Have been going absolutely crazy lately taking pictures. However, haven’t had the chance to share them with our FSI readers. So here’s some photos from Tiffany’s homecoming lunch — yup, she got a one-way ticket back to America! And the other slideshow is from the Petrella Family Easter Extravaganza — in Mrs. Petrella’s new home!

Back at the Teague compound Mother and Daddy threw a little family get-together for Jeanine as she heads off to visit Tiffany in Italy. Here’s the pics from the party!
A yearly family beach trip is something not to be missed. Rain or shine.
Although you may not be able to tell, it rained throughout the entire shooting of that video (well, if you don’t count the signature Mandy Robinson photos at the end :). Combine that with 13 people, a tiny pool, and an over-sized $1 beachball (thanks, Annie!), you’ve got yourself a rocking pool party.
And here’s the YouTube version that’ll load faster, but is a reduction in quality.
Lauren and I (sans Remy, sadly) are headed out this weekend for the yearly Petrella/Robinson/Teague beach trip to Seaside — cannot wait! Here’s a couple sets of photos you may haven’t seen yet to keep you occupied…
Jeanine & Kemble’s B-day party
Tech vs. Samford
Look for more photos (and hopefully some video) here after we get back!
On Thursday, my first day without Josh around, I came home after trying to connect to my school’s wireless (unsuccessful). I then realized that I had throughly confused my computer, who then refused to connect to the home wireless. (Not an Apple, obviously.)
Very frustrating, mainly because I know Josh could have fixed it in a heartbeat. However, I can still connect via wire, so I am not complaining. Furthermore, I’m still feeling guilty that I live in America after seeing some of those Idol Gives Back clips. No wireless, no problem.
Then my first weekend without Josh, I left on Friday to go to Mom’s, where Katie, John, Mary Ellen, and Caroline babysat me. (Thanks, girls.)
I came back on Sunday just in time to read up before small group (so it’s fresh on the mind) when I walked into my bathroom.
The last calm thought I had was that the floors were especially shiny that night.
Then I stepped into a puddle of water that spread throughout the bathroom floor and had formed a small stream into the hallway. (So small, I missed it on my way in.)
The toilet was completely full. And had, evidently, overflooded.
Then comes the best part.
I went into our pantry/storage/laundry room to get the mop, and stepped into another puddle of water.
The nasty toilet water (it may have been clear, but I wasn’t fooled) had leaked through the tiled bathroom, under the shower, and into the storage room. Now two rugs were soaked, not to mention a pile of darks. (Don’t worry, those were washed twice, Ultra Clean, Level 12)
However.
Let it be known, I did not cry. I (sort of) calmly called Josh and then the Maintenance Man, (okay, fine, I called my mom too) who unfortunately didn’t have the necessary parts on a Sunday evening to fix said toilet.
I went to small group single, germy, tardy, and unprepared since I never was able to read the chapter for this week. (But I finally got around to mopping the bathroom and storage room.)
I mostly went to learn and grow. A miniscule part of me went because they had a working restroom. TWO even. Spoiled Americans.
Josh & Lauren got married in the summer of '05 in Marietta, GA. Now, they live in Kirkland, WA just outside of Seattle. Josh is a designer for Google, and Lauren's prepping life for their first baby, due in March 2009. Remy, their dog, is finding things to chew on and howling with the sirens. This is their site where it all happens.
