I love family! Yesterday was a day filled with family, however far away they are. To start, I called my Uncle Kent for his birthday on the 21st. It was super good to talk to him since I haven't seen him in ages. One of the things I miss about living in Mesa is the proximity to cousin families because we always seemed to do something fun like shooting or going to the canyon on long weekends. As always, one of those days was followed by some lots of Pizza Hut and soda (thank you, Danas, for that mental connection to an otherwise run of the mill pizza supplier. After I talked to Uncle Kent, I remembered how good it felt to randomly call up some of my favorite people. So I called Grammy. I miss living around the corner from Grammy and Grandpa. But it was good to get the scoop on their lives and to tell her all about what's happening with my life and such.
Then this morning, I called Sam for his birthday, today. My baby brother is stinkin' 15 years old!! Sheesh!! It's so weird to live away from them all and not see them grow up. I love them so much. So last night, I went to bed content, knowing that family connections are where happiness lies. TTFN
