Family...isn't it about time?

I've been thinking a lot lately about how lucky I am to have my family....all quirks included :) I couldn't imagine life without them!






















This Saturday, my mom hosted a very fun family reunion for her side of the family. It was surprizing to see how many people came. We played a few games, and we talked a ton. I'm sure that way back in the day when these cousins got to gether, it probably never occured to them that they would be together 20 years from then and talking about their kids going to college. I wonder what a reunion will feel like for me 20 years from now :)


The interesting thing about this reunion was that there was a funeral for our sweet little 8-year-old neighbor a few hours before the reunion started. It certainly sparked a lot of thought and appreciation for my family. I'm grateful for my family and for all of the things we have been through together. I can't wait for the many more years ahead of us!


Dear (future) me:
