Wasatch loop. Felt pretty good!

I found out some more stuff about my biological family yesterday. I’d asked my mom if there was a way I could look at my biological line for family history work and it turned into searching up Facebook profiles and mugshots :) turns out I have two half-brothers I didn’t know about. My parents have been in jail once a year and both got assault charges for beating each other up. Also my paternal grandmother wrote letters to us and blamed my biological mom for everything believing my biological dad was innocent, she claimed that my mom hit my uncle joe with a car. And my other uncle did a selfie video thing on Facebook I think talking to my biological brother saying “I miss you, wish you were here, this one’s for you” and poured out a bottle of beer on the ground in front of the camera. What is my family? I actually laughed everything was so ridiculous.

On a more serious note, I’m very grateful I was adopted into such an amazing family. It was really eye opening. Here I’ve been feeling inferior and like I don’t quite measure up, and yet I’m the only one from my biological family to go to college, stay away from drugs and alcohol, and my twin and I are the only ones to stay out of trouble with the law. It’s shocking to realize just how different my life could’ve been.

Oh my gosh, I laughed out loud when I read mug shots. Sorry! LOL! See?

When I was in the MTC, my parents didn't write to me that often. Like all the other elders in my district would get weekly letters and I think I maybe got two the entire two months. So it was kind of a big deal when I finally got my first one. My mom was telling me about her brother and how he got arrested for robbing another bank. We laughed so hard that we cried!

It's hard to escape your raising - good or bad.
