Send in the Family Rep...

So now that my folks are in PA. I have become the official rep for family functions. On today's assignment list. A bridal luncheon for my cousin. Now I love her parents, they rock. They flew to Jamaica for our wedding, hosted our gift opening, and always invite us over for the holidays.
Their daughter on the other hand during my wedding ceremony - pitched a fit. Pouted when it was done, and threatened to walk back to their resort because she was bored.

In defense of said cousin at 26 she has the mentality level of a 12 yr old literally. However attending said luncheon will give my other aunts and cousins an opportunity to ask when we are going to have a baby.
Which those of you close to me know may in of itself not be any easy process for us because of health reasons. So I am not in a mood. I am hoping none of this will happen but I can feel my blood pressure going up at the thought of the onslaught I am about to endure.
UGH. I have always been the odd duck amongst my cousins as I went to college and waited to get married. My family thinks you should be married and have children young. To be honest I didn't even start dating until my 20's!!!

In happier family news my Mom is coming here in June, and has made it clear that she wants to be selfish and see me again in July. It has only been in the last year or so my Mom and I have become buds, and can I say how wonderful it is? I can tell her anything. I always could but now it isn't judged so harshly. I had a spa day planned for us but she has decided she wants me to spend the $300 on a plane ticket.
I agreed.
I really miss my family. My whole life I have always been able to spend a holiday with them. I am going on year two of now family holidays. It kind of blows. If your family is close consider yourself lucky. For the last 6 years mine has only been near by for a year. No matter what your beef is with your family they are yours. Hold them close because some day they may be far away. Of course you know I am talking about my parents right? 'Cause my aunties god love them can certainly drive me bonkers! I have 7! And I get to see 4 today. Help me!!!
