Today we travel to the great state of New York. Why, you ask? Because my one and only all time favorite brother is getting married in two days!! So, it is safe to say that our family is growing, and it's not just growing by one, but by much much more! You see, my new sister in law, Jenn, has a little boy named Charlie and a family of her own that in a special way will soon become part of our family.
Part of what makes this so exciting is that we have never met Jenn, Charlie, or any of her family. So, in less than 24 hours I will get to meet all of the new members of my family. I will get to spend time celebrating the wonderful gift of marriage with them.
Nervous? Why would you think I would be nervous? OHH because I have never met them before! I see what you are thinking, but I will tell you this, I am not at all nervous. You see, it has been years (lots and lots of years) since I have seen my brother so happy, and since I have seen him be more himself, which tells me that my new family is a special one. I haven't seen Jake more free to be himself in a long time, and I must say that it is incredible to see. So, if they, and I do mean all of them (Jenn, Charlie, her parents....), can make Jake feel that good and that comfortable then they are alright in my book.
Today we travel and we start the celebrations of new life through a new and growing family. And honestly, I CAN'T WAIT!!
