A Much Needed Break

Bekah and I on the plane

Ed 
Early evening yesterday, I arrived from Nashville, Tennessee. I went down with Bekah, who is basically my second sister. I actually flew, my first time ever. The flight went well. We departed at 11:15 and arrived at 12:35. Annetta and Maddie (bekah's step mom and little half sister) picked us up and we went back to their house. Ed, Justin, and Carmen all arrived the next day. I felt like family instantly. The weekend consisted of all of us spending time together. We sat down and played games like sequence and uno, we also did tons of karaoke. It was nice being in a home with a family dynamic. Not saying that my house doesn't have that, but we have less of one than a typical family. Friday morning bekah and i walked upstairs and we found Eric (Bekah's dad) lying down on the floor playing with Maddie (2). To see a father spending time and loving his daughters was extraordinary for me. I know how special it is to those girls. I love seeing how people interact, especially when i'm given a chance to see the other half to my two best friends. I was able to see other sides to two people i love very much. I got to see where they have inherented some of their traits. Although, I know one of them was less than excited to have my company there, I enjoyed the opportunity I was given to go. I was able to feel apart of something, more so a family. I feel apart of my family, but there was so much love in that household. It reminded me of my past. I hope to be able to travel back with them soon.
