Over the last little while I've been pondering the importance of family and how great mine is.
My parents, especially have been a huge support to Jordan and I and truly believe in our marriage - and I really do feel so blessed (a lot of parents would have called their daughter crazy for wanting to get married at age 21 and claiming they'd met 'the one').
While Jordan's been here, not only do I now have my best friend for a husband, but I also have another person to tease my little sister (in the most loving way) with. And she gets both of us back just as hard!
On Christmas day there was a seat reserved next to mine, for my husband! That was truly great.
Right before the wedding, Jordan's mom, Deb came to stay with us. It was so nice to have her here and Jordan and I enjoyed showing her where I'm from.
Not too long after, Tim joined us (Jordan's dad) and we all had such a great time (the weather helped too)!
It really made me miss everyone in Utah - and it also got me thinking how great a thing it is that Jordan and I can now call all of these wonderful people 'our family'. And it just keeps getting bigger! Now Shelby has Max and Wesley, and Shad and Kenzie are expecting a baby girl. How wonderful!
It truly bites having family on different continents...
I hope we see our American family very soon. This whole visa situation is testing our patience. Big time.
Of course, not excluding the fuzzy family members who we also miss and love dearly -
