Introduce Yourself

Hopefully, you received an invite in your email to come by and say hello. Maybe this will take the awkwardness out of meeting people you don't know outside of the fact that their last name is Cruz and we share a kinship. I'll start out..y'all just jump in.
I'm Reesa, daughter of Ted and Melanie Cruz. Born in Pasadena. Stayed in CA until the Beatles came to the US when we moved to upper NY state, where I went to HS. Traveled around, lived in NYC, Boston, San Francisco, Alaska, Dallas, Boston again, and back to Dallas. I have 3 kids, twins, Robyn and Kira who are coming to the reunion. They are 22. My son, Quinn, 26 is back in Boston, and can't afford the trip as he and his fiance are getting new digs. Robyn just set a date for her wedding next April.
Kira, me and her dad, Bob, live together with my dad. We have Robyn's dog and 2 kitties. Bob keeps a veggie garden in the backyard. He's writing a book about his life. My dad plays in a banjo band and teaches ESL classes. He writes movie reviews. We see over 100 movies a year and all for free. I run a advance movie screening group as Dallas is one of the largest test markets in the country. Kira takes classes at the local rec center that has a day program for special needs adults.
See ya in CA.
