The Chicago Family (the part I hadn't met yet)

David and I made an emergency trip to Chicago this past Saturday to visit his 92 year old grandfather. Grandpa has been so excited about the wedding and we've received letters from him stating such, but I had no idea when I was going to meet him (or the rest of David's family that lives up there.)

Thursday Grandpa went into the hospital and they weren't sure how well he was going to do. He did get out, but who knows how long he has left? So Saturday David and I started on our 9~hour~one~way trip to Chicago to visit.

We arrived at his aunt's and then headed over to Grandpa's assisted living. Lots of aunts and uncles, a couple of cousins, and Grandpa himself. There was an awesome dinner **Chicago pizza, yay~** complete with wine and champagne, and those people are fabulous. I think David and I must have been switched at birth~they are just like me **not quiet at all** and not like him **always quiet and taking it all in**.

I'm glad I got to meet them before joining their family, and I'm glad they like me (David says they do anyway~I think he's right). They rock.
