Last night me, my sister and my mom went to a deployment party for my cousin's son.
It was awesome to see everyone.

Here's a picture of all of us….

What a crew, huh?
So love them….

This is what I love the most about being back here. Getting to go to things like this. We grew up around my mom's cousins, we were pretty close to them growing up and it's so nice to see how they are doing and see their children and spouses and getting to be a party of my family again. I felt so removed from everything and everyone when I was in Alaska and when you only get to come back on vacations….you tend to spend time with your immediate family and close friends, your extended family, while you adore them and miss them, doesn't ever seem to fit into the rush of vacations. So for years and years, I have missed so many of these parties and it's so nice to be able to go again!

At one point a bunch of people were out on the dance floor, some of the younger ones, and I had to ask Billiejo.."Okay, who am I related to?" LOL Some of the teen/early 20 year olds, I really have no idea!!
It made me laugh…

Next weekend, we are going down to the cape to Billiejo's and Auntie's. I am so excited, I haven't been down there yet, since we've moved here and I can't wait to go spend some time at her house. Plus, there is a kick ass scrapbook store on the Cape that I love going to, so I can't wait to go browse around in there.
Yay!
