 I tossed and turned all night.

 I tried to wake Devin up to play tennis but he didn't budge.

 I was the first one there, Dad and Barry came 5 minutes later,

 and Todd 10 minutes later. Dad and I lost to Barry and Todd 6-3. Then Barry and Dad lost to Todd and I 6-2. Barry left to take Tara to her friends and then to Nat's house.

 At this time a guy from Toronto named Todd asked to play with us, he went on my team. Todd and Dad won 6-2. He was a nice guy, left with his wife after the first game. Then I played Todd and Dad and won 6-2; then Todd played Dad and I and we lost 6-4. We played a lot of tennis, about 4 hours.

We went back to Dad's and Barry's house for a spell and said our goodbyes. Todd and I drove off together and talked for about a half hour of business. I came home at about 4pm and relaxed the rest of the day.

Apparently Rick and Bonnie had contacted Todd and may be seeing him in the next week. Dad, Missy and I have a planned trip to go see Joel and family in Alabama next week.

May 29th, 2007-  At about 2pm; Devin and I went to the Historical Center near the Library in Orlando. I wanted to find out about their Genealogy services and to find what I could on microfilms, etc. Though when we got there it was 5 floors.

 Going in to the elevator I noticed that the 5th floor was to search for historical records, though when I pressed the button to go there it would only allow me to go to 1-4 floors. Devin and I quickly found out we were in a tourism history center which taught of Orlando's past.

 Although very interesting, not what I came there for. On one of the floors there was the old Courthouse (Courtroom B). Apparently the place had quite a history. Ted Bundy (Serial Killer) had his name scratched into the defendants table, though no proof of this definitely being his doing.

Also there are stories of a ghost that runs through the stairways next to the courtroom. Fortunately for me, I don't believe in ghosts so us being alone walking through didn't bother me, even hiding in corners to give Devin a hard time.

On my way out of the historical center I asked about the top floor; I was told the Genealogical Center was in the Library next door, the top floor was mainly for land plot records of old.

May 30th, 2007-  Missy has an appointment at 1:45pm to Dr. Ricardo Lopez on 4401 Orange Ave S. This is our first visit to this doctor who is really close.

Jamieson Journal 29

They did a normal check up, everything seems well. The excitement begins to set in just a little more, I feel our anxious will come much more later.

Our next appointment for her are June 14 and 15th where she will have blood work and an ultrasound, we should know a lot more then.

We have decided to leave to visit Jay and the family in Alabama in the early morn of June 1st, this will give us an extra day.

June 1st, 2007-  Missy and Gary arrive at dad's house at about 3:30am to head to Thorsby, Alabama to visit family. We saw Barry for a minute, whom let us in the neighborhood.

Dad had figured out the route we were taking. After the first 10 minutes Missy got sick in the back-seat though recovered quickly by sleeping most of the trip. During the drive we ran into a lot of smoke coming from the fires that have been hitting North Florida and parts of Georgia.

The drive took 9 hours; Gary drove, we arrived at Jay's work about 11:30am. From there we followed him back to the house. Jay went back to work to finish out his day, at the house was Melinda, Sam, Joshua, and Haley. We were glad to have gotten there to see everyone.

Jay got back around 6pm, we all spent time together, Melinda made a wonderful meal off the grill; pork, scalloped potatoes amongst other things. The children are getting much bigger, and they are very well-behaved kids.

 Probably the most affectionate children in the family constantly giving well needed hugs to their grandpa and uncle Gary and aunt Missy.

Haley fell asleep on Gary has she did in October during the visit then. Dad went to bed quite late; around mid-night and the rest of us talked for a couple hours and went to bed.

June 2nd, 2007-  Jay had to work this Saturday, so around noon the rest of us; Melinda, Sam, Joshua, Haley, Missy, Dad, and myself (Gary) headed to see Uncle Al, Aunt Mary and a bunch of our cousins who live about 15-25 minutes from Jay's house.

First we stopped at the drugstore to get a few things and then to Sonic fast food to grab some hamburgers which we all ate outside the restaurant. From there we went and saw Al, Mary, Alana, Justin, Brenda, Veronica and many of the children at the "compound" which they all live near each other.

 We all talked a lot; it is always nice seeing this group, we have grown close to this side of the family through out the years. This is our only cousins that are close to age to us and we have spent a lot of time with them throughout our lives.

 While we were there I took a trip with Brenda on the "Gator" which is a small motor vehicle which goes about 15 MPH though can get through confined spaces. She drove me where Justin was; he just purchased 45 Acres of land less than a mile from where he is living.

There is a creek that flows through his property, this is a new buy for him and a great one. He now has plenty of time in his life to build that up and create a future world for his children in that area. It was an interesting drive back in the woods where we found him; Dustin; Justin and Brenda's littlest rode with us and enjoyed every minute of it.

She took me through places I wasn't sure a vehicle any size could go through. We did get to Justin in there who was proudly taking advantage of his new land. I skipped some rocks in the pond there with Sierra who was with her dad Justin.

 Dad and Missy and the rest talked at the "compound", when I got back we stayed for a couple hours enjoying the company. Missy and Melinda left first to get food for dinner; dad and I left shortly after. Jay got home around 6pm we ate Bratwurst which was delish.

That night we all played Bingo, which is a game on TV that people at home can participate to and possible win money themselves. Dad got Bingo on the last ticket and is entered in a $50,000 raffle; we were all excited about seeing dad win. We talked a lot this night.
