Well I am in the process of wrapping up a long holiday we call Thanksgiving. We had relatives visit us in Minnesota for the first time over a holiday here at our place. Danielle and I do not live close to any of our family so to have all of our family, or most of it anyway, visit for 4-5 days is a big change.
I grew up in a family where we were with family constantly - everyone lived in Chicago save a few family members. So, being married and away from family is a stark contrast from what I was used to growing up. Either way it is an adjustment for anyone who either is around family all the time, or, if you only see your family once in a while.
Pros and Cons with both I suppose - but overall I appreciate my family and enjoy spending time with them. I also like having our place to myself - a conundrum. Just some thoughts on family. JVD
