My Wonderful Family

I have felt a little left out lately because everyone seems to be up to date on the blog scene and I haven't been on in a long time. I saw my sister-in-law, Jennifer, blogging this morning and it made me think that I need to blog a little more. Blogging is kind of the new age version of writing in a diary and goodness knows I had tons of diaries growing up. I feel that my diaries/blogs now are a little better and don't deal with who I played Barbies with or what boy in elementary/middle school that I had a crush on, but rather real world stuff. Examples coming...

First let me say that I have an absolutely amazing family!!! I look at other people's families and compare to mine and just praise God for him blessing me with such an AWESOME family. We have a blast when we all get together, and my family is just awesome... have I said that?!?!

Within my family, I have my oldest brother Patrick and his wife Chelsea and their daughter, McKenna, who I absolutely ADORE! I always wanted to have a little brother and sister and never got to be, so McKenna is kind of like the little sister I never had. Patrick and Chelsea love that little girl to death, and you can truly see the love they have for her. I look in the newspaper and hear about parents mistreating, hurting, or even killing their babies and cannot even imagine. Patrick and Chelsea are truly amazing parents who will be great to as many kids as they decide to have.

Next, I have my other brother Landon and his wife Jennifer and their soon to be children, Dylan and Kaylan. Yep that's right, I named 2 names, which means TWINS!!! There have been some complications with these little babies because Kaylan hasn't been growing like she should, but it is absolutely amazing to see Landon and Jen's strength. They are so strong and what makes them strong is their faith in God. They constantly pray and talk about their faith in God. It is so incredible to witness their faith in God and their hope and strength. I just know that both Kaylan and Dylan are going to make it. God is probably thinking, "OK OK already I heard all 30,000 of your prayers... I got it under control, don't worry." I cannot wait to meet my new niece and nephew come June, July or August!!!

My parents are wonderful as well!! They have an unconditional love for all of us and I hope that one day I can be half as good of parents as they were to me. Plus, they raised an amazing daughter (ME) so they really can't go wrong. haha....

I had a great weekend with all of them and can't wait to see them all again. Another great thing about the weekend is that Jeff (the boyfriend) made it back to the U.S. today safe and sound!! :-) Until next "BLOGGY BLOG BLOG".... Keep praying for Kaylan and Dylan!!!
