I get to reconnect with a huge chunk of my bio family. [I was adopted by my great-aunt and great-uncle when I was 4 days old and grew up with no concept of most of these people were related to me.]

**of how

So when Bio-dad pointed out at least 50 of my cousins 5 or 6 of my aunts and uncles, etc etc etc on FB, it was at first a little overwhelming.

I still think I need a fuckin' scorecard to keep track of who's related to who.

But the most amazing part is, these people love me because distant or not, I'm a part of their family. Outside of the love of my kids, few things are better than that.

I also get to see my sister, who's 16 months older than me. We didn't grow up together, but we act like we did. LOL She's the serious one and I'm the goofy one.

After a week there, it's on to Dallas to see Foot. I haven't seen Foot since August. He's there and working.

Still trying to figure some things out on that end. But if nothing else, I'm excited about going somewhere I've never been before. Never been to Texas, much less Dallas. Oh, and one of my BFF's lives there.

But wait, that's not all!

After a week in Dallas, Foot and I will be driving back the 8 hours here to Mississippi. More places I've never been, riding in a car with Foot the way we haven't done in a long time...

I mean, doesn't this just scream adventure to you? And I love adventures. I leave in 182 hours. ^_^
