Our "Carrie and Big" Wedding





Once upon a time......just kidding! Yesterday June 18, 2010 Peter and Monica got re-married. Let me tell you the reasons that led to this event. We have been waiting for our DR marriage certificate for a month now and after many calls and e-mails down there, we have realized that the marriage certificate might take awhile. No big deal.....however, at Monica's work she is already known as Monica Mennite and her work license is still under Monica Mejia. So you can start imagining the conflict. Medicaid, medicare, etc were really giving the practice problems about the whole name issue. For all those smarty pants out there, a marriage certificate is needed to change your name and the catholic certificate does not suffice!
The patient referrals were on hold until Monica filled out some paperwork and what name would she use. Monica decided to keep her maiden name for professional reasons, however, Peter quickly came up with a plan! Why not just get re-married, this time in the USA and in a courthouse! Monica had to jazz it up of course!So on the spur of the moment we tried to re-create "LOVE FEST 2010" ! (Our DR wedding is also known as LOVE FEST 2010 LOL) Monica used Amanda's veil as her something borrowed, she wore a polka dot dress, she wore her wedding shoes as her something blue, and Peter wore his wedding tie. We took off our rings, purchased some flowers and headed to Albany's courthouse to get married. After vows and a few tears (Yes Peter cried again), we were Re-married!
So now it's really official
Please enjoy pictures of our courthouse wedding!

Moral of the story: There are FUN things to do in Albany, GA!

A broom and the salt bottle

So we finally moved this weekend! How is it that we still have so much crap??? The move is really what inspired this blog story. I've been with Monica for some years now and during those years, we have had MANY moves, so I still don't now how Monica's superstitious "Colombian" beliefs still amuse me! According to Monica's family, when one moves, they leave behind the old broom and the bottle of salt. The reason is because you leave the bad luck from the old home (symbolized by the broom and salt bottle) and you buy new ones representing the good luck that will come in the new home. The funny part is that I can probably write a book regarding Monica and her family's superstitions (spiders, flies, pearls, dolls, glass breaking, the list goes on and on, but those other stories will be for future blogs). For now let's focus on the broom and the salt. It was our first night in the new place, monIca and I decided to grill out in celebration for a ha...

Gain or no Gain

So quick funny story.... It might be one of those "you had to be there stories" but I will try since it caused a lot of laughter for us. Last sunday we were at Sam's club buying our monthly stuff. We knew we needed detergent so we went to the cleaning aisle and looked for the gain detergent that we have been buying for many months now. It was such a great deal, we would get 133 onz for a little over 9 dollars. That's many many many loads of laundry. So as we walked down the aisle, I realized Peter had overlooked our great "gain" bottle. I yelled down the aisle "Pete it's right here, this is the one". Peter turns and smiles, holding in the laughter. He then said, well....now I know why our detergent has been sooooooo inexpensive. He then continued by saying, look at the bottle a little closer. We had been using the same bottle for such a long time now that I felt I knew every color, every letter, felt like a could describe the handle...
