Gratitude Project

Day 3 - Extended Family.  Craig and I are both blessed with amazing families!  My parents will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary on the 10th of December this year - woo hoo!!!  They are incredible people!  My dad is a a rock and an example to me with his life.  He is the most honest person I know, he doesn't even speed!  He is funny and no one loves their grand kids more than him!  My mother is talented beyond belief - she sews, cooks, bakes, do flowers, make you feel loved and the most important person in the world!  She cherishes each of her grandchildren and is a great example to me in patience.  My sister Jennifer is awesome, she got most of mom's talents passed down to her and is quite the seamstress!  She is a world-traveler, professional business woman, and ultimate party planner!  Kimberly is a manager at work, home and on the field.  She organizes her children's lives so they have experience in a little bit of everything.  My brother Adam loves the country life and the great outdoors!  He is a great friend to others and excells at his job.  My brother Aaron is also a great worker, husband and father.  You can find him coaching baseball or changing a diaper and he is great at both.  My sister in law Julia is a wonderful friend and mother.  She loves her kids and works hard for them.  I have wonderful nieces and nephews - Kierra, Emmett, Shanna Lee, Bryan, Cordell, Jacob, Noa and Nathan.  Craig's dad is great example to us of perseverance and determination.  He is a great grandpa.  Craig's mom likes to have visits from family especially to celebrate the holidays.  His sister Michelle and brothers, Dean, Kevin and Scott are all hard workers and take good care of their families.  His brother in law, Ron and sister in laws Deanna, Sharlene and Julie make family get togethers fun!  He also has wonderful nieces and nephews - Nicole, Kelsey, Megan, Alex, Ashley, Rachelle, Travis, David, Michael, Nathan, Angela, Jacob, Joshua, Samantha, Stephanie, Logan, Brayden, Whitney and Brenner.  Many of them are married and have the cutest kids!  Grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins on both sides of our family are supportive and loving and we try never to miss an opportunity to see them all.  Our heritage is of great people who did amazing things and made our lives all the richer for it.  We are grateful for their hard work and sacrifices for us to have a better life.
