We decided to arrive a bit early to this cookout because Lizze felt more comfortable being the first. It makes total sense because we wouldn’t be walking into to a house full of people. They will be walking into a house with us already in it.  

It was my idea and I thought this might help just a little bit.  

This is really the last thing on the list to check off, in regards to the reunification of my family.  

This will hopefully bring the rest of the family into the fold and we can all move forward together.  I’m both excited and nervous, all at the same time.
