Always learning

I’m a person who is always learning something new. During our visit with my aunt last night I found something out about my grandma that I never knew. My mind is still kind of blown! 

I have always known she was adopted. I also knew that she didn’t know who her birth parents were. My aunt was able to do some of the ancestry stuff and found who her birth mom was, a living sister and a brother who has passed away. And-this is what blows my mind. Her name was changed after she was adopted! Her name used to be Ruby Jean Greenley. I don’t know why I’m so in awe of this, but I really am! Finding things out about family like this is just so cool to me! 

On that little historical note-I got to see my other aunt and uncle today. Jim and Hellen live in Kitery Maine. It’s a life goal to go out there and visit them someday! I’ve been all over the east coast, but never to Maine. They’re pretty cool, down to earth people. 😊 Jimmy was in the Navy and taught at a Naval base. Pretty cool! We had a nice quick visit. Wasn’t long enough but better than nothing!! 

And of course we spent more time with Lori! Her niece and my cousin Sophia (she is my Aunt Dori’s daughter-she couldn’t make the trip this time), who is 10, really hit it off with Iz and Vi and Ava Jo. They were planning their next vacations by the time we had to leave! It’s so hard to say good bye when you have SO much fun! But we also know we’re welcome in Florida anytime! Oh and Lori- I had a blast hacking your phone!!! 😉😉 Sassy aunts have to have sassy nieces. 🤣









I had a blast getting to see so much family these past two days. It’s still not over. We have a family day with Ryan’s parents tomorrow. 

Henry’s off racing his four wheeler tonight in Newton. I’m a ball of nerves at home as Ryan sends me pictures and updates!! I can’t wait to hear Henry tell me alllll about it though!! 

 Until next time!
