Meeting My Cousins

Today I got to meet my other cousin, Nicole, for the first time in over 15 years. It was so weird... she totally looks the same. She said the same thing about me, which everyone says. I was walking down the street one day in high school and this guy from my elementary school saw me and recognized me right away even though I hadn't seen him in 5 years- through puberty and all that, the biggest changes. I hadn't seen Chele and Nicole since I was about 10, and I'm 28 now. It's still so weird seeing them, but weird in a good way. I don't know if many of you have family you have lost (their mom died and they got lost in the foster system) and then found later, but it's a great feeling. I just wish my brother and sister could be here with us, so we could all get together like old times.
I found out some interesting things... like how my mom was thinking about taking in my cousins when their mom died, but then some complications happened and they went with their stepfather. They lived there for a while, and then got into foster care where they got lost in the system. If it wasn't for my sister being a social worker and found Chele's records, then I wouldn't be here today. It's crazy how life separates people and then brings them back together.
Food: I had biscuits and gravy for breakfast, a banana for a snack and I haven't eaten dinner yet. Dinner is going to be some sort of BBQ meat and some sort of veggie. I have drank about 50 ounces of water so far today, so not too bad. Tomorrow is going to be a hard day for water, since we are driving back to FL- 7 hours in the car. Then rest on Monday, and go back home on Tuesday. 
Sleep- Last night I got 8.5 hour sleep and didn't nap today. My mood is good.. it's hard to be depressed when it's so pretty outside. I'm going to go count my journals to make sure I did my 30 for the month.. I'm 99% sure that I have. Yup! 30 journals in 30 days, only missed one day and did 2 the next to make up for it! I'm happy :D
