I actually had the longest conversation with my cousin tonight that I think I've had in my entire life.
Amazingly, we all of a sudden have something in common. This is unfortunate because it's something that sucks. But despite that, it was nice to talk...and feel like we understood each other.

Other than that, it was a nice night. Dad played with Oscar (my aunt's dog) and told inappropriate stories all evening. We sang happy birthday to my cousin who blew out candles placed in a bowl of whipped cream (he doesn't like cake). My uncle pulled out vacation pictures (my cue to head outside).

I love my family :)
