting news, Kevin called me today and told me he saw my cousin Edward Savoy (not my brother, my cousin, different person) again and that side of the family is trying to connect with me. He gave Kevin a name for me of his sister Mary who lives in Florida but uses Facebook and now we are connected. Her father was my father's brother, and she has three brothers and her mother is still alive too (her father, my uncle it would have been, died a long time ago, I think before I was born even) - so I'm looking forward to meeting some of my father's family and connecting with them.

Well, I'm keeping it short tonight, I'm exhausted and have cleaning to do tomorrow after work as well as cooking for Genni's party. My bed is calling me!

OMG your daughter is so beautiful.Yes my dad passed away in 1971 before you were born. All I remember is Uncle Ray (your dad) telling the family that he got married, he stopped by my moms several times after only met your mom once. I also remember your dad talking to my mom that he was going to be a dad. Then I do not know what happened from there. How old were you when your dad passed away? Well of to work will talk soon.
