Family Fun?
I spent the weekend with the “other” side of the family. I flew out of Sacramento airport at 6am on a flight towards Salt Lake City, Utah. After a few hour layover in Denver (yeah, denver…) I landed in Salt Lake sometime in the early afternoon.
Was i excited? Nervous? I dont know. I hadnt seen any of that side of the family in years; The only relative (other than my grandma) that i even spend some time with was my father’s sister, Linda. Thats because shes a disney nut like us :) and she lives on the west coast.
*sigh* after hearing of Mantha’s adventures back home i definitely wasnt looking forward to the weekend. I went for one reason only… it was a celebration of my only living grandmother’s 75th birthday. It was a surprised party :) and I wanted to be there for her.
Mantha and the rest of the bunch landed about half an hour after me, and mantha found me in the terminal (after they had passed me up already). *sigh* the rest of the weekend was pretty uneventful. The surprise party was scheduled for 2. we arrived just before it; but seeing as some people take forever mantha and I were unable to make it down in before my grandmother arrived. We surprised her anyways by sneaking up behind her! haha! Happy birthday grandma!
As for the rest of the evening and Sunday… I really feel i tried to make the best of it; but some things just refuse to change. I think i have changed too much to be able to put up with it! I mean.. i love my family; but i find myself extremely jealous of the families i see around me. Even my relatives; I know they didnt have all the “opportunities” (meaning money) that i had when i was growing up; but they seem so much closer and carefree and just… loving.
I try to make the best of what i get. I cant expect my family to change as i’m changing. I cant expect them to be able to fufill all my needs as I’m growing and maturing and developing. *sigh* I need so much more out of life. Hahaha.. the only thing in my head right now..
“I need adventure in the great wide somewhere……”
I dont want to abandon my family or anything… but i need to find something more. My family has been a “focal” point in my life for so long. I think i want to expand my horizions..
