so, how are the kids?

one of the things that i am so grateful for about my childhood was that i grew up with all my cousins. i have so many good memories of all of them.

a game that we all liked to play was "grown-up." cheli, clarissa, and i would sit around a table (kelli was left out quite often), sipping our imaginary tea, and discussing issues we thought adults would discuss. we always started out with the question, "so, how are the kids?" then we would carry on conversations on how our "families" were doing.

flash forward 2o years: my cousin, cheli, got married this week. it hardly seems possible that all of us are even adults now (yes, even kelli!), let alone old enough to get married. but here we are. the first of the cousins have gotten married. and although not all of us live in the same city anymore, i will always carry those sweet, precious memories with me.


congrats to cheli and aaron!!

wasn't it funny that whenever we would ask each other how our husbands were doing, their names were always Bill, John, Robert, Ted, etc. HA!
