Family

Living far away from family is hard sometimes.  Luckily I've been really blessed in the friend department and I've been adopted into a family down here.  It's the only way I can survive.  Sometimes you just need to sit a chat with someone, sometimes you need a hug, sometimes you need someone to be there for you when you move, sometimes you're sick or you've had surgery and you need a meal, and sometimes it's nice to have a place to go on the holidays.  I feel so blessed because I have found that here in Texas.  

Just recently I found out that I have another cousin here.  It's been a while since I've spent any time with him.  He must have been 12 when I last saw him.  He wrote me and invited me to his wedding.  I was so happy that I got to be apart of his special occasion.  It was simple.  I brought my camera because I knew they hadn't planned any pictures, and I figured they would want to remember such a special day.  

I'm so happy that I get to add Blake and Michelle to my Texas family, and I hope I can be there for them the way that others have been for me.  Congratulations on your wedding and to Michelle on her Baptism and thank you for sharing it with me.   

 Audrey...they only evidence that I was there.
