Last night we were invited over for dinner by some friends from El Paso. It was a nice evening, we have spent some time with them since we moved up here. It was nice coming up here and knowing someone. One of the pluses to staying Army eventually you know people everywhere. Anyhow we went over for dinner. The kids all played well, surprisingly well actually. Both her kids and mine can get a little head strong at times. Her aunt and a cousin w/ her family was there also. It was nice to meet them and they were very very nice. But it got me to thinking.
I MISS MY FAMILY!!!!! We had roast for dinner and rolls and it was a good dinner but not like my mom does! It just made me a little home sick. My mom is such a wonderful cook and makes the best rolls and bread and cinnamon rolls in the world! And no ones ever comes close. That's part of why I don't make bread, one of those "it'll never be as good as moms!" kind of things. And seeing my friend with some of her family made me long to be with mine. Not that I'm close to any of my extended family, my immediate family is fairly close, well depending on the day. LOL. But I adore my parents and think the world of them. And I love my sibling greatly! And I love to get together and see everyone, visit with everyone, see all our kids playing and how much everyone has changed.
It's also nice when they come visit us too. My sassy niece started to visit us in LA and we loved having her! I love to have family in my home. Mikes family has always been bigger on coming to visit than my family. And I love that about his family! I have to say I think I am one of the few who can boast that I have amazingly wonderful in laws!! I love when we all get together on his side also! It's always so much fun! I love when any of his family comes to visit. My kids adore them all and I am so grateful for that!
Anyhow, to my family I LOVE YOU! I miss you and I can't wait to see you!!! I wish everyone was so lucky! I thank God for you everyday! We may be dysfunctional but we're us. And I can't image a better family to be born into or marry into.
Oh yes, I have to say, along the way I have found some wonderfully amazing friends who have become our family too. I miss and love you also! You know who you are!
