Nathan

As we become older, family seems to become more important. That said many years ago I took it upon myself to make sure I visited my aunt and uncle out near the coast more often. Most of my relatives live in the Midwest and it is hard to visit with them much. But my aunt and uncle here I could see on occasion. They kept me up to date on various other relatives and how they were doing. One of those relatives they told me about is my cousin Nathan. Guess to be correct that is my second cousin Nathan. We share a great-grandmother in common. I have heard wonderful stories over the years. Right now my cousin is having a great adventure and teaching in Italy. My aunt gave me the link to his blog so I could read about it. And then me being me....I had to leave a comment or two. And then he left me a comment, but unfortunately he hasn't a clue as to who I am. So I told him how I got the link to the blog. And then I commented his comment about us being cousins. And maybe, hopefully someday we will meet in person.
That said I have to say his blog has really shown me what a wonderful young man he is. He is charming and funny and very smart. I think he got that from my side of the family. :P
