I have spent the last two days enjoying the company of family. Yesterday I spent the day with my "new" family. It was a bittersweet day as it was the last day with the Knaggs. As I write this they are on their way to Australia. It's interesting when you join a new family. I mean, I've known these people all my life, but now I see them in a completely different light. They have become the others in my life. I have always respected the Knaggs, but now I can call them Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Jime, which I'm so proud of. I have gained a sister and three brothers. Ally makes me laugh all the time. I can just look at her and start to giggle. She gives the best hugs let me tell you. Then there's Steve, who unfortunately was not with us yesterday. And then there's Jon and Jason. You can't ask for a better family. On top of that there's cousins, aunts, uncles, and extended family. I'm honored to call them my new family. They are all very special people to me and it's always a joy to spend time with them.

Today I spent the day with my great Aunt Jo. She's 93 years old and a crack up. She's gotten to the point in her life where she can't be left alone, and looking at her now makes me remember how she was. Believe me, she's still got it, but she just likes to ask the same question every few hours. I think she's just making sure I give her the same answer!! :) She is the last Koza on my grandmother's side. She still remembers everything from growing up, it's just the more current things she really can't remember.

So that's what I've done for the past 2 days. Spent time with those I love, those that I'm getting to know better, and those that make me smile. Please pray for the Knaggs as they are embarking on their new adventure. They will be missed at home by everyone. I'm so happy for family!!!
