I am a mother of three, a wife, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a cousin; a business owner, a writer, a woman just taking it one day at a time.
It all began because two people fell in love...

La Familia
The thing about Mark's family...they are such amazing people. When I married my husband I had no idea how much more than him I was actually getting. Along with him came a network of people so committed to one another that helping is second nature and love flows abundantly. Take tonight, for example, when we went to a family birthday party. Despite there being so many incredible, dynamic people, there is an air of peace and love. Family gatherings epitomize a classic oxymoron: peaceful chaos. I feel...thankful. I feel...in awe of the constant network of support and acceptance. When Mark and I decided to make the sacrifice to sell our old home during the market crash and move into our new neighborhood, it was a calculated decision to provide our children the opportunity to grow up in this network. To wave at a cousin and uncle out for a bike ride, to wave at a grandmother on her way home from work...it is just the most awesome experience ever. I feel true success for providing my children with such a phenomenal base to jump from. La Familia. :)
