So…I was just kinda putter around the apartment today. Cleaning up as much as I can with stuff that has no home all over the place, made some brownies, yadda, yadda, yadda. Well, I sit down at my computer and typed ‘Penaluna’ into the search bar in Facebook. Wow, lots of people with that name, most of them are in Britain, really weird considering it’s a surname with it’s origins in Spain. Bunch of people in NY too.
Went on over to Myspace and did the same thing. Added that I wanted it to search within 50 miles of Monticello, NY. and I got the hit I was looking for. One Amy Penaluna. I really wasn’t expecting anything. So I wrote her a quick little note, letter know who I was and that I wanted to get to know her and anyone in the family that wanted to get to know me.
Got home from work and picking up the kids from mom and dads and checked my e-mail. I had two New Friend requests, so I log onto myspace to check ‘em out and one is from Amy and the other is from my niece, Amy’s oldest daughter. So that’s my cool news of the year… she said that my birth mom was ecstatic and she had been looking for years but had no idea where to look.
Ever since I was pregnant with Lili it’s been really important to me to find my birth family. And now I have. I’m excited. Well, night all! Hope everyone has a good Friday!!
