A WEDDING WEEKEND IN THE SOUTH

Friday...



Tin and I arrived in 32 degree Charlotte, NC at 7 am on Friday morning. We spent a good part of the day driving to and from the airport because us Bautista cousins came from all over the place (Glendale, Sacramento, Seattle, Dayton, Cincinnati, San Francisco). We barely get to see each other every other year for reunions (if that at all), so when we get an opportunity such as Alan’s wedding to come together, we take advantage at full force. It doesn’t matter what we’re doing. Whether we’re picking someone up from the airport, running last minute errands, hurrying to the mall for a quick shopping mission, getting through a wedding rehearsal or spending an evening in a hotel room with the groom the night before the wedding, it’s never idle time for us because we’re together. It’s a blessing we never take for granted and this weekend only proved with much conviction how strong the bonds of family are, even across the miles. I miss my cousins and my aunts and uncles so much!
