Auntie Terra!

Some people are born with nephews and nieces already. It will have taken me 33 1/2 years to become an aunt. But the news was much anticipated and well worth the long wait. I am so excited for my children that they will have their first cousin to play with. I can remember playing with my cousins. They lived close and we grew up like brothers and sisters. We always had a blast as kids.

My cousins lived 3 blocks over and we spent so many nights at each others houses. I was bossy and mean and would play anything as long as I was in charge. I wonder how they ever put up with me.

My Aunt and Uncle were big influences in my life because they introduced the church to me. They also set such a big example to me in my life and I found myself wishing I could be crafty, creative and oh- so- elegant like my Aunt.

I hope that I deserve the "Aunt" title. It is a big thing to me and I just am counting down the days. (In fact I have a ticker on my sidebar to remind me-I'm not crazy about this or anything uh?!?).

Congratulations to the Expecting Parents!

(Just remember labor bites and Lamaze doesn't work!- epidurals are wonderful- they make you all warm and tingly...oh great, now I want one!)
