Family addition

I need to first apologize to Kara as she is very private and likes to keep things to herself but in this instance I just can't not tell everyone.

Growing up, Kara tried, only a couple times mind you, to drag some kid home or was followed home by some would be Prince Charming just so I could take pleasure in running them off and giving her some sort of lecture so it seems.  However, this one kid would not give up no matter what I did or threatened.  He used to sneak over to where she was babysitting, hang out where she worked and he even put his education on hold in College for a year so they could finish together or some dumb thing like that, young love, go figure.
 I must tell you though that while visiting us in the Bahamas the year before last Matt decided he wanted one of Traci's pickled eggs and proceeded to attempt to open the jar, he twisted hard while his fingers turned red, I suppose little beads of sweat formed on his brow, his muscles bulged and his face grimaced with effort involved but to no avail, the top would not relent to his manlike grip.  He finally gave up and said something to Traci eluding to the idea that he may get angry and break the jar or something similar so little Traci, small -  demure little Traci walked over, grabbed the jar and popped that lid open like it was never there.  He still hangs his head when you mention it and Traci vows to never ever let him forget it.  This is a TRUE story, maybe not the sweat and muscle bulging, I'm not sure as I never witnessed it, I only heard the lid pop open then a little sarcasm from Traci, but otherwise true as the day is long, I swear.  I think there was a real whisper like comment about "I must've loosened it" or something but his face was pointed at the floor so you couldn't really hear him.
     So this kid, the one that wouldn't give up no matter what, married our little girl on Monday the 29th of July, 2013 in a private little ceremony at the court house in Brockville with no one we know attending or witnessing, just the way we wanted to many years ago and just the way they wanted it I'm sure.  We could not be there as my visa is expired, a green card is being applied for and we can't leave the country but we could not be more proud of our little girl and the new son we've gained. 
Thanks Matt for hanging in there.
