The 2 families meet:A-Dad and his wife Annette, A-Mom and her boyfriend David, A-Brother Brian and his wife to be at the time now, she is his wife Julie.

And of course hubby and I and the 4 kids

B-Mom and her husband John, B-Dad and his parents Grandma and Grandpa Brazo, and B-cousin Brian, B-Brother Bill and his wife Sara and their daughter Julia, and B-Brother John and his girlfriend Tina.

It was a once of a life time experience, for some of us but for others an experience you will never encounter. My Little brother and his girlfriend came to my house the night before so they could follow us out. Little did they know Dad and his wife had just moved and I had never been to their new place myself. Luck would have it we got lost and were almost the last ones there. Anyway everyone got to meet even my A-brother from Arizona was there, (the rest of us are all from NY)it was awesome! All he could say was WoW sis they all look like you. I think the biggest mind blower about the whole visit was I went outside to smoke, as you just don't smoke in Dad's house, (Birth Grandpa Brazo and Birth cousin Brian went out and smoked with me too) When I came inside I went into the kitchen and their stood all of my parents A-parents and B-parents, all of whom are divorced and are with someone new without their significant other talking about me talk about a mind blower!

Come to find out their were discussing my Birthday B-Mom and Dad remembered having me July 19th but all my records said I was born on July 9th. Yet another chapter perhaps someday.

Anyway we all visited for a few hours, A-Dad and his wife had food and drinks for us all, so of course we ate too. The rest of us were all very thankful for A-Dad and his wife to have our "2 families meet" at their house, as we were all too nervous to have it at our own houses.

The worst thing is I was so nervous I never even took 1 picture doesn't that ROT!
