I know everyone says they love their family but I REALLY love my family ;-) Jk There are so many times that I am surrounded by them and realize how lucky I am.
The best thing I love about my family is the fact that we all have the best time together because we can still act about as retarded as it can get. My mom and I can start giggling because someone said a word weird and well that is all that she wrote! I love that my mother and I can still dance around the living room floor, singing obnoxiously. I love that my children will have grandparents like that who can get down on the floor with them and play tea party or trains. I absolutely love that my whole family hugs each other, even Wayne and Nick :-) when we say goodbye. And I am greatful that we all say "I love you" often to where no one is wondering otherwise.
My mother and I used to carpool to work together and we did so for a good year, a bit over. She recently has started working at home and now I realize how I took our time for granted because I miss her being in the car with me.
I love that my mother goes out of her way to invite people to her house for dinner and makes people feel warm and welcome. I love the way my Dad will take the shirt off of his back to help the next person. I absolutely love the fact how proud my Dad is to be a Christian and has his bible sitting on his front counter at his work hopefully striking a conversation with someone...if not he will just start it. I love it that my dad still talks like Donald Duck to Aubree and She is the one and only that will crack up at it.
I love it that my Dad talks a lot and most of the time tries to make someone smile while he is running his mouth. I love that I am a lot like my dad :-) Because we can't hold grudges and love being amongst friends and family. I love that my sister still acts like I am 5 and needs to protect me. I love that my sister gets excited about the small things like getting our nails done like I do. I love that my sister has a heart for older people and will go sit and befriend the elderly ladies of the church.
I love that my brother in law loves my sister and treasures her so much. I love that he thinks deeply about what is the next thing he will surprise her with. I love that he can keep her calm when she is getting in a tizzy! I love how he has accepted us all as his family. I love that my brother is such a great father.
I love how patient and kind he is with his daughter and that he makes sure she is very well informed of who God and Jesus is! I love that my sister in law cried when I told her I was pregnant. I love that she jerked me in her arms as soon as I showed them the test. I love that she is so excited over being a first time aunt. I love that she is such a great mother. I love her patience and her love for life.
And I absolutely love my husband. I love that no matter how tough of a man he is, that he started crying when he saw our pregnancy test. I love that he also started crying when we found out we were having two. I love that he started crying when he saw me walk down the isle. I love that he doesn't care if I sit half on top of him on the couch. I love that he would rather be at home with me than anywhere else. I love that we complete each other in small ways. I love his passion for God. I love how he does not care to tell people what he stands for and believes in. I love that he is the one that God chose to be my soulmate.
