Siblings

This past week, my sister came to visit. Well one of them anyways. I'll tell you a little back story and I'll TRY to make it quick since it's horribly long lol.

I was adopted when I was 8 along with one of my sisters Bj when she was 3. For a long time, I always thought it was just the two of us. I found out around the time I was 16 or so, that I had 2 other sisters and a brother. One of my sisters, Jessica, my birth mother, Georgine, gave up for adoption. I don't know how old she was or anything like that. Just that she was named Jessica. My other sister and brother, Jessica (yes I know, 2 jessicas? but the 1st ones adoptive parents named her Jessica) and Jason, lived with their dad. I had pictures of Jessica from when she was little, but I had no idea that's who she was. I always assumed that it was  one of my cousins or something. Bj and I  met them for the first time when I was around 16 or so. We hung out at my grandparents bar that they owned (it was a Sunday so it was technically closed) with our birth family. It was a little weird but I was happy to finally meet them. After they left, we lost contact with them. I am HORRIBLE at keeping in contact with people. Ok, I was before the Internet came along anyways lol. So we didn't hear from them again. Until recently. I was on Facebook one day, talking to my aunts about some old pictures they had added, and they told me that the little girl in the picture I have was Jessica. All of a sudden, I got a friend request from someone named Jessica!!! My Aunt tata had found her on Facebook!!!! I was SO happy! She and Jason only live about 2 1/2 hrs from me. She is married and Jason is divorced (I forgot to mention that when I first met Jason, he brought his wife at the time Jennifer and she was really pregnant!). I have 2 nephews and a niece!!! We met around Halloween of 10' and went to a pumpkin patch that had a ton of fun things to do with the kids. We all had a blast!!

 So Jessica and Mark (husband) and Decium (nephew) came into town this past week and came to my apartment for dinner. I made lasagna for the first time ever and it turned pretty good!!! We just sat and talked for hours and Annabelle and Decium played a fun game on the Xbox. They had a BLAST together!! I love seeing them!! I wish I had the money to go to see them more often since I'm just a stay at home mommy/student right now. But soon, hopefully, Chad will get a $3 raise and it will be possible for me to!! But for now, I will take what I can get! Jess will be back in town on the 17th and hopefully we can get together with BJ this time. Since she hasn't been able to get together with us either time yet! I'm going to leave you with some pictures!
