we are family

We went to the mountains this weekend with my mom's side of the family- aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.  We had the absolute best time while we were there.  There was a lot of eating (I am still full!!), game playing, and just catching up.  One of my favorite things about my family is that even though we are all in different places (Memphis, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington DC, and Portland!), everytime we are together it's like we all still live down the street from each other.  I am so blessed to have grown up into such a tight knit, close, and loving family and I am so incredibly thankful to have each of them in my life.
