I Love My Family

Ok, if you know me then you know I have a HUGE family and I do mean HUGE. My Mom comes from a family of 8 children, 3 boys and 5 girls. Then my Dad comes from a family of 8 children, 7 boys and 1 girl, 2 boys deceased. Then I have my cousins from both sides, which is an insane number. Just put it this way I know my 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cousins. And you think it would be crazy, and at sometimes it definitely is, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I love having a big family except when it comes time to let the guy I'm dating, (I'm currently Single BTW), know that I have such a big family. I think only 1 boyfriend has ever met at least 5 or 6 members of my family not including my parents and siblings. Not that I've had a ton of boyfriends but most of them freak out when they find out I have such a huge family. And yeah I can understand because my family is HUGE and they are very protective over me. And no guy will ever me good enough for me, but that's only because they want me to be happy because they love me.
My sister's husband has fit right in to our family. His family isn't nearly as big as ours but he just fits right in like he has been apart of it from the beginning. Its kinda strange when I think that he's only been apart of our family for 3 years. Because it honestly feels like longer. I don't think I could have dreamed up a better man for my sister. Now if only me and my brother could find someone like that for us. I only hope I get married before my brother, because I hate to admit but I would be kinda pissed if he found someone before me. I am the middle child so I should get married next, right?
Anyway, I love all of my family members more than I can ever express. I am so grateful to have such an awesome network of loved ones. I don't know who I would be without them!
