I can't believe a whole week has passed already since I left for Ohio. We spent a great week here with my aunt, and now it's time to move on. Next stop: Chicago. I'm doing something scary, and fun. Tomorrow night I'll meet my dad's birth family. Neither of us have ever met anyone in that part of the family face-to-face. It's very new for everyone.
I'm very excited though. My biological family is very classically structured. My grandmother (dad's birth mom) is still around, I have one uncle and two aunts, and three cousins - two of them (boys) are my age within a couple of months, and one (girl) is four years younger than me. It's the family I always wanted growing up. My dad's adopted family is wonderful, and there are a lot of relatives, but they're all very extended and my sister and I are the only children for the last generation. I'm really looking forward to meeting and having some more closely related family around. Tomorrow night we'll all be having dinner somewhere with "authentic Chicago pizza" and meet everyone for the first time. I really hope my cousins and I get along well. It would be so wonderful to have some cousins my own age to mess around with!
May all my conversation and actions be a testimony and uplifting to the LORD.
