Family is so important and I hope everyone who reads this can think about their families for a few minutes and thank God for the blessings a family brings to your life. This trip for me has been a blessing because I am reconnecting with family that I haven't seen for a while and some that I've never met. A couple weeks ago I was able to share a roof with my Grandma's sister Lola in San Diego and her children. I was hesitant to see them because I have never before met them, but the minute the door opened and I felt the warmth of their hospitality and familial love and I was right at home. It was amazing meeting Lola and Ray and seeing Diana and Ski again because family is one of God's greatest gifts and so often your families can be so disconnected because of distance that you lose touch or in my case, never meet at all. I am very grateful that this trip has provided a way for me to connect with my family all around the country. My brother just left and it was very nice for him to be here. He's such a sweet guy and I can always count on him to be there for me, not because he particularly likes me, but because we are family and that's what family does. He must have felt 3,000 miles away that I was starting to get homesick because he hopped on a plane on three days notice and flew out to meet us. My seester will be coming shortly too and I am on my way to visit my wonderful grandparents and my Uncle Joe who is the funniest and nicest guy I know. I think I am the luckiest person in the whole world. Thanks Mom for the Easter care package, I forgot how much I missed your flour rabbit prints on the kitchen floor until they weren't there. But having Colin here made my Easter just as good as if I were home again. I hope everyone had a nice Easter and I hope that you thank God every day for your special family.

I thank God that you are such a wonderful young lady with such wonderful thoughts! I know your family is very proud of you! I sure am!!

I noticed that you spoke of the importance of family but not of the importance of SEESTERS! They are not mutually exclusive! (Im not exactly sure what that means but I know that it's powerful because it's almost sounds like Jasmines "I'm not a prize to be won!".I'm not either! You just remember that seester...)

Quoting from the lyrics of Tim Bunting's song to Jessica, "You're special, but in a normal way" applies here too. You are so right about family and that's why we are especially glad to have this website. Everyone misses you guys very much, but this site really helps with that.
A BIG thanks to Sherer for being the Easter Bunny's Little Helper and delivering the goods to you wanderers. I really appreciated her willingness to do that. I wanted to put some of the "Magical Easter Bunny Dust" that you spoke of on the Easter gifts but then I thought Sherer might not appreciate the five hour delay she would have to go through when airport security tried to figure out what the unknown white substance coming from her package was!

I to totally know what you mean about family. While I was in Hawaii for 7 months I was loving it but had no family there. So anytime that someone visited it was awesome. But also I realized how much you really do need family and how much I loved mine and how great they are!
Your trip sounds awesome. Travis and I check your site a lot. Sorry for this being the first comment. You are inspiring us to dream of doing something too! who knows though.
call us if you are coming through anytime.
What about them gators??? Way to go Corey Brewer (we are from the same town...friends with my sis)!

I recant my last message. It has been brought to my attention that you actually did in fact mention seesters in your last blog. Carry on...
