Family Time

If there’s one thing most people do around the holidays, it’s spend extra time with their family. Whether it be visiting those that live in a different state or just simply making more time, it’s a nice part of the busy season. Personally, my relationship with my family has been a journey. We have times of not speaking for weeks and then other times of seeing each other just a bit too much. I’m happy to write that at this very moment, it seems we have found a great balance. I love my family, but too much time together is no good…and too much time apart makes the heart ache.

I just wanted to share how lucky I am to have such a loving family. The fact that my mother in law is becoming a part of my blood family is something I’ve always dreamed of. My youngest brother is graduating college this weekend and my middle brother just passed his test to go into the insurance business that he’s been striving for. My parents are happy together and my mom and I are getting closer as my pregnancy becomes more “real.” It’s really a great time for us and I’m so blessed to have all of them in my life. Not to mention the extras that come with them (my sister in law who I rarely see but always have a good time with, my future sister in law who will soon live only 15 minutes away and the girlfriend that’s made my brother so happy). And well, I just can’t not mention my wonderful husband. Seriously, he’s the best guy out there and I’d be lost without him. I could go on and on because my extended family is all great too – but that’s just too much emotions for me! haha.

So, for any family members reading this – I love you!! I’m so proud to be a part of this crazy little family of ours.
