Most of my family lives in Brownsville, Tx (1,150 miles away). I usually only see them twice a year, sometimes three. I go home for Christmas and then once around the summertime. My sister lives in D.C. which is even further away but we'll be seeing each other in two weeks. We are going to meet in Las Vegas to celebrate her 30th birthday. It will be her first time meeting Alexa so I'm nervous (we've been dating for over 2.5 years!). It's hard having family so far away because I feel like they miss out on a lot. I've met Alexa's family lots of times and hang out with her younger sister, but she doesn't know my family at all.
