PIG ROAST!

So yesterday was the pig roast... and like I predicted was TONS of fun! Everyone had a great time! Today is relax day... everyone just takin it easy... But unfortunately tonight will be our last night in Massachusetts, come monday morning we will be hitting the road.

Here's the plan... go straight through to Colorado. Stop relax take a little break. Then we're cutting down to Zion National Park hang out there for a day. Then we're taking a restroom and snack break in oatman, Az maybe give some donkeys some carrotts. Then we will arrive in Redlands, CA either late thursday night or friday night. Once we're done in Redlands we will be heading up to our new home in McKinleyville, CA.
But until then here are some pictures from the pig roast... hope you enjoy = )

It's just crazy to me how time flys by...

PIG ROAST TODAY!!!

So today is the annual pig roast at the Hollenbeck house! I am VERY excited for today. Yesterday we all hung out and helped with getting everything prepared for this event. But nothing compared to the 150 people that will be there tonight hanging out. I was going through pictures and looking on Carly's (sticker's sister) facebook and found a picture of me, grace, and sticker. and LOVED it. Again it shows all the personality this girl has.

But I will definitley be posting some pictures later of the festivities that shall take place today!

Hope your excited = )

FYI that wonderful jacket I am wearing was given to me by my wonderful fiance Sticker... it's his class sweater (80-09 was his class' number) the back of it was designed by one of his classmates... def. is my new favorite sweatshirt.

Grace "peanut pie" Marie

We had the honor of watching Sticker's neice Grace (peanut pie) yesterday... well words can not describe how awesome this little girl is... so here's a video for all to see!

We also painted...

and she looked at me like I was crazy when I used my fingers instead of the paint brush...

May 2009

To start things off on May 20, 2009 I flew out to Elizabeth City, NC to reunite with my fiance Mike (sticker) St.Cyr to watch him graduate from "A" School. It was awesome being able to see him again and be by his side!

The cabin we stayed in (on base) was AMAZING...

Once settled in I realized hmm how are 7 people supposed to fit in here?

VERY SMALL! It had 1 bedroom, a loft upstairs that even a midget would hit their head standing up, and a futon in the "living room".

But because I was so excited to see Sticker and his family I decided to let things just come together on their own and enjoy this time with everyone.

The Graduation was boring but good. Sticker graduated top of his class (which means he was either the smartest guy in class or the biggest butt kisser, but i'm going to go with smartest because I know that besides my dad, sticker is the most brilliant person I've ever met.

and all in all i'm just greatful to be back beside him!

Family & Friends

So I have decided to start a blog.
I was inspired by my cousin rachel because although we never talk on the phone or get to see eachother. I just go to her blog and I can see how she's doing.

So with this blog I will keep family posted on how life is in Humboldt County, CA.

I hope you enjoy = )
