Our teacher allowed us to use words that being with 'X' or 'ex'.

 "No family is perfect... we argue, we fight, we even stop talking to each other at times, but in the end family is family... the love will always be there." 

"Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." 

"Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect. It means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."

          X is for extremely excited. Just before Easter Break, my sister came home with some news, some interesting news: she was pregnant.

          I never thought that I would become an aunt so soon, but I'm excited to see how this will turn out. During school breaks, I am supposed to babysit her child. Right now, we don't know if she will have a baby girl or boy.

          On Easter evening, my family, my mother, sister, two brothers, and I went to IHOP for dinner before going home instead of eating more barbeque chicken. During dinner, my sister subtly stated that I was going to be the Godmother.

          After that dinner, we joked about how I was going to be "Aunt Green Bean" and the "Fairy Godmother." We keep coming up with titles relating to my nickname "Green Bean."

          My sister's child is due for December 3rd the same day as my grandmother's birthday. Our family has joked around that at this point, we should have a "December Party" along with the "May Party." In our family, we have many birthdays in May, so to make it easy with the planning, we have a huge party celebrating everyone who has a birthday in May. In December we have six, plus my sister's unborn child, so it would make sense for us to create a yearly "December Party."

          Long story short, I am going to not only be an Aunt but a Godmother, too. I am extremely excited to meet my nephew or niece and spend days and night with him or her.

A/N: After this was written we found out that she was having triplets, and is now due early to mid-August. Yay! We have also been calling her children my "neicephews".
