The time I took a memorial trip to Branson
Jackie Chan once tweeted Family isn’t whose blood you carry It’s who you love and who loves you back. I want to tell you about the time I took a trip to Branson that I will never forget. Some of you probably took an amazing trip you remember. Well I am going to share with you how I met my adopted grandparents, the Christmas days leading up to the trip, and what we did while we were there.

One day I asked my mom to go. I had been trying a long time to get my mom to come to church. She would come off and on but this time we were going to a church that reenacted what life would be like if you are not saved. That day my mom got saved and ever since that day we would come to church early every Sunday and cook breakfast for the kids. It was so cool to see a change in my mom knowing that now we are going to live eternally in Heaven after we die.

Now fast forward I have gotten so close to my new adopted family and my adopted grandma and grandpa are going to take me on a trip to Branson after Christmas. I was so happy I counted down the days to Christmas already but now I am counting down the days till after Christmas. Christmas eve comes fast. Every year we went to my real grandma's house so nothing was going to change this year. I thought everything out and my mom and I would go to my grandma’s house on Christmas eve stay there till Christmas day then leave that night. That way I could be back the next day. This Christmas eve the procrastination was strong and I saved all my wrapping for that day so we did all the wrapping and proceed to go to grandmas house. Long car ride puts me to sleep so I fell asleep on the way up

The making of the tamales would take up to 2 days because they have to make enough for everyone. My mom would wake up early to start making them, and like around noon my aunties would come over to help. When we would put up the tree for Christmas, my mom would make hot chocolate with marshmallows and I would get warm under my soft blanket. I would watch movies all day and stay in pajamas.

I'm exploring various areas for retirement, which presently includes Raleigh/Durham, and possibly Asheville, for visits up to six months of the year.
