Technically, they aren’t my family, but in reality, they are. My second family. For as long as I can remember, the McNeely’s have been a part of my life. A huge part.
Remember when I said I had multiple BFF’s? Well, you are about to meet another one!
Jordan and I have been friends since before we even knew what friends were. 28 years ago, our mothers met at the park and we’ve been in each other’s lives since. (Except for the hiatus we took during the middle school years…)
She is the reason I missed the New Kids on the Block concert and I’ve never let her forget it. I could be “Mrs. Jordan Knight” if it weren’t for her. I’m not bitter…and she’s not sorry, but I keep her around anyway for entertainment purposes.
I’ve been on almost every family vacation with them since 1996, so when it came time to plan the latest trip (the 1st in several years) it was a MUST that I clear my schedule…and I was happy to oblige!
Now, to go on vacation with the McNeely family is, well…like being on a reality TV show. There is never a dull moment and I was grateful for the week-long entertainment fest. They are a loud, fun, dramatic, no-holds-bar bunch and I love each and every crazy member like my own…even Teddy.
