Family

I had a realization today. Life is about people. Perhaps this is a realization that I have had a million times, but it seems that periodically I need to remember this. It is easy to get caught up with things and money and activities and events and even just everyday life. But if you are really on track, you are paying attention to the people around you. There are no people who are more important in my life than my family. I just spent the last week with my family and family to be and wow! Seriously, they are the connection to my past and my link to the future. Getting married adds a whole new twist because now I have two families. Somehow they are beginning to blend together to become my life. My family has always been my life, and now that I am getting new family (Ryans family), they are starting to become the same. It is an amazing thing and I hope at one point everything will become natural and just feel just as smooth with my new family as it is with the family I grew up in. I think I am starting to ramble, so I think that I will call this it, but I am so grateful that I have been blessed with two amazing families!
