Family Will Always Be Family

Well this past week I spent on a cruise ship with 34 other family me members, most of which I had never met and are now all adults now.

We were all so very blessed to get this opportunity. If it wasn't for all the hard work put in by each and every person to get the time off of work and make arrangements to get from places like Alabama, California, Idaho, Indiana and Alaska. We all gathered in Bonney Lake Washington at our Grandparents house to start our adventure. The day of arrival for everyone was a very busy day of trips to the airport every so many hours and a day of talking, meeting, and getting to know this family I love.  The next day there was a tour bus that came to pick us all up to take us to the cruise ship where we were to be stuck with each other for a week weather we liked it or not. And in the end I must say we loved it and miss each and every person that was on that boat in the family.

It was such a good time and I am so glad I got to go. Meeting everyone was so good. The times on the ship were extremely fun to say the least. Let me tell you it was a party, all the time, non stop. SO much fun.

We had 4 generations on that ship and also the largest group. We were well known on that ship. It was inevitable that when you where just wondering you ran into and passed just about everyone in the group but when you wanted to find someone you couldn't even find one person to ask where someone else might be.

We had the best karaoke night there was ever. The MC of the night said he had never had such a turn out or that much fun...what can I say my family knows how to have fun.

With a group so large there is bound to be family "drama" but we were their to support each other through what ever came about and just dish out the love to all.

Missing them all and even though we are two "broken" families brought together by our grandparents we are now one family and even if we are not blood related but "step" we will always be family and hey those are just some words that are not in our vocabulary when it comes to our family. One family all with lots of love for one another. God brought us all together to be one family for a reason and that was to love each other for who we are and be a family. Love them all so much.

Can't wait to do something like this again and see them all again.

Thank You to Grandma and Grandpa and The Uncles for making this all possible!
