Finally

I'm finally with my mom. The amazing people I work with all pulled together to get my shift at work taken care of and I drove down to San Diego last night. I got to spend some time with the whole gang, Aunt Mary, Uncle Steve, Aunt Sharon, Aunt Diane, Grandma, and Grandpa. Biggest news yet...my grandpa started to say my name when I first got to the house. We all sat down to a dinner of lasagna. And we were all cramping with laughter at the antics of Uncle Steve. He was hilarious and I forgot how much fun he was. Of course grandma tried to spoil the fun by telling us we were too loud and Aunt Mary being who she is walked over to grandpa and said, "Dad are we being too loud for you." And my good ol' grandpa said, "No Ma'am." He was enjoying our company and our laughter. I've realized how much I miss this side of my family, and I can't wait to see my cousins David, Brenda, and Rachel. I haven't seen Rachel since she was a baby and now she's 17! It's going be so much fun. I feel a lot better now that I'm with my mom. She is an amazing woman, and she shines with her family. She's always running around to make sure everything is taken care of and cooking for everyone. I hope that someday I can be as selfless as she is.
