The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Family Reunion
After my interview on Saturday I spent the day with Theresia at her mother's house. Her Aunt and Uncle were there who I had met once before. They are really nice and make you feel like you've known them for a long time. I got to see her sisters who I am most familiar with. They are both wonderful and I adore them. Also, her brothers Michael, Peter, William and Richard who I know pretty well. I get along really good with everyone. I don't know her brothers Thomas and Christopher or their wives so well, but I just have not spent that much time around them yet. I hope they like me when they get to know me more. I did get to hold Thomas and Rochele's baby for a few minutes, and then William and Andrea's while they were taking family pictures. That was nice-babies usually love me. As usual they had tons of food. I kind of hate to eat and not bring anything, but I was not prepared in time. I will have to fix something special next time I am invited over (if Theresia gives me enough notice!) It was a nice day and I got to hear a lot of family stories. That is they best part...I am always entertained when I go to Theresia's moms house!
