Countdown...5 weeks 1 day

Yes! I'm finally blogging again! February was an interesting month with my shoulder & neck pain, I could barely sit at the computer, let alone type!
Anyway, I have a countdown, T-minus 5 weeks, 1 day until my trip to Omaha.

I know the question on everyone's mind..."Why are you going to Omaha?"

And here is the answer, put more simply, but its way more complicated than one might think!
I am visiting Nebraska to "re-meet" my biological's Dad's side of the family, The Hudson's. I have seen none of them since I was about 2 or 3 years old, I don't remember any of them, and of course I have cousins whom I have never met, but can't wait to meet!!!
In fact, I have developed a sort of online sisterhood with my cousin Jennifer and I am SO excited to meet her. We seem so much alike in a lot of crazy ways!
I also, am so thrilled to see my brother, Danny, again! I haven't seen him since I was in the 5th grade, which was eons ago (it seems)
My sister, Michele, is also going, and I've always been in contact with her, but crazy thing, I haven't seen her since she sang in my wedding in 2002. That's way too long.
I'll be gone for 4 days, away from the comfort of my husband and my kids, but its something I really should do alone, at least for the first time.

I spoke to my parents about this, to see what they thought, and they are so supportive of this decision to meet everyone again or some for the first time. They knew it would be something I would want to do, but haven't pushed me, but supported & encouraged me in any way I needed that.

So, now that you know the reason for my trip to Omaha, Nebraska, you can stop asking yourself "Man, if she was taking a trip, shouldn't it be somewhere like Hawaii?" (you can tell my husband that though, Hawaii would be great)
