My Family

I just found out that my sister, Brittany, is moving by my dad, Tim.  They live in Texas.  I got back in touch with them after 12 years of not talking to them.  It was really awesome to see them.  Evan and I went to Texas, last May.  It was really cool to see them again.  My dad, got remarried to Kathleen, and they have have a son.  He is the same age as my sister Brittany's daughter.  It is funny actually, Brittany, and Kathleen were pregnant at the same time.  When I first saw my sister, I was really nervous.  I actually talked about turning around and going back to Utah.  If I was driving, I would have, but Evan was driving, because I don't have my license yet.  I really wanted to make Evan turn around.  Yet Evan convinced me to keep going.  So, we did, and I am grateful that we did.  I really missed my family.  I worried more than I should have.  We drove for 24 hours, but that includes taking naps.  We also went to Oklahoma to see Evan's dad at the military base.  It was really cool to see what he does for a living.  He is in the Army, and he trains troops to go across to fight for our country.

Then we came back home to Utah.  It was nice to be back home.  I really miss them, and eventually want to go back, but I want to have more time to go.  We only had two days to spend with everyone.  It was hard for me.  I really wanted to spend more time with them, but I couldn't because we didn't have the time, or the money.  I hate not being able to see my family everyday, and it is especially hard that we don't have the money to go and see them more.  Evan also can't get time off work.  It is hard. I miss my family so much.

So back to deciding whether or not to do a paternity test. There are two people who it could be, it could be Chad, who has 6 daughters, or it could be Jim who was really abusive to my mom and me. I think it would be good to know who my biological dad is, and I think it could be really devastating as well, what if Chad isn't my dad, and it is Jim?  I am really nervous.  This could be what I really need, or it could be what breaks me.

Well, that is what is going on in my life today.
