The Verdict Is In! December 3, 2008

Sushi Boy is meeting my family. In all of their lovely craziness.

I got a call this last weekend from one of my aunts, that my other (most wonderfully favorite) Aunt Tammy is celebrating her 50th Birthday this Saturday night. My Aunt Tammy…well, there are not quite words to describe how amazing she is and how much she means to me. My Aunt Tammy and her first husband (who just divorced a few years ago, therefore he will always be my uncle) never had children. My Aunt Tammy and my mother are biological sisters and were adopted together when they were 5 and 6. Although I have many other wonderfully amazing aunts and uncles, Aunt Tammy was always the favorite. She is a second mother to my sister and I. All of our friends call her Aunt Tammy, and are always envious of having such a great aunt.

Anyhow…Sushi Boy, Christian and I are headed South Friday after work to participate in the birthday festivities! This means that Sushi Boy will be meeting my entire family. My big scary teddy bear of a dad, my amazing sister and her 29 kids, my aunts, my uncles, my grandma, my cousins. All of them.

I’m so excited. But at the same time a little nervous. (Okay, more than a little) I really love this man, and so desparately hope that my family and him like each other. I really don’t see why they wouldn’t. But I’m still keeping my fingers crossed!

This is my sister, my beautiful Aunt Tammy and I on Christmas Day last year. My sister was very pregnant, and yes, I am totally a giant!
