Family Ties

It had been a while since we were all together at Chris & Cassie's. Andrew was out of the hospital, Jake's new girlfriend was out of town which meant Jake was back with us again, and Hasen-Beau were gone so I was present. We were all there, and it was just our old gang again (except for this one lady from St. George not too many of us knew).

As much as all the fun I've been having with my new friends lately, there was definitely a sense of familiarity & sort of a coming home feeling to the evening, like the way it felt when I used to go home for the holidays in college. It was like being with my family again and realizing how much I adore & missed being with them all, even though I've been neglecting them a bit with the excitement of being around the Logan crowd.

To top it off, Chris showed us a bunch of Youtube clips of sitcoms we used to watch as kids, and we all sang along. (Punky Brewster, Family Ties, Silver Spoons, Growing Pains, Alf, the Wonder Years, Different Strokes, Small Wonder, Mr. Belvedere, Who's the Boss, etc.) We ooh-ed & ahh-ed over all the great shows commenting on how they don't make tunes like that anymore. I must admit, I got a little teary-eyed singing along to Family Ties because I was surrounded by people who love me the most in SLC - my family, my true A-team.
