Long Lost Cousins

The starter went out on Seans truck yesterday while he was at work. And my Grandma Bogard was over here when I found out and offered to help us pay for it, so I went with her out to her house so she could write a check for me. (Yea, she did something nice for me.. imagine that.) Anyway, to get to her house we have to drive past the road that Christina lives on, so as we passed it... I mentioned that that was the street Billy's girlfriend lived on. So Grandma says... Yea Shirley and her daughter live down there too. Remember her, she was the one who had triplets? So I told her yep I remembered Shirley. But then I told her that Christina was also a triplet, cept that she was the only girl, her momma had 2 boys as well. Grandma stopped talking for am inute and looked at me and said.... Christina, Patrick, and John? Ummmm.... Yea.

So... turns out.. Christina and her two brothers are my 2nd cousins. My Grandma and their grandma were cousins. Neat huh? Christina's grandma, and great grandma were both at Sean and I's wedding, they remember Sean wearing chains.. hehe. They remember meeting Billy almost 6 years ago. No fear in Christina and Billy being related though thank god.. lol.
Small world huh? I've known this chic for years now and had no clue we were secretly related...

Funniest part though is that this isn't the first time I've found out that I'm related to someone I've known for years. Same thing happened with me and Mark (mandas husband). BUt that relation (i think) has been terminated since my cousin and his cousin got divorced... not sure how that works.. lol

But, theres no way to terminate the relation between Christina and I, so we're cousins on my dads side of the fmaily.. too neat I think. lol I knew I liked her for a reason. hehe And now I don't have to worry that if something happens between her and Billy ever, he can't say "you can't be friends with her anymore" Umm,, yea I can, she's family. =)

Well, gonna run.. Have to take grandma to the store in a bit and I still need to wake up.. lol
Have a great weekend all. =)
