I've got a lotta love!

Day 5 - Publicly profess my love for a blogger friend, non-blogger friend, or family member.

Confession: I haven't really branched out into the blogger community very well! BUT with this new , Blog Everyday in May Challenge, I've already found a TON of new blogs that I really like! Basically what I'm saying is, I don't really have a lot of blogger friends.

It's ok. I'm fine with it.

Sike, I feel like such a loser.

But really, since we were also given the option to blog about a friend or family member......I still can't choose someone.

Shocking.

Here's why though: I have been ABUNDANTLY blessed with amazing friends and family.

 I'm talking about the kind of friends that have shown me grace and love when I have not deserved it in the slightest. They've given me a listening ear when all I want to talk about is myself.  They have prayed with me, grieved with me, laughed with me, sang with me, cried with me, and loved me unconditionally.

Some of my very best friends from college celebrating at Kirstie's wedding!!

I'm not exaggerating. Near and far, I have been blessed with friends that I will have for the rest of my life and I pray that I can always show them how much they mean to me. I could go on and on but I hear you gagging.

Some of the most wonderful girls/friends ever at one of our retreats!

 

And my family, is soooooo crazy in the best sort of way. I'm not even talking about that generic "oh my family is crazy" bit. I'm serious. Please spend a holiday with us. You'll need no further proof. But what they lack in sanity they make up for in straight up awesomeness and hilarious shenanigans. I have received so much from my family in the form of love, courage, inspiration, imagination, generosity, and yes, money. I couldn't ask for better people to raise and nurture me. And as IF that isn't enough, the family that I have been blessed with through marriage (and let's be real, I was family WAAAAYYY before it was official) is OUT of this world. They're so good to me and I cherish them deeply!

Our wedding day - with my handsome dad, two beautiful sisters, and the rock of our family, my grandmother.

  

Cousins!! 95% of my childhood memories involve them, a tiny basement, and the Boxcar Children! (My twin sis Candice and I are the babies!)

 

My mom's side of the family on our wedding day! Such a beautiful/special group! And as you can see, this is obviously where I get my height!

 

My beautiful in-laws. Can we just be real for a second and look at HOW photogenic they are? Kind of crazy.

 Sooooo pick one? Huh-uh. Can't do it.

The fact that I have more than one to pick from is truly amazingly wonderful and brings me so much joy.

I've just got a lotta love! I'm all unicorns and rainbow bright over here.

Oh well, something has to brighten up this lovely gross weather we're having here, might as well be the loves of my life!

 

And don't even get me started on my husband....we'll be here for days while I tell you all the wonderful and special things I love about him.

 

Another time.
