Second Cousins

I got a surprising Facebook message from my cousin Jen yesterday morning.

Her message simply said that she and her family were in Breckenridge on vacation and that they would be driving through Denver to take her kids to the aquarium.

Jen wanted to know if she could see me and meet Chance and Savannah.

I immediately responded to Jen's message, called her up, and we made a plan to get together in the evening.

I have not had an evening with Jen in over 15 years! It was amazing to be around my cousin and learn about her as an adult.

We reminisced about being kids at grandma and grandpas house and discovered that we were both very much the same people we were then.

I really enjoyed talking to Jen about her life now. It was great to meet her kids,

introduce her to mine, and to spend time together with our families.

I'm glad we got to reconnect. What a great evening!
