So much going on... a baby shower, birthday, New Year Eve, a bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, and a wedding all in one week. Top that off with family and friends flying in from everywhere, making sure they all have places to stay and food to eat and a way to get where the need to be and its pretty... exciting to say the least. With all this going on its pretty easy to get caught up in it all and just kind of go through the motions of everything without ever stopping to actually take it all in and enjoy the wonderful chaos. But I've learned that it's so important to take a step back and a deep breath and thank God for each beautiful season of life.
When you're the youngest of seven and almost all your siblings are married, you learn to appreciate life's business and being surrounded by so many people. This week everyone in my family will be in the same city. That is a phenomenon that really only happens about once in a year, maybe twice if were lucky. Needless to say, it will be pretty crazy but oh how I love that craziness! I hope that I never take for granted the amount of siblings (and people) that I have in my life. It really is such a blessing to know that I will always have someone to turn to for advice, comfort, love and so much more. As crazy and chaotic as it sometimes is, I really do love it and wouldn't have it any other way!
This picture is from the wedding of one of my brothers. This was two years ago and the last time we were all together. I'm so excited to see everyone again and add another brother to the family in just a few days!!
Cheers!
