My Family

I've been in DC for four days. We came in to pick up my sister and hang out together for a while, before heading back to the mountains to prepare for Thanksgiving. It's been so good to be reminded of how much I completely love my family. We've eaten some amazing food, laughed, had long talks, and even had one "tense discussion".

To give you a little snapshot:

Last night we spent about 20 minutes trying to decide on a movie we could all watch together in the room. 10 of those minutes were spent in side splitting, teary eyed laughter when mom thought dad suggested we watch "Chocolate Thunder" (he asked about "Tropic Thunder"). Any family that can totally lose it and laugh for 10 minutes about a porn joke gets an A+ in my book =).

I really am very blessed. There aren't that many guys in the world who have the privilege of simply praying "Lord, help me be as of a good a father as my dad. Help me find a woman like my mom. Let my children be as close as I am to my sister."

this one made me laugh out loud a little, even though i (well, now not- so) secretly don't know what chocolate thunder um, is.....

but the family thing.... indeed, very true. And yes, you are blessed.
