A Penny for your Thoughts

So, "today" was Easter. It was a great and lovely easter, but it was also a very strange one.

I spent the day with the boys family. I went to church at Substance Church in roseville with Jake, his dad, and his little sister Genna. I had a great time in the service, and afterwards we took "family pictures" because, well, I'm a little bit of a picture freak. I love pictures. We were taking pictures of each other and then our friend Caleb came outside and Jake called out to him and asked him to take a picture of the four of us. It was either Caleb or his brother that was like... "aww, family."

Ya know...when he said it I got that "warm fuzzy feeling" inside because I LOVE the Villavicencio's. They ARE my family. And today I realized that I'm closer to them than I am to my own family. Like WAY closer. I don't know if this is normal, but I feel like it's not quite normal. Usually both people get close to each others families, but Jake and my family don't mix so well and I mix like rice and mango's with Jake's family. We go together, ya know? Anyways. It was a strange easter #1 because I worked, and I don't think I've ever worked on Easter before, and #2 because... I literally didn't talk to ONE single member of my OWN family.

I texted my mom from Jake's phone but I don't know if she even got the text. It makes me a little sad when I reflect on it, but to be honest I completely enjoyed not having to split the holiday between our two families and JUST going to his families stuff. I feel... I don't know. I don't know how I feel. I almost feel like it's sad, but it's natural? All I know is that I love these people: (plus a few, but these are the three people I see all the time. I honestly feel like I'm their sister, daughter, and other half).
