So we stopped at this look out along the Pacific coast, and there was this biker gang from Cananda headed to Orange county. I jumped out of the car and talked to them and got my picture with them. I think I made their day. Now if any of you mess with me... I got a biker gang to back me up!!
I've always wanted to do this, and I did.
Scott is so cool!!
Yay!!!!
This is one of my favorite pictures ever taken, I love the sunset behind us and we look so cute... Good times!!So I loved Oregon, it was so laid back and calm, I loved the people, and the food, and the Salt water taffy. We had a really good time, and I think that I honestly could live there! Now I'm going to start my complaining, I must admit as much as I loved Oregon, I did not have the bests of times on this vacation. So I have a total of 5 people in my family, including me, and with in-laws and Nephews that total is now 9. We went to Oregon with 10 people, 10! I can't even think of 10 people that I actually like, let alone 10 people I'd want to travel with. Now planning for 10 people is hard, and I give Scott parents props for coming up with things to do for 10 people that met everyone needs. Even though we did so many fun things, some arguments still arose. Now in my family if you want your opinion, and desires to count you need to be part of the debate, so if you leave the debate, you are basically telling me that you don't care and your are going to do whatever the group decides. I still feel this is true. Apparently in Scotts family you can be there or not and still be an active voice, which is so weird to me. I also learned that traveling with 10 people no one is on time but me. I thought leaving at 9 o'clock meant being ready and leaving at 9 o'clock, clearly that means 10:20.
We shared a room with Scotts sisters and their husbands, which was nice, everyone was clean and we shared stuff, and we ate together, so I didn't mind that so much, but to end any arguments Scott and I chose to sleep on the Murphy bed in the middle of the main living room area, and give Scott's sisters and spouses the two bedrooms. Next time this will not be the case. I had no privacy, which being the only girl in my family I'm kinda used to. Now I wasn't terribly bugged by this, but it was hard when I was ready for bed and no one else was, and when I wanted snuggle with my husband I couldn't, and basically Scott and I got no privacy, and out of everyone we were the most recently wed. Scott kept telling me that next time we take a trip we were owed a room, and I'm going to push for that if we go next time. I'm glad that Scott was there, he helped me to understand his family better, but I just felt that often my needs weren't met, which is why people get upset and have problems, which is why I'm venting about this now on my blog. I'm glad I know this because I could vent to Scott at night when we were finally alone, and he would make me feel better. I'm so glad I have him, he calms me down so much and I think he really understands me.
Well, I left early to come home, I know it sounds like I gave up right, but I didn't, for my Birthday my best friend bought me tickets to the Kelly Clarkson concert and that happend to fall during our trip. So I flew home 2 days before everyone else drove home. I spent 2 1/2 days with out Scott and nearly died! Well not really, but in the two years that I've known my husband this is the longest time that we have been apart. We have spent everyday together for the last two years, no lie. Of course we work together, so even if we weren't hanging out or dating, we saw each other at work. I had no idea what to do with myself with out Scott. Luckily Shae and Laura are seriously the two greatest friends ever and helped me during my trying time. Alright enough for now, I'm sure I have better things to do.... nah!!!

Sorry you don't like us. We really are likeable and fun people.
Sorry.. But I agree with Christy :-)
Loving people and liking people are different things, I can love you and not know you enough to like you... Sorry if you don't like this
As a non family member I'd like to say that no matter how people treat you, or how bad you may feel towards them you ARE entitled to you own personal opinion. However, by publishing it for them to read, you are just making it harder to have a relationship with your in-laws. You are deepening the wounds. Sorry to say, but it also makes you look bad, not just to your family, but also to any other random person (like myself)who may stumble across your blog. I really hope the best for you and that you can straighten things out with your family and with yourself. You have to try though, and publishing this opinion is not going to get you anywhere but further in a rut and more bitter towards each other. This is just an opinion of middle aged lady who wants to see the BEST from you. Be your best. I promise if you be YOUR best, things will work out.
From reading your post Mysti, it sounds like you are just getting used to being around a family that is larger than yours and that you wanted some privacy and some time alone with your husband. I don't think you posted anything about not liking your in-laws. The issues you communicated were that you guys think about time differently, your family makes group decisions differently, and that you wanted more privacy than what you actually got. It actually sounds like it was a really fun trip. I'm not reading or seeing the part where you said you did not like your inlaws. Getting used to different people and the different ways they do things is a very NORMAL part of marriage and becoming part of a new extended family. Christy, I am sure you are wonderful and very fun people and I bet that you will see that Mysti is fun and wonderful too. Sounds like you guys just need to communicate a little better. We need differences, don't we? They are what help us grow as individuals and as families. :)
