Gerlie arrived right on time--first time EVER

hahahahahaa--at 12:30pm on Thursday afternoon. We have been having a blast ever since!!!
I have been having her meet people in small doses since Thursday evening and she has been doing just fine. She has not shed a tear since she got here and been very upbeat and fiesty. We are getting to spend good amounts of time alone and having the most wonderful conversations!!!
I have been showing her around town a little as we are going various places. She seems to really enjoy seeing the places that I grew up and where I work. She has already just about taken over the household, but is a little apprehensive about rearranging the cupboards
I think it's because she is focusing on the closet in the bedroom and the drawers for our clothing and stuff 
We went shopping yesterday with my Cousin Brittany and bought some cute outfits for some of the more formal stuff that we have planned in the next few weeks. She and Brit had SO much fun trying on EVERY outfit in the store oiiiiiiiiii... I was bored to DEATH!!! HAhahahahahahahaa But, it's so good to see her and Brittany get along so well! Brittany was beside herself with joy when Gerlie asked her to be her maid of honor! Gerlie made that decision herself, which makes it even more special 
Today we are having a bar-b-que to meet some more of my friends and people from work. We're getting ready to go to Sam's Club to get some party food and favors.
I can't tell you guys--because most of you already know
--how good a feeling it is to finally have my pal here with me! So far, it's everything I had hoped for and MORE!!! We get along in a very natural way and she is just a pleasure to be around 
I will keep posting as things progress
Thanks to all my friends here for all the support and advice. You guys truly are pals too ;P
Be nice to my newest Uncle! I told him everyone here can behave except Hamilton
HAHahahhahahahahahahaahaa
Keep the Faith Fellow Travellers!

PS: I also know that Alma is here safely as well. She contacted Gerlie yesterday to say that her and Nox got home safely
I sure hope they are having as much fun as we are!! Hahahahahah
