Martin Clan
We are a group of cousins (firsts, seconds, thirds, fourths...) who at our great-grandmothers funeral decided to stay in touch despite the hurdles of distance and lifes business! Through the example of our Great Grandparents, Grandparents and Parents we have learned the importance of family. So may the lines and (typed) keys of communication remain busy! I love you guys!!!

This weekend was incredible and all I can really say is WOW!
To be honest... I really didn't expect to like Joe- just b/c I know how very picky I am -but he was amazing! I've never had so much fun with someone or felt so at ease! I pretty much had the best weekend ever. So, meeting my internet interest-- was nothing but fun. So Ryan- put your 31 year old single "r" jokes to rest- b/c I have a boyfriend:-) A very cute, sweet one at that!!! I'm WAY HAPPY~ and seriously I can't stop smiling:-)!
Oh I'm so glad to hear that!! Way to go R ;-)
I love him already - in an "auntly" sort of way. (R has inspired me to creative wordsmithing - sorry Laura!)
Maria is cheering for the new blonde!
Yae! 'R' So happy to hear about the 'great' weekend with Joe! You definitely deserve someone fun! He looks like a hottie to me!
That's okay char...I am getting used to it. Among the Jims all things are defended,re-named and put in warm and fuzzy categories like"creativity"
So just go ahead and "create" new words all you like and I will never draw attention to them again!
As for R's new romance...May he
BE THE ONE for her! I'm sure the Blog Will Tell!

Brah, brah, brah, brah, arr dis brogging about first date make me feer sickry. Dis "intanet joe" guy not rook so big dear compare to me. Den again I expect very rittre from girr who "back-stabbing dear-breaka". I fink I may rike dis "intanet joe", he rook "A-Numba 1", rook maybe too good fo "r". Dissapointment come to him very quickry if he not watch back carefurry. Arso, make no dear wiff "r", she not keep her side. I have "dirty raundry" to prove it.
Backstabbing?? "arren" - don't be spreading false rumors on the blog just b/c I wouldn't date you! Hey, I have an idea--- since I'm no longer in need of dates- I know of someone who is! Our cute sweet little cutie-pie Maria!!! (sorry Maria)!
I'm not sure when Joe will be out to visit-- I'll probably be going out to Michigan in May though;-)
R, Melandrick are coming May 16, so save some time around then, OK? Visit eoj early in May is my advice. I know that means so much to you.
Laura, I'm scared - am I losing the bitter in my bittersweet? Let's hope I don't become as nauseating as UJ was there for a while.
Ok, two fings I try and make crear in mind... First fing, is "r" dumma dan box of rocks? She suggest I have date wiff "Maria" when I aready have runch date wiff my new ruv "mar aka". I no two timing rooser rike "r". I royar to onry one girr at a time.
Ok, numba two fing... I wirr admit dat Engrish Ranguage not so goodry undastood fo me, but I try to rearn from Honorabre Martin Cran broggers. Maybe "aunt char" can exprain to me what da heck dis "Merandrick" is arr about.
Of course!!! I'm all about seeing my litte MelBell and Rick! I can't wait for them to come!!!
Hey Reb! Sounds like he's a keeper!! You make a cute couple!!!
Keep us posted...life gets pretty dull around here! He's cheek-pinching-cute!...and he must have a little Norwegian in him.
To poor Allen (who does not know what he's in for with Maria), Melandrick is like Jimandchar, and Jeffandlaura, and Merilyandbob, perhaps even Joeandrebeka. Couples' names tend to blend together. You may have already figured this out with your quick mind.
R, let me say that I think yous are an awesome couple. The words "sizzle sizzle" come to mind when I see that one pic of you two. I have one question for you eve, when you saw him were you wearing "make-up" or not?
Well, I must say that the pictures are great! That one with the sky and water is so gorgeous! You should make it a postcard! I'm so excited about all of this!!!!
OK, now Rick is just dying for more details of the Sunday dinner and Josh's "finer dinner manners and 'sorted' inappropriate conversation." Do expound
Actually Grams-- he's mostly Irish! Although yeah, he definately looks Norwegian! A few people at church thought he looked like Josh!!
And James, I had to throw on all the charms-- so of course I couldn't wear makeup;-)! lol
Mel, I don't even know if Josh's comments are appropriate for the blog! I'm still chuckling over the whole incident--- He definately held NOTHING back!
Hey Mergs! you could 2-time-it! I mean really, there's plenty of you to share with those hunks!...and just think of the adventures that you could experience between dry cleaning and donut making!! Whew! Whew! You go girl!!!
josh's first disturbing comment was to educate joe and the nelson's on ocular intercourse which can produce eye-babies. the elaboration of such a story was quite entertaining as i'm sure you can only imagine. he then proceded to talks of his "problems" when traveling. problems being (panic poopies... and yes, those words were uttered at the dinner table while eating roast). burping and farting naturally followed and by then, i could hardly keep down the crumb of toast mr. bo had miraculously over-looked... so i collected my nauseated self and crept back into my little corner hoping such ill-mannered table-talk didn't leave r boyfriendless.
OK, OK, I'm here to defend myself and clear my record. The story of eye intercourse was brought up actually by Joe. 2 of Joe's siblings went to Pensecola, which ignited a memory in my mind. You see, a week before Joe arrived a friend of mine, who will remain anonymous, told me of a certain document written by a firm who reports on collages. In this document it told of the strict rules at Pensecola, one of which is called eye intercourse. I continued to explain to Joe that a young student at Pensecola when approached by a professor confronted him about staring to long in a girls eyes which resulted in eye intercourse. the student replied in his defense and said: "it's ok I am wearing contacts."
The second story presented by the little squeeling mouse is that of "panic poopies." It is true those words did protrude out of my obicularis oris however the conversation was actually initiated by Rebeka. can you believe a girl like Rebeka would ruin the glossy veneer of the Nelson name. anyways that probably did cross the line a little bit.
and my final defense, although i did burp, under my breath, i did not fart once.
so there you have it the true story of the lunch with EOJ.
aunti esta!!! That totally cracks me up. Oh the memories!:-)
Josh, say what you may to try and save face, but my reputation far exceeds yours--- so, truth will triumph and my mannerly-character will go unmarred!
Whoa, at first I read "unmarried" instead of "unmarred." Gave me quite a start until I realized my mistake.
Josh, I am appalled! How can I defend the Jims with you talking such trash?
Merily, do not blame yourself for Josh's conversational problems. BLAME ROBERT!
Wow! I learn something new everyday!! I had never ever heard of ocular intercourse...what vivid imaginations some people have!!!!
Wow, Josh, that's some great dinner conversation! Wow, Rick is going to love reading about this!
Josh, did you really write that blog in your defense? I can't believe some of those words, they're so big! Did you pull out a thesauras to write it?
ok lets hear the OTHER member of the Nelson family give her opinion on this Joe character...and the lunch discussion:
I sat back taking in the whole conversation at lunch and I must say when Josh started us off with the nice topic of "eye intercourse" I was worried about where the rest of the conversation would be heading. Though in his defense I must say he didnt take it NEARLY as far as he could have! And as far as the burp...he was kind enough to make sure he blew it away from Joe(which meant he turned his head and blew it my way-"thank you ever so much!")
But it was not Josh's conversations that made me laugh, it was my father's...I mean really If we didnt find out that Joe didnt like hiking I dont know what I would have done with myself...our family just might not have been able to accept him. Cause we all know the Nelson family is the ONLY family that treks around the woods of Lake Superior when everyone is up at the cabin!
That's true Peedster! That was hysterical-- he was telling Joe how he should come up to the cabin-and asked if he enjoyed hiking-- b/c for real... anyone who's ever been up to the cabin while the Nelson's were there knows that little else is done-- from dawn until dusk we're backpacking it over the rivers and through the woods!
Rebel, I love your Isaac! He seems great! Let me know when I need to make my treck out to PA for the wedding bells!
