There was food, volleyball, laughter and even some karaoke and dancing on the lawn. I can't think of a single time that I have not had fun with this family. They truly are amazing and I love spending time with them. I also love that they consider me family and I am finally letting go of my insecurities and beginning to call them my family also.
I have not forgotten my family and I have not replaced my family, I have just gained more family. I hate not being able to see my Dad and not being able to meet his new wife yet, I miss my Uncle Jeff and my cousins and I even miss my Grandma, she may be a little crazy at times but I still love her. I wish I was able to see and talk to all of them more than I do but I am trying to get better at making the time to keep in contact. I think if I would have realized all that I know now, I would have made the time more special when I was with them. But now I know that when I see them again, I will definitely make the time memorable!
Well, back to Saturday, there isn't much to say but I just wanted to put down what a good time I had. For a while I have tried to hide the fact that I have a good time and love Matt's family, because I was afraid of hurting one person. Although that person is important, I can no longer hide my happiness, it isn't right. I looked around on Saturday night and saw all the friendly laughing faces, and then I realized I was laughing too and didn't want to leave. I don't think I could ask for a better expansion to my family...and I hope that someday soon they will meet the members of my family that mean the world to me. So...on Saturday I ate, talked, laughed, took pictures and even wrestled with the kids, and although all of it was such a good time, my favorite part was when Am
elio fell asleep in my lap.
