I met his aunt that reminded me of my cousin and now we have more people.

Let me start off by saying I had no damn idea that my FIL had a little sister for the longest time. I knew there were four brothers but had no clue there was a sister. Apparently, because she was a little on down through the years and also grandad's with his second wife.

Even Dev's only met her a handful of times throughout his life and the most vivid memory he has of meeting her was his grandpa's last birthday. Then again, he only met his real grandpa a few times as well. Because you know, grandma had a second husband. Or, something. I don't really know if I'm being honest...

THE POINT IS... I got to meet Dev's aunt and uncle and we got to hang out with them for a bit.

They live in FL but apparently travel around up here to the Midwest because his uncle has quite a bit of family up this way. We didn't know they were coming into town (the trip wasn't to see us) but Sharla reached out to Dev a couple days before and mentioned she would be in town and would like to see him.

So, once I got off work Friday, we loaded our boys up and headed over to Mavis's house. It was nice to get to hang out, chill and have supper together. We all talked and carried on and it was real nice to see we each had some shit in common. It's always nice for me when I'm comfortable around people, because as most everyone knows, new people and awkwardness meetings are not my thing.

Crippling anxiety attack? Right here. It's me.

Like I said, his aunt was a down the road baby, so she's only ten years older than us. Between the three couples there we had two in their forties, two in their thirties, and two in their twenties.

And for the record, you couldn't pay me enough to go back to my twenties. Because f*ck that. Hoping to make it past my forties though... I mean, I don't want to get there too soon but I also want to see after that? Something.

They of course had other plans and a schedule to keep, and we had to head home, but we were able to hang out for a couple hours and they let us know the next time we come down to FL, they would like us to stay with them a couple days and see everybody on that side of the family. I mean, sounds good to us.

It'll probably be awhile before we're able to make a FL trip, but its nice to know we have many people to see and fun to have when we do eventually get to go.
