It's Never Enough

After spending almost 10 days with Mom and Laurissa you would think I would be satisfied and not missing my family, but I still do. I just love being with those people that I can call my family. Everyone always makes me feel so loved and important. It is so fun just to laugh together. I find that when I am with family I don't feel so tired, I can work easier, and enjoy life more fully. All year I think about the time I've spent with family. I think about what we did and what we talked about. It's amazing what an influence it has over me. I am so glad I have such wonderful parents who have always done what's best for me. And great siblings who are truly my best friends. Here are a few pictures that remind me how much I love being with my family. I realize I am terrible at taking pictures. I took only a handful of my trip up to Laurissa's and I realized I don't have one of Mom or Laurissa! I wish we all lived closer so that we could spend more time together. But for now I'll just have to cherish the time I do have and enjoy being here with Jeff and Owen. I don't know what I'd do without those two! I love and miss everyone!
