F is for Family

Where would I be without my family? We are so close and do so much together that I cannot imagine living far away from them. We have a bond that's hard to explain. My dad and brother car pool to work everyday and work the same job side by side for 7 days a week and 10 hours a day. Then when they do get some down time...they're spending it together.

I arrange my part time work schedule so that Mom and I have time to walk and visit together twice a week. I enjoy our talks more than our walks. It's always good to just catch up. My sister was in the room for all three deliveries of my children, as I was for hers.

Kimberly and I stick up for, and protect Aric, because he'll always be our little brother. Aric sticks up for us, because in his eyes, he's our big brother (only by height) =)

My parents have been married for 32 years. The love they share makes me want to be a better married couple. It's hard being a boilermakers wife, my dad traveled a lot when we were young, forcing my mom to be a stay at home mom and raising us on her own a majority of the time. Even with that being said, she now chooses to stay at home and raise six more kids...the grandkids: Wyatt, Gage, Delaney, Garrett, Lucy and Brilyn. She's an angel!

The bond my family shares is deep and true, and I hope that when my kids grow up they want to spend time with Jason and I as we do my parents!

F is for Family!
