I could write a book...

As the title hints, I could write a book about times spent with my family and all the numerous friends and boyfriends/girlfriends that trudge along. This past week I got to spend the Fourth of July with my family. There are too many stories to tell to describe this time. But I do want to take a moment to say just how blessed I am to have such a loving, wonderful family that no matter what there is always something to laugh about. I think sometimes my family is so close that we take each other for granted. But being able to share God's beautiful creation of the ocean and the shore with such beautiful people makes my heart smile. We may have all grown up and gone our separate ways with school and work, but you can still bring us together with whoever may tag along and we are still all kids at heart. Without a doubt, I think we can agree this picture says it all. However, we were all giggling so much when we took this and, for me, this picture caputures a moment in my life I will never forget!
