Family

Family is awesome.  I don't know what I would do without my family.  They are always there for me no matter how dumb or stupid I'm being.  I don't think I would be into family history as much as I am if I didn't come from an amazing family myself.  My extended family is great as well.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding was one of my favorite movies because it reminds me of my family.  One of my favorite parts is when the main characters were standing on a bridge talking about their families.  He has a very small family and she says she has "27! 27 first cousins alone"  That would make me laugh because my Dad's parents have 41 grandchildren and my Mom's parents have 46 grandchildren.  I think I beat her with cousins.
I have been blessed to know my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins very well.  I had all four of my grandparents until I was 30.  How cool is that?  I am also blessed to know a lot of my parent's cousins and my second cousins.  I think of this when I hear people say that all of their family history has been done.  I love doing decadency research.  All these people are part of my family.  They have an impact in my life.  I want to be close to all of them forever.
