Sister Ana just arrived in to LA to help pack and celebrate our last few days here.
Sister Jodi is in Fiji with boyfriend Christian and got a one day layover in LA to hang out on her way home (among the boxes).
Aunt Dawn and Uncle Kevin are driving up on Sunday to spend an afternoon with all of us at Lucky Baldwin’s Pub.
Sister Bridget is organizing Brother Sean’s 21st birthday party this weekend in the hometown.
Dad Greg is driving 3.5 hours to help Mom Mary Lee & Dad RayJ keep the peace during said birthday party.
We drive to Mom Cathy’s in Phoenix on Wednesday to eat food, ride bikes and be merry with the Riveras & LaMore clans.
In-law, step-, half-, biological and domestic partner are dumb words.
Family is an awesome word.
I love you guys- bring on the holidays.
