Today's Update on Life.

Can't blog for long today, it's a tad late and my mother is angry, so I'm just going to get in a quick blog because a lot of stuff happened today. No deep wordy stuff.

I woke up a bit before 5AM today to go take my cousin to the airport. We got him there on time, and all went well. I then went to breakfast with my mom at Denny's. You can get a butt load for $12. Combing Taggy (my German Shepard) was next on the agenda, so I spent an hour doing that. He eventually got bored and ran away. I finally got to take a shower & went to sleep. My brother gave me a very vigorous shake for a wake up call, so I got up, did my hair, and went to the school to check the Symphonic seating sheet. Brother didn't make Symphonic, but he got into Wind Ensemble. As of this moment, I have 6th chair which I think is primary second, but there are still a few really good players left to audition, so I'm not unpacking my junk yet. I then went to my lesson, got yelled at for not practicing, went to Nick Rail for reeds, and finally VBS. It was pretty good today. Only four out of my ten usual kids showed. Today was Trent's last day. I'll miss him lots. We then went to Boba & met up with the family, & they just left my house.

What did the fambam do for over five hours? Well after Boba, they came over to my house and we talked for a long, long while. I got to find out ALOT about my family history. I'm so pleased. I honestly didn't think I would ever be able to get my hands on this much information. Thank you Jesus, really. If Melissa hadn't gone up to Oregon (she almost didn't) the family wouldn't have been reunited, and we wouldn't have had this talk.
So apparently my grandma had super-duper bank in China, but she was orphaned and raised by an evil aunt. She met my grandpa, and was disowned because he was poor. They immigrated to Nicaragua because of the war and had their six children. They went back to Hong Kong to settle business, left the children with Mom Flor (not my grandma, just a neighbor), and finally decided to split up. My grandma took Aunt 2 and Uncle 3 (number are birth order) and returned to Hong Kong. Aunt 1 was sent to the US to study, and Aunt 4, Uncle 6, and my mom stayed with Grandpa in Nicaragua. They had two stores and were very well off, until Grandpa returned from business & was totally wiped. Both his stores were ransacked and burned down, so they had to start over. Aunt 4 was a rebel and after she was caught taking money from Grandpa he became paranoid. He became abusive and totally mad. Finally Aunt 4 made it to the US to study. Grandpa passed away at the age of 77, six months before my mom and Uncle 6 graduated. His wish was to see them both graduate high school and then die, but he didn't make it.
I'm not sure if this story is 100% accurate, and I know my writing was extremely simplistic and casual this time, but I'm writing exceptionally quickly and just wanted to get this down before I forget everything.

That's it for today, I'm peacing out.

Oh, I forgot one thing. There's a new guy in the picture. I'm pretty sure nothing will happen. Nothing should happen. Just another guy to look at. Just another guy to consider. Not very new, just felt the need to blog about it.
