Family from across the sea!

Sadly, I couldn't find the picture that was taken that included my grandma as well, But here is the picture that includes, My mamma, me, my aunt Nina, and my uncle Geoffrey! I finally got to visit my aunt and uncle who came here on Monday? Tuesday? I honestly cannot remember it has been such a blur this week. The cliffnotes is that my Aunt is going to Mexico for a cancer treatment, my uncle lost his passport, they had to go to Tucson to get one expedited, and now they are leaving to Mexico on Tuesday. I haven't seen my Uncle's family since I was at least 8, so I haven't seen them in 15 years. My god I'm old. Ahem, anyway. They live all the way in Guam with their 4 kids so that is a bit of a hassle to bring that big family here. I got to visit them last night and it was a decent time. Like there was some dead air, just because we live completely different lives. They are super athletic, hardcore Christians, and not like my mom and I at all. My history teacher used to call me the princess of darkness, so you know...The complete opposite. We played 2 games of the board game Aggravation with was pretty fun. I love family togetherness like that, I have always loved family gathers, I just don't like it with MY family. Because people are just so quick to judge, they see me in my dark clothes and most of my family things I am some devil worshipper. Which is funny, because I don't even believe in the devil, so...yeah. But I really hope I made a good impression on them. Like I know the first thing at least with my uncle would notice is my weight. Yes, I am heavy, yes I am obese, so I expect a super athletic dude who has kids that run marathons and win medals to notice that and probably judge that. But other that than, I really hope I didn't come off that brooding because I'm not. I may dress dark, I may like dark things, but I'm not going to be hexing one anytime soon. We are going to be having a dinner tomorrow evening, so I'll get to see them before they leave for Mexico. They will be coming back after that and they will be here for a little while, so there is that and perhaps we will get some more chatting done to help them really realize that I am not completely a freak haha!

@thislittlepennyearns A lot of the time if someone else is taking a picture of her she looks "drunk" I don't really think so, but no one likes when someone else is taking a picture of them haha

What a great opportunity to reconnect with family. Don't worry about the judging you part, they are simply human just like you. Imagine they also may be wondering how you judge them. None of you likely thought much at all about what the other cared about most. It's a great picture, enjoy the diversity, lucky you.

The only thing I can ever judge of a person is how they judge others, their morals and values. I will never judge a person based on their looks. That is just cruel.

So nice to spend time with family. Especially when you don't get to see them a lot.

This is a nice picture, your Aunt looks so sweet. I am glad that you were able to meet them and I am also glad that your uncle got his passport so they can go to Mexico and your Aunt can have the treatment.
