Meet Our Village: There's nothing like the love of family and friends...

There is nothing like the support of your family and friends. One of the things I hold close to my heart is the love of family. Family is not just your parents, aunts, uncles or cousins, brothers or sisters; it's the community of people you surround yourself with that consists family,friends, and coworkers that encourage, support and adds value to your life. They are usually the ones encouraging you to do more, to be better and to never give up. They are there for you to rally with support in trouble times and be the arm that helps to pick you up and help dust yourself off to try again.

Both my husband and I have been so blessed to have both sides are our families be so supportive of us and our children. Words cannot describe how much we appreciate each and everyone of them. It is such an amazing feeling to know there are people that love you and our family just as much as to do.

Let me tell you a little bit about my family, I am the youngest child I have a brother that is ten years old than me and my parents have been married over 50 years. They have raised my brother and I to always support and love one another no matter what, to be present in each other's lives, and most importantly to put God first in households. My brother has been married almost thirty years to one of the kindest, caring and the most beautiful person inside and out. They have four of the most handsome, kindest most respectful young men. He has always been the positive role model in my life along with my parents. He ALWAYS puts God first and is forever dedicated to his wife and children. I see the sacrifices he makes daily and it makes me want to better person constantly. He is always the voice of reason when I am upset, his calming spirit always knows the right thing to say when I am blue.
