IDAHO
So I am in Idaho right now sitting in a hotel typing this. The reason I am in Idaho is because I came to visit my "Long lost family" In other words my mother and my two half brothers and my grandma on my mothers side. It has been twelve to fifteen years since I have seen these people depending on who it is.
I came with my brother josh and my sister shayla and my boyfriend brian. It took us thirteen hours to get here and we left at 6:30am. It was LOOOONG. Anyway we got to our hotel at 10:30 Idaho time. When we got to the hotel I let nathanial, one of my brothers, know that we made it safely. which is when I found out that i was meeting my mother and her husband of 4 years in ten minutes. I got really super nervous and scared. So did everybody else. I had thought we wouldn't see them until the next day. I do not know how to explain the feeling in the room when they showed up. It was like fear, tension, sadness, anger and a little bit of excitement and I don't know it was weird. Anyway we all gave each other hugs and then there was an ackward silence for about a minute. Then the ice was broken and we talked for about 3 hours. Mostly surface stuff and stories us three kids didn't know. It was good. Today we met Nick and my Grandma Amy. Grandma Amy was shocked and relieved and had some tears of joy. It was awesome. Nick was really quiet and shy but he opened up later on. I also met Daniel one of Toms daughters she was quiet and unsure also. She seems nice though. Hmm what else... my mother had to work from 3 to 10 and Nate had to work from 8am to 7pm so we hung out with nick tom and daniel and did some touristy things. Then we all went to dinner except for my mother she was working. And around 11 we went swimming and now I am typing this. I will hopefully say more tomorrow or next time I am online. I am going to put some pics up with everybody now.
