Since coming home from Mexico I have enjoyed having a lot of time to spend with my family.  We went to the beach with my Mom's sister and her family and then spent two weeks at their house in Virginia.  I stayed busy running around their farm with my three cousins, Andrew, Courtney, and Emily.  After being home for a week we went to Ohio to visit my sister and brother-in-law.  Spending so much time away from my family the rest of the year makes me really appreciate the time that we are able to spend together whether at home or on trips like these.  God has blessed me with a very loving family, and I cherish the time we have together before I head back to Mexico.
