In the spirit of the holiday, Jeff and I decided we needed to see all sides of the family today. We were sure to take time out of our seven hour drive back to Cleveland, to stop and see his parents, siblings, and grandparents on this special day. Really, it would be rather ridiculous if Jeff was here in New York and didn't see his family. What made it more wonderful is that his family didn't know he was here. In fact, they believed that I had left him by himself to celebrate alone in Cleveland. Needless to say, I was on their s*#& list!
Joyful hysteria broke out as Jeff's family discovered he was right there to celebrate Christmas with them. Okay, so not quite to celebrate, but basically to eat some delicious homemade lasagna and run. Delicious it was, and run we did. Not because we didn't love our company, but because we still had five hours to drive and an impending rain/sleet storm. Luckily for us the rain/sleet was minimal rain that spread a distance of about 150 miles. Not too bad considering we drove about 450.
Arriving in Cleveland was a relief. A big weight lifted off of my shoulders. I wasn't nervous about the drive; it's just nice to be together, Jeff, Shea, and I. Although most of our Christmas was spent in a car, we were together. I wouldn't want it any other way!
