We are Family! :)

About a year and a half ago, my mom told me that she had a brother who she just got in touch with over FaceBook. She would call him and talk to him all the time! He lives in Arizona.
I was very skeptical about him at first. For all I knew, he could be some crazy man or something (bear, monster :P).
After about a year, my Uncle Bob decided he would make a trip from Arizona to good ol Alabama for my sister's college graduation! By this time, I had added him on Facebook myself and talked to him a bit! I was super stoked!
My Uncle and Mom are related on their dad's side of the family. Now, I never met my Grandpa because he past away long before I was born. However, from the descriptions of my Grandpa my mom gave to me growing up, I knew, from the interactions on Facebook and conversations on the phone, my Uncle would remind me alot of my Grandpa! And he most certainly does! He looks just like him!
My uncle is so stinkin cool, yall! And that may sound corny, but it's so true! He plays guitar and harmonica (He's in a band back in Arizona)! He super funny and loves to goof off! He loves playing with the kids! He's just an awesome guy all around. It was such a joy and pleasure to meet him!
Also, as an AWESOME surprise, my cousin Haley (Uncle Bob's daughter) decided to join him! I also added Haley on Facebook and talked to her a bit on the phone before she came too! We were all under the impression that she couldn't come because she's getting MARRIED in October! But she decided kinda last minute to come! Best. Surprise. Ever. Hands. Down!
Haley is such a cool cat! She loves to have fun and is really down to earth. I learned that she's also very creative! She reminds me a lot of my sister Sammy! Haley left today, but it's like I've known her forever! She was only here for 4 days, but anyone could tell she was family just by the way she fit in! She's just as awesome as her dad! :)
All in all, I love the new additions to my family! I have a huge family already, but we've definitely got room for more! I absolutely love my family, and I'm so grateful for all of them, even the ones I haven't met yet! I had a blast with my uncle and cousin, and I know it won't be long til I see them again!
Ta-ta for now!
