Key Points
It was challenging to figure out how to celebrate holidays because our families are so different..
We eventually found a routine that pretty much works for everyone, though it's not perfect...
I had a major crush on Andy, but needless to say, I didn't really exist to him then.. Six years later, we began dating and eventually married, which isn't exactly common these days..
I know this because when I explain how we met ("My sister married my husband's brother"), people's eyes kind of bug out I'm pretty sure they only hear "sisters" and "brothers" and "married" at first...
My family, which consists of my mom, dad, and two sisters, gets together for the big holidays but not always for all the birthdays..
