For those of you that kept saying my dad will come around, turns out you may have been right on this one. Even though he continues to deny there was even a problem in the first place, I have noticed he has made some big changes. He is using the "h" word and started making plans for us to come to the family reunion in October. When I told him we might not be able to make it, he said if it becomes a financial thing, he would take care of it. I thought if/when this happened, I would be having none of it. I usually have the "screw me once, you're dead to me" mentality, but that doesn't seem to be the case this time. Which is nice because now I don't have to waste energy being pissed at him for the rest of his life.
Another big change: I can't WAIT to start having babies. Crazy, right? My short term goal is to not get pregnant before May so that if we did get a little surprise, I would at least be able to still fit in my dress. My long term goal is to not get pregnant before the end of the year because I'd like to enjoy our time as newlyweds (at least for 6 months). After that, well, we'll leave it to God :)

Ohana
I just got off the phone with my mother and she shared something with me that makes me cry a little. I want to shout it from the rooftops (and facebook) about it, but I think it's still somewhat of a surprise. However, I feel like my blog is a safe place to do it because the chances of the person for whom the surprise is intended for reading my blog is slim to none.
That being said, if my cousin is reading this, keep your mouth shut; your mother doesn't know this is gonna go down. Thanks.
One of my aunts recently found out she had stomach cancer. She had surgery to remove the tumor but will still be undergoing chemo. My mother said that my aunt found out that she will be losing her hair, and my aunt could only cry. My mother and her youngest sister are going to Savannah to be with my aunt and, to show their love and support, are shaving their heads. Not cutting their hair short. Shaving. Bald. Gone.
I think they are amazing and I wish I was going to be there with them.
