family. 

is often more than just your God-given biological family. 

this picture happened as part of a joke...but just seemed to stick....

awhile back the jokes about megan and conway being josh and my kids began. we were the parents. they were the kids. we would call times the four of us would go places "family outings" megan drew this picture one night representing our little "family". (note a few things: how much shorter i am than everyone, the weirdness of josh's pants?? megans voluptuous lips?-i love it megan!)

over time our family has grown so much closer. we now have weekly family dinners. (that often dont happen until 10 at night...its how we roll)  where either the boys cook or the girls cook. it works out nicely since megan and i are roommates and josh and conway are roommates. our family dinners are the highlight of the week. with all of our busy schedules it is so nice to be able to sit down and just catch up on life with each other. 

it has even happened where josh and i have gone somewhere together and feel the need to buy our "kids" presents for the next time we see them. like they need a treat after mom and dad have been away...its so funny. we went to victoria gardens and felt the need to buy megan and conway their favorite candies from see's candy before we went home. and we brought back megan a prize from sacramento.... its silly i know but we actually do it... 

i just am feeling incredibly thankful for these three. josh. i dont even know where to begin on what i am thankful for about him ;-) he is amazing and a complete answer to prayer...i love him... megan. she is an incredible roommate and a beyond amazing friend. she is funny too!!! she makes me laugh and i can just be myself and feel comfortable. i love her. conway...or conwizzle :-) he is such a good friend. incredibly encouraging and supportive. and such an example to me...i love him too...
