So, I found an old picture of me. I'm in that green top I used to adore, my old ribbons on, my hand is raised, Im wearing a blue bandanna on my head and my eyes are closed at the momment of the snapshot. I look like Im trying to read my red eyed little cousins fortune. It was one of our huge family gatherings that seem to happen less and less as I grow up. And the number dwindles a little everytime, everyones tired from work, and the giants I used to call my uncles are now my height. I cook with the women now, and I entertain the young ones that get treats for simply being cute. I act motherly, grownup and nice while still being that dorky spaz of a grandaughter.Theres a bittersweetness to this all.

I think this is my favorite picture of myself. And I can't wait for the next family get together. Maybe this time no one will comment on how I've "gotten a figure" but more than likely, if my aunt Cathy does come, it'll be just that. And maybe my brother will actually pose for a picture. Nah, my familys candid.
