Between NYC and Lisbon: Family.... Bare with me... It's Christmas Time

I have a crazy family, i've known that from the time when i was real small and talked to others that looked at me weird when i mentioned that we all saw each other (all 15 or more of us) every other weekend...

But it's cool to have a weird family! Granted, it can be intimidating to most outsiders (just ask the only boyfriend i ever introduced to them... yeah i learned with my mistakes!) but to me it just feels good to know that i can count on not 2 but more than 10 people to have opinions on every single thing i throw at them concerning my life. It's feels awesome to know that they just believe so much in me and my abilities... even when i might doubt them myself and it's just great to know that they dont mind, and might even like it a bit too much, to make a fool out of themselves to get a good laugh out of the older ones. In the modern times that we live in where most families are just the mom, dad and kids (and most times not even), mine has mothers, fathers, uncles, cousins, grandparents and others that just know your whole life and still love you no matter what!

But my family is also one to adapt to new things... where before we only had the phone to keep in touch, which made it harder to know the news of our people in the States, we now have moved on to the internet and created an email chain that everyday keeps us all closer and makes us be up to date with every single news from any of our family members... in Lisbon or in NYC.

And ever since Summer ended, my uncle started is snownews, which is basically our daily digest of all things Andorra or snow related... it's the funniest thing! He always send us a little something with a picture to remind us of what to look for. And today i wish i was here...
