Rod's Wedding + Family Shout Outs

I was at my cousin Rod's wedding last weekend in a small town outside Chicago. My distant family, people I hadn't seen in 10 years were there. People's faces were so familiar but there were some faces that I couldn't remember and I feel like I should have. I got stuck on that thought, about how there is a portion of my life that I do not remember and not because I was too young but more because I rarely ever see these people anymore. It was wierd to revisit those times that I had long forgotten. Rod's voice, my uncle's hugs my grandmother's antics made the distance memories flood my brain with a reality that I had long forgotten. Regardless, it was a needed family reunion.

Kasey's first experience with the future!
Kasey Elizabeth Perkins- 5'9" tall, tanned skin , black haired beauty- my opposite from the looks of things. I saw my sister for the first time in almost a year an a half last weekend at my cousin Rod's wedding. I was good at keeping in touch with one person when I was over in Paris last year and it was her. I cannot imagine what LIFE would be like without her. Multiple people have told me that most of the time they have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. Could be a compliment but probably not...but I am ok with this because as long as one person understands me, and Kasey does, then I'm ok.
