fam jam

Today Baby had a soccer game up here near school so Momma picked me up on the way and I got to root and cheer for Abigail!  It was so exciting to be able to cheer her on in person (one of the many things I miss about not living at home anymore *insert frowny face*).  After Baby's game Momma and I got to spend the afternoon shopping together for my upcoming mission trip.  Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like being with your family. 

It was so good to be able to physically touch my Momma and little Baby and hug them.  I always knew that I was a home-body and that I was blessed with a very close-knit family.  But it hasn't been until this first year out of the nest that I have realized just how blessed I am to be able to call those incredible five human beings "family."  

God definitely knew what he was doing when he placed us six together.  The way we all cohesively work together and compliment one another is beautiful.  I tear up every time I think of of those beautiful five because I love them so incredibly much.  

It has been sososo hard for me to adjust this year being away from them and not having them here to walk with me through this part of life.  I know they are all only a phone or Skype call away, but it's something about their hugs and kisses that can instantly heal any wound I have.  

I don't know if I'll every be okay with not being a permanent resident under their roof anymore (although with my major and the current job market I just might end up back there...), but I do know that anytime I'm with one of those guys I know that I'm "home." 

My confession: I am so blessed to have the family God has provided me with!
