Another one? Already?

Ok, well I am rather bored here, and I read your last post again...how'd your mom change the wedding? What's going on?

I'll throw you a wedding shower. Hell, I'll throw you a bachelorette party, too. I'll find a way to get out there, maybe this summer, just tell me when the wedding is, 'cause you know I'll take time off to be there for it. You were my sister for so long and I want to see you happy as much as I could ever want anyone to be happy.

So. Tell me when, we'll plan it, I'll get out there, and we'll party. We'll get your brothers and sister and your dad and even your mom if you want.

Now what was this about your dad cheating? I never heard anything about that! I'm so out of the loop, heh.

Over Thanksgiving, my aunt found this box full of my grandfather's paperwork, and there were pictures and birth records and a huge family genealogy report. My mom surprised us by compiling it all into notebooks for Ethan and I, and our cousins. Zach got all the mountaineering articles and such, Heidi got the academic stuff, Ethan got the Quaker-related letters, and I got the letters between my grandmother and her family back here on the East Coast. It was amazing. Pictures of my history and letters about these people I never got to know. A lot of the letters I got were my grandmother discussing her father's infidelity and in one of the letters, to her mother, she wrote something like 'Don't be too hard on him, mom, after all, he was very understanding when you cheated on him a few years ago.'
Heh, it's like 'woooah. ok. Guess this sort of thing was talked about, a bit at least.'

Now I really should go, but catch me up on details! And know I'll never judge you. I'm proud of you for living the way you want to, and so glad you found Reece. He's really good to you.
