How’d They Know We Were Lebanese? Oopa!
If you want to know what my family is like, just watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding. We’re not like that to a ‘T,’ but we’re pretty darn close. When that movie first came out, we went with my mom and several of her cousins and their families. It was a blast, and it was a good thing that there weren’t many other people in the theater because my family was pretty loud (watch the movie - you’ll understand). What can I say - we’re just an exciting family, and know how to have a lot of fun.
This past Saturday, I helped my cousin and her husband move into their new house. It was fun for me, since I got to hang out with a couple of my cousins as we moved them. It’s even funnier because my cousin’s mother (my aunt) reminds me of the mother from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, so we’re always cracking up when she’s around. Moving is also fun because it’s a challenge playing “Tetris” as my cousin put it, trying to efficiently pack the truck to fit as much as possible, while keeping things safe during the move.
When the dust had settled in the new home, most of their things were safely in it, and just needed to be moved to their proper places. It was finally starting to look like a home by the end of the day when the doorbell rang. My cousin went to answer her door, and it was the neighbor across the street. She was really nice as she welcomed my cousin to the neighborhood, and had brought over a welcoming gift.
They chatted for a few minutes, and when my cousin came back in the house, nobody could believe their eyes. In her hands was a freshly baked bundt cake! There was no flower in the middle (that would have been TOO perfect), but it was a bundt cake nevertheless. What were the odds of THAT happening?! Oopa!

Haha…you guys didn’t tell me about the bundt cake!! That’s amazing! It stinks not living at home anymore…I miss all of the good stories!
you’re welcome back home anytime. just don’t bring any boys with you.
Come on, you know me better than that…I’ll won’t bring any home until I’m engaged!
i think an arranged marriage would be much easier on all you girls. let me know if you’re interested.
Arranged marriage, huh? I don’t know if I could trust your judgement!!
my judgement is excellent. just give me the word and i’ll get to work finding you a man your father will love as the second brother you’ve never had. (except for josh).
You could pick my husband as long as it’s Zac Efron!!!
he’s not man enough for you. let me do the picking the way it’s supposed to be done….my way.
