I just got home from Hoopston, Illinois from a wedding. It was pretty fun, although sometimes boring. I got to meet my great grandfather for the first time ever in my life. It was pretty weird but cool. I heard some crazy ass stories about his side of the family. I found out I'm related to Denise Richards, lol. I REALLY AM! She is my cousin's niece. I got to see my mom singing karaoke, which was quite silly. My mother, Johnny, my cousin Dylan and my cousin Jesse went to go see Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle of Life. IT wasn't a good movie, but it certainly was entertaining! Their movie theatre was REALLY cool, it was built in 1922 and it was really cheap and the food was really cheap! The seats were all nice and big and spacey! Yay!
My mom read this 18 chapter story my Aunt Midge wrote about our family. It was really interesting, it covered every generation since our family came over from Wales, England. We were apparently a family of coal miners, some of my relatives had weird names, including Effie, Issac Newton Drake and George Washington something or other. OH and my mom's last name comes from the French meaning "The Fire" lol, how cool!!
