4th of July

This post won't be too long...but I'm beginning to think that I say that a lot.

...so the other night, I went to a family's house for the 4th of July. It's the same family I was able to go on vacation with, so I hold them very near and dear to my heart. But last night, I was laying out on the hammock  with my little Colton and Mason as worship music played in the background along with the chatter of family around the bonfire. The stars were absolutely incredible, and I felt like I was in heaven. I guess it may sound cheesy, but it's moments like that where I begin to imagine what my family will be like. Will I be the mom who has her house open to company, feeds the company, and simply enjoys being surrounded by family? I sure hope so!

I'm soo thankful for this family, especially the parents. Their dad is always giving me hugs and telling me he enjoys seeing me. He's always making me feel special. And their mom, is my discipler. She has shown me what it means to love a family and raise children in a godly way. Even their uncle! I mean, I go to shake his hand and he gives me a hug and says "Don't shake my hand....we spent a week in Florida together! Give me a hug."  I am simply blessed. I couldn't ask for a better 4th of July!
