So, as you know, my
mom is from Australia. So, all of her side of the family is scattered over
there. Within just two short years I was able to meet 2 cousins 2 aunts and 1
uncle (: I have only known of one Aunt my whole life until just a few years ago
when my mom’s dad passed away and then BAM in comes like 100 more family
members..(literally). And from then on I have met my family one person at a
time.
This year I had
the pleasure to meet my aunt Rama and uncle Gary. They are such great company!
They had been in town for about 2 days maybe and I got to take them bar hopping
in logan. Which isn’t super great because logan is so small; but they were
troopers and still had fun. *side note: I drank 4 AMF’s and a Big Dog and was
still standing at midnight* In about two weeks I will get to see my cousin and
her boyfriend for the second time. WOOT!!
Today is Gary and
Rama’s last night in Utah (I think they’re traveling more). So, my family is
having a dinner party in their honor to say “Sayonara”. I thought for sure I was
going to miss it due to being a workaholic, but at the last second my boss said
she’d single staff for the day. So, thank you Jae you’re a lifesaver!!! I drove
down with my mom, Raigen and Serina to my sisters house in Roy so we could
start cooking the food and getting ready for the night. This part of the day is
boring so let’s just skip to the part where everyone started showing up….shall
we??
So, we had a
really good turnout, Minus Carrie. Baby Caden was sick. ): I feel like there is always at least one of us that cannot make it to functions. Usually that person is me. so, that was weird. Other than that
pretty much everyone was there. All of the kids had fun watching Cone Heads,
Adventure Time, and Cloudy 2 with Matt (ha ha). It was just a bunch of crazy
people running around the house like chickens with their heads cut off like
every family gathering. That’s the perks of having 6 kids…comes with a lot more
grandkids..Dinner was great! My mom made Polynesian food and we all soaked up
the last bit of company we could with Rama and Gary.
When I took Gary and Rama to the bar, they
only drank Bourbon and Coke. So, at this party, they already had an open bottle
of Bourbon but decided to go to the liquor store and buy another bottle.
Because, you know, just in case. They came back and Gary pulls out 2 glasses
and I just figured that he was going to serve Rama and himself..duh. No, he
pours about a shot in this half size glass and says “Annie, do you think this
will be enough”? Still not reading much into it I say “sure”? Then, he pours
some coke in the cup and hands the cup to me and says “cheers” and then clinks
my glass. Because I have a way of making everything weird I looked down and
said “thanks, I really was thirsty too”. Ba ha ha ha. Towards the end of the
night we had almost finished the already opened bottle and Gary turns to Rama
and says “yeah, I thought I would be good, but this one is drinking me under
the table”. Which, made my head grow a little big. Ha ha I don’t need to know I
can drink anyone under the table, especially a grown man!
Thinking that this
party was the last time that I would see them before they left I followed them
around like a lost shadow. Then, my mom says that she’s thinking about going
down again the next day to say goodbye. Remember, we live all the way in Hyrum.
I looked at my schedule on my phone and saw that, welp, that I had the day off.
WOOT. So, my mom and I went down the next day and said our final goodbyes. )’:
*All of the photos with the whole family are unfortunately NOT on my phone. So, perhaps if i stumble upon one I like then I will post it to here
