I really just don't think about updating here. I've got my LiveJournal, and I personally know half the people on my Friend's List there so its the journal I think of.
Just realized tonight how much closer I am in general to my secondary family than I am to my real family. My best friend and his wife gave birth 2 years ago to my godson, and I love that kid to death. Realized recently just how much he loves me back too. Then, every major holiday I go spend with them and J's mom, they welcome me in just like I'm one of them. Wow.
In my own family, I'm close to my mom, but that's it. I'm going to get together with her next weekend, once I get paid and can take her out for Mom's day. My dad can pretty much take a flying leap, and though I love my brothers, I'm just not real close to any of them.
Today was nice, J's whole family was there (other than his dad, who moved away long ago) and I got to take pictures of the whole troupe. The little ones kept toying with the idea of being in the picture, not being in the picture. I felt real comfortable. Nice change of pace for me.
