Family Ties



i don’t write a lot about my family.  it’s not that they’re not great…. it’s just that we live far away from each other and don’t have the opportunity to get together much.  when we do, it’s a sweet time, though, and it was really the main reason for my trip to michigan.

there was some awesome girl get-away time….

















time with my amazing brother….



time with my nephews and their little ones….







i’m fully aware of what a blessing it is to have a family in which, not only is everyone pretty healthy, we all actually GET ALONG (and like each other!)… what a gift -  i love you guys!



as a bonus, i had a rare opportunity to spend some time on the water with some high school buddies.  great times, great memories…. i’m a lucky girl!!

  5. It is wonderful to have family where everybody gets along with each other and you all like each other. Not like our family, unfortunately, and they're on a different continent which doesn't make things easier (although sometimes it actually does!).
