Around this time, we also acquired a Scooter from my aunt and uncle, but they live in San Antonio and we weren't really sure how to pick it up.
Soooo... we decided if Dee Dee (his girl friend) wasn't going to come to us, we were going to go to her... and get the scooter.
I was super excited to leave for our trip, even though we left 8 at night for a 7 hour drive, I was going to meet Dann's girl friend! With weight watchers, I'm starting to look pretty good so I was especially excited to go on our mini-vacation and meet new people!
The day before we left, my voice started to get a little scratchy, and by the time we arrived in San Antonio at four in the morning, I sounded like the love child of Fran Drescher and a troll. We hit the hay, and at 7 I woke up and my eye was hurting so I dashed to the bathroom.
It was bright red and swollen half-way shut. So before I have really met my brother's mystery girl friend, I not only sounded like Fran Drescher and Troll jr. but I look like Quasimodo!!! It was mortifying. I felt like I should hunch over and shuffle out of the bathroom shouting "Sanctuary!"
I ran to our bed, and squawked, "Barry, look at me! I'm a monster!" But before I could run out of the house, jump in the car, and hide under a draw bridge with my fellow trolls, Dee Dee walked in and we met. And I like her.
And after she adjusted to my horror movie character imitation, I think she liked me too.
It was a good trip.

Krystle- you crack me up. I love reading your blog. A love child between Fran Drescher and a troll- too funny. I am sorry about your sore throat and puffy eye though- from the looks of your facebook pictures the eye at least went down. Sounds like a fun and busy trip!
Funny girl! You are so witty! I love you! I'm blogging again. Check it out. I'm (slowly but surely) updating an entire year in pictures :) I've made it from Feb. to June so far. haha. Love you!!!
Krystle you could be a great writer. I'm glad you had a fun time in San Antonio.
OMG!!! You had an eventful trip to S.A. sounds fun. I like S.A. I totaly have a sickness that sounds like that. I have a really bad sinus infection, that has started to go into my eyes, so my whole face including eyelids were swullen. It was awful, i know what you mean, i had to work like that. I hope you are doing well. Sounds like you guys are. We miss you guys tons.. We always wonder what our lifes would be like if we stayed in carlsbad. We think we would have had fun... but we are very happy here, so its ok.
