Daniel's Family Reunion!!!!

FINALLY, a moment to write. I’ve been back from home now for about a week and unfortunately I’m homesick:( cant sleep and ready to go somewhere again… and I’m not one to get homesick!... but this time its’ probably cause the beau was home and loads of family members I’ve never seen before.. Plus didn’t have loads of time to hang out with the best friend either. Anyhow, seeing the family was great. I was dreading going in the beginning cause I didn’t want to pay that $800 ticket but in the end it was well worth the money. The whole point of me going was for my mother’s side of the family to have their very first family reunion. I can say it was lovely and well put together. I was able to see family I have NEVER seen before and those that are only a vivid of my imagination. I’m very grateful to have a family of this caliber. I’ve also realized how much of a role model I am without realizing it. It’s quite an empowering and overwhelming feeling at the same time. I also took this opportunity to try to figure out my family history. Beginning so close to Africa, I’ve wanted to trace my family line back to it’s tribe and visit the “motherland”. So while at the family reunion I figured somebody would be able to point me in the right direction…. WELL they directed me in the right direction however; not the direction that I thought!. My grandmother explained that both of her parents were Native Americans; Black foot and Black Crow. This was apparent when all my family came around LOL.. My father then told me in the same sentence that his mother’s mother was full Cherokee Indian. All I could think was, How come no one decided to tell me this when I was in college.. I could at least got a book paid for!!!! I would have join a reservation for that.. LOL But it was interesting to see my characteristic in other people. I won’t even mention the side jokes the cousins had about “weave” matching everyone else’s hair LOL!!! Anyhow, this merited for a PERFECT time to bring out the great o camera……..
There is NOTHING like family:)

GREAT TO BE HOME!!

SOO good to be home!! Great to see the folks again and hang with the peeps LOL... Even more exciting to eating regular food again. Although there was question about whether I ate at all LOL.. Whatever!.. Last time i was in London everybody complained I was too thick and I even got the odd "You just fat" now I'm too skinny.. Don't think they can make up their mind. OH well! But it was great to get back to the good old couch.. I really love that thing and hopefully my mother will give it to me when i come home and move to my own place. But I wont hold my breath! I had some really great times and some sad ones but nothing i cant learn from.. One thing I don't miss is the cookie cutter images that exist in ATL.. Every girl looks the same and even smell the same..I cant quite get over it. The term "dress to impress" is soo true but its more like "dress to get some"..its pretty sad but its life.. Life in ATL. LOL I appreciate my friends, I appreciate we are different, I appreciate we don't go after guys, I appreciate we are in love with Jesus, I appreciate that people can tell we are different in the distance. I love my bestie and love my fam! I couldnt pray for any better.
