Last night my wife picked up my Grandmother from the airport, she will be staying with us for the next three weeks. I am excited about this visitation for many reasons, first being this solidifies my role as an adult. This is officially the first thing I've done, besides paying bills, getting married, and having kids, that makes me feel like what society deems a real adult. Last year I had my Mom visit for a little while, but she decided to come and I wasn't even in town at the time. This time, not only am I in town, but I had her flown out to visit, meaning I could afford to take care of it. I haven't seen my Nana in about 3 years so it's good to see her. I used to go and visit her every summer for about a month or so when I was little. I'm originally from Jersey and even after she moved to Virginia when the real estate market began to crumble in Newark, I continued to visit her on a somewhat regular basis. Although I haven't kept in touch with most of my family, she is the one person that I talk to the most. When my Mom moved back to Germany, I talked to her about as much as I talked to her when she was still here, but my Nana always kept in touch with me. I love my Nana and I'm glad she's here. FYI (She's the one standing up in white in the picture.)
