we are family

Soooo, last weekend while I was at home with the fam my sister, brother-in-law, and I were talking.

Topic of Discussion: Dave (my brother-in-law)
They were talking about how later that week they would have been together for 11 years! That is crazy! What's so interesting about it though, is that I was 10 years old. So Dave has been in over half my life. When I try to think back of a time that Dave wasn't involved in my family, it is hard to think of. That is why I hate calling Dave my brother-in-law. He is not a brother-in-law. He is simply my brother. If you're in someone's life for 11 years, you're a brother... that is for sure.
And then there's Heather. She and Tyler have been together for like 8 years. So she is also not a sister-in-law, but a sister.

Oddly enough this makes me think of my future spouse... I kind of feel bad for the poor sap to be honest =] But, I know that he is going to fit in perfectly with my family and he will become like a brother to them and a son to my parents. I just can't wait to know who he is =]

But, I just want to thank God for my family. They are amazing =]
