My Family Album

    This gallery features photos of me and my corny family. Unfortunately, I don't have as many family pics as I'd like where I look decent or presentable. I will add to it as more pictures are taken (don't hold your breath though).

    This picture was taken in May of 1996, Memorial Day Weekend. Here is (from left to right) me, my half-cousin Debora, and my sister Jenna. We are at the home of our relatives in Eau Claire.
    We got to meet Debora for the first time on that weekend, as she had been given up for adoption at birth and separated from her biological mother for several years. It was a very happy reunion. Hmmm, I wonder if the standing order of myself, Debora, and Jenna in this picture could be interpreted as a political metaphor?

    Here's another one taken during our "Debora reunion." This one features Debora, me (smack in the center, still wearing that damn beret!), and Debora's friend Delores.
    Both Debora and Delores came from Oregon to visit all of our relatives (mom's side of the family).

    This picture was from my second-favorite Christmas to date. In December of 1996, My family and I made a pilgrimage to Buda, Texas to spend Christmas week with my dad's sister, Eileen, and Eileen's husband, Ken. They were great! Eileen and Ken's hospitality was top-notch!
    Pictured above in Eileen and Ken's kitchen are: (seated in the front row, left to right) my dad's youngest sister Brenda (from Illinois, she's a real ham!); my dad's younger sister, Jeanne; and Ken.
    Back row (standing, left to right): Jenna; my mom; Jeanne's wife, Sarah (yes, they're lesbians); Eileen; and me (looking like a morphed-out zombie).
    That purple dinosaur atrocity in the middle is a Christmas pinata that Jeanne and Sarah (I consider them both my aunts) brought with them from their home in New Mexico (there was no candy in it, and we never got around to breaking it).

    This is me showing off a corsage that I received for being inducted into NHS (National Honor Society) my sophomore year of high school, October 1997.

    My family and I, standing outside the auditorium after my NHS induction ceremony (October 1997).
    Pictured are (from left to right) my mom, my dad, me (holding my NHS certificate), my grandpa (mom's father), and my grandma (mom's mother).

    Same as above, except my dad swapped spots with Diane, my mom's best friend. Diane is wearing the red turtleneck.

    My favorite Christmas ever was spent with my family in Las Vegas, Nevada for the wedding of my cousin, Tom. Here we are in December of 1997 gathered around the bride and groom (it was an outdoor wedding).
    Pictured (from left to right): my dad's younger brother, Jimmy (from California); my mom; me (I wasn't on the steps so I look shorter than I actually am in this picture); my grandma's best friend, Dorothy; my cousin, Travis (Tom's brother, standing on the steps); my other grandma (dad's mother, in the red dress); Tom's bride, Jamie (wearing the wedding dress); Tom (a member of the U.S. Air Force); Franny (Tom's mother, one my dad's younger sisters); Franny's husband, Allen (Tom's father, Franny's husband); Jenna (another rare picture of my sister, she HATES being photographed); and my dad (he got half-cut out of the picture, HA! HA!)
