This post has been the most challenging one for me yet. I come
from a fairly small family, distant relatives were just that and
most of everyone was usually to broke to break the distance via
travel. Frankly I don't have too many family vacations or reunions
to derive a funny story from.
Since I have been married however, I have had the privilege to
travel around a bit more. My husband and I have driven to Florida
and Indiana to visit family. We have also been able to visit my
parents in Ohio. All of which being a sort of family reunion, small
yes but we were able to see loved ones that we haven't been able to
see face-to-face since we have been living in Tennessee.
The funniest moment I can think of was this past Thanksgiving break
when we visited my parents in Ohio. My (at the time 15 year old)
sister, Amber and I realized it had been a while since we did each
other's make up. As a result we both agreed that we could do
whatever it is we wanted to the other's face. After we both
finished we looked in the mirror to find that had colored my face
to resemble a penguin and I had made her look like a man. This was
probably the most fun I had had with her since we were both kids,
we always have fun but this was just over the top!
