here's to the vultures in 2013-2014

My mom's family is fighting hardcore right now. One of my uncles threatened to literally fight my brother, but I think Joey disarmed him. Probably. Either way, as I informed my aunt tonight when she called me, I am not coming to the family reunion even if we were available, because frankly, I don't feel safe anymore. Not with my mom a "nonperson" and my brother threatened, and no one going, "hey, THIS IS WRONG AND YOU CAN'T SAY SHIT LIKE THAT."

It's a very broken, hurt, and angry family with a lot of problems to work out in every physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual spectrum imaginable (mostly spiritual and emotional). I have a lot of feelings that I'm struggling to put into words that I wish I didn't have. It'd be a lot easier to just walk away and leave it all behind.

So instead, I will post some of the official race photos that went up today! Because we love them and Aaron is freaking adorable. Even if they are not the most flattering angles of me. /vain

If you look closely in the last one, you can kind of see my ring. :) We're seriously considering putting that on wedding stuff.
