It has been more than 30 years since my dad's side of the family has had a reunion, and I am too little to remember any of that one. The picture above was placed on Facebook and the tagging of each other sparked some family members to find one another. (My dad is in the bottom row, 2nd from the left. Wasn't he cute. I see a lot of JJ in him.) In turn, those new found connections have brought together the idea for a family reunion next year that 2 cousins and myself are heading. As apparent, family is very important to me, and I love how much closer I have become to that side of the family the past few years as is, so I am really looking forward to this gathering. I have been researching different ideas, and we are planning a motorcycle ride and the gun range. Yes, I can imagine what image that gives people, but you couldn't be further from the truth. To add to that imagine, I will also be having my next tattoo - my mom's signature - by a family member (who owns his own shop.) Of course there will be other tamer things planned, a lunch boat cruise and golfing, on top of the actual reunion dinner. I can't wait to see everyone, especially one of my sisters and one of my brothers! Dad is excited to have us all under his roof, even if it is only half of his kids!
