The Week Before the Long Weekend

I really thought I would be scared about going to my mom's house for the first time, but as the time approaches now I'm getting more excited.   I have met her now husband before but it was so long ago that I don't remember what he looks like.  I just spoke to him on the phone the other day, he going to fix my bike for me so I can actually use it this summer.  I really want to take it down to the beach.  I will also be meeting a step brother for the first time.  He's one of the husbands three kids.  I really hope that's all, I don't want to be overwhelmed.   I am going to bring some food with me and either make up a stuffed pepper or the Potato french fry.  I've also decided to stay overnight.  I know the fireworks won't be as nice as the ones in my town, but hopefully the company will make up for it.
My brother who was the only family I had for a while but he has ditched me on every holiday since thanksgiving, so it will be nice not to spend one alone.
