Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

Day 109: My "Extended" Family

I am so grateful for the family I gained when I married Justin. My in-laws are wonderful people. We spent most of today celebrating Easter in Easthampton. This means lots of food, more laughing, hugs, card games, and quality time. I lucked out when I gained a mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in- law, three sister-in-laws, and two nieces. Along the way I gained two more brother-in-laws, and a nephew.  

I am grateful to my parents-in-law for raising the amazing man I married, and welcoming into the family from the start. My brother-in-law, Chris, has given me a glimpse into my future, as he and Justin are similar in so many ways. Amy, Sarah, and Lena have become the sisters I never had, and they gave me the added bonus of Josh and Kevin. I love my nieces, Brittany and Rachel, and  my nephew, Logan, more than I thought possible. 

It's an amazing feeling to have two families that are full of love. I am grateful for The Browns.
