Well for the first time ever my family got together and had a family picture made. For those of you who know the history of my family, you may get the heading and laugh. The names have changed over the years, but I think we have grown closer than ever. I can not express in words how much this family means to me. I have a great set of parents, who have loved me unconditionally, even though I have driven them crazy I am sure. These two people have changed my life. I have a great older sister, who now is more than that, she is my friend. I have the best nephew and the two most beautiful nieces in the world. I have a wonderful younger brother, who at times has been the only one I could talk to. There came a time for me when Tammie stopped calling Tammie my step-mom, and she became just mom. And also Ryan and Stacey were no longer my step - siblings and just my brother and sister. Sometimes I miss those times we were all together. My parents may not feel this way. But sometimes i long for the days when we were younger, Stacey was home for college and we were all together. Now we are all married.!!!! Can you believe it, where did the time go. As we grow older and create our own families, the memories take on new meaning. I see the things that my parents did for me, trained me for some of the things I would go through as an adult. Sam and I struggle a little with letting go of our families tradition and creating new ones. We both have such great families its a little hard to let go. Yet I am so thankful that the Lord gave me this family, I have been blessed beyound measure.
