The cousin I referred to earlier is one year younger than me. She was a close friend to me during middle/high school, we kind of drifted during the college years. Eventually she moved back home and now I am home, too. Her dad is my favorite uncle--and I have six so that means something! In fact, I went with him and my favorite cousin's (Julie) kids to the children's museum last week.
Anyway, I went out to get the mail today as I had been to lazy to get it Friday...stuck in with my mail was a handwritten card from Julie. She had to have put it in there some time today. She basically said if I ever wanted to talk, to go have some fun, to have someone watch the kids, etc etc, she was just a few blocks away, call anytime. I teared up reading it! Dan was there in the yard at the time so I straightened up quick. I didn't tell him yet that I "outed" us, don't know if I will. His mom and dad already told all their friends so I doubt it is a big deal...
