Dating in The Dark!

Hi Y'all! If you don't know by now i am pretty obsessed with reality TV. Does anyone watch the show Dating in the Dark? I think this is probably the most interesting t.v. show i have seen yet? It really shows how shallow people are when it comes to how people look. I mean looks do matter a little, but you don't have to be the hottest guy/girl to get a date. If i were in the dating scene, I would pick the guy with the best personality...it is how i met my wonderful husband...he is handsome but it was more about his personality. What do y'all think does looks or personality matter more when dating someone? Here is a video of the show! Check it out and let me know what you think!!!!!! This video shows what the people really think of their dates!!!

Mississippi Trip and Labor Day!!!!!
















Hi Y'all! So I haven't posted a blog in a while. So i wanted to catch everyone up with what we have been up too lately. Lots has happened in the last. We found out a couple months ago that my sister Mandy is expecting twins in February. We are so excited that the Nardi clan is finally expanding. Victor has been busy working alot lately, while i have been searching for a job. It has not been easy at all. But i am taking it day by day! I didn't realize how hard it would be to find a job. It takes a lot of hard work! Summer 2010 has been quite a busy summer for us. We celebrated my granparents 60th anniversary, traveled to missippi to see my parents and had my brother in-law and niece in town in july and my sisters were in town for Labor Day! We had a blast hanging out with Savannah and Jeremy we took the Carriage Tour downtown and went to the beach alot. I miss them so much! It's always a good time when they come in town. I can't wait to see my in-laws in a couple of weeks in Kiawah. I love when people come and visit us. I am the happiest when i am entertaining people, (I must of gotten it from my mom) she always had people over when we were kids...I definitely miss those days when our house was always filled with guests or friends stopping by! My sister Leigh just left this morning and I am already bored because there is no one to talk to or hangout with. I had a blast hanging out with Leigh and Cara and going to the beach and shopping! I wish my family lived closer together. Hopefully that will happen one day soon! On August. 20th, Victor and I went to visit my parents in Ocean Springs, MS. With all the oil spill stuff going on i didn't expect to see many people around, but i was surprised to see it was actually busy and there was no oil on the beach! Mississippi is such a gorgeous state, we went on a river tour hoping to see some aligators, but we unfortunately didn't see any, but we did get to see the beautiful scenery and learn alot of history of the bayou. I had a great time hanging out with my sisters and parents. We also went to a Casino in Biloxi and I won $5.47. I was so excited to win at least something there from the slot machines. The only thing i don't like about the trip was having to be stuck at the airport all day because of a little storm in charlotte. US Airways has the worst customer service ever. Oh well we did make it there safely in one piece! Miss my parents and siblings alot though! After our trip in MS, my sisters Leigh and Cara came to visit us in Charleston over Labor Day weekend! We had a fabulous time hanging out at the beach with friends and shopping! Miss them already! This is all that has happened lately! This week i will be celebrating 2 birthdays on Sept.11th! Can't wait for another fun and exciting week with great friends!!!! Happy Birthday to Elizabeth and Lucy-Kate! Love y'all both! Well, this is all of my update for Summer 2010! Cheers to great summer with wonderful family and friends! Ready for Fall 2010 and cooler weather. It has been brutally hot here this summer!

P.S. I promise i will start updating this blog once a week!

TTYL!
Caitlin!!!
